1.To which literary movement do the works of V. Mayakovsky belong?Mayakovsky belonged to futurism, to its most influential group “kubofu-

tourists,” or the poets of the “Gilea” (this, in addition to Mayakovsky, included Burliuk, Kruchenykh, Khlebnikov).

2.What is futurism?

Futurism is an avant-garde movement in European and Russian art of the early 20th century, which denied the artistic and moral heritage, preached the destruction of the forms and conventions of art for the sake of merging it with the accelerated life process. The time of birth of Russian futurism (from lat. futurum - future) is considered to be 1910, when the first futuristic collection “The Fishing Tank of Judges” was published (authors: D. Burliuk, V. Khlebnikov, V. Kamensky, V. Mayakovsky and A. Kruchenykh). In addition to the Gileya group, there were also “ego-futurists” (I. Severyanin, I. Ignatiev, V. Gnedov) and the Centrifuge association (B. Pasternak, N. Aseev, S. Bobrov, etc.). The first declaration of the Futurists - “A slap in the face to public taste” - was published in 1912.

3.What were the ideas of futurism?

Mayakovsky declared his intention to “become a creator of his own life and a legislator for the lives of others.” The futurists claimed a universal mission: to create super-art that would be able to transform the world. At the same time, they sought to rationally substantiate creativity, relying on fundamental sciences - physics, mathematics. Their work went beyond literature and was associated with avant-garde groups of artists of the 1910s: “Jack of Diamonds”, “Donkey’s Tail”, “Youth Union”. Most futurists combined literature with painting or music. They deliberately shocked the public, wanting to awaken the desire to change themselves and the world in order to move towards the future.

4.What do you know about V. Mayakovsky’s family?

Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky was born on July 7, 1893 in the family of a forester who lived with his wife Alexandra Alekseevna, son and daughters Olya and Lyuda, in Baghdadi (Georgia). My father died early. The Mayakovskys moved to Moscow. Vladimir Mayakovsky had already graduated from the gymnasium in Kutaisi (he also studied painting there).

5.What kind of education did V. Mayakovsky receive?

After graduating from the gymnasium in Kutaisi and arriving in Moscow, V. Mayakovsky, after several years of participating in the activities of the RSDLP (Bolsheviks) and being in prison for this (11 months in Butyrki), entered the School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture: “the only place where they accepted without certificates of trustworthiness."

6.Tell us about the beginning of V. Mayakovsky’s work.

The first poem, “Night,” was published in the collection “A Slap in the Face of Public Taste.” The poems of 1912-1917 were distinguished by innovation in the field of form, a sense of disaster and “exhaustion” of the old culture and all forms of art, since Mayakovsky’s early work developed in the mainstream of futurism.

7.What genre did Mayakovsky gravitate towards?

Mayakovsky brought a new understanding to the genre of the poem. Although the poem is an epic genre, Mayakovsky has a lyrical beginning in it. He created the poems: “Cloud in Pants”, “Spine Flute”, “War and Peace”, “Man”, “150 LLC LLC”, “Good!”, “I Love”, “About This”.

8.What are the motives and themes of V. Mayakovsky’s satirical poetry?

In early poetry, the poet expresses a protest against the modern way of life that he hates. Therefore, at the heart of his works is the slogan “Down!” - “Down with your war!”, “Down with your religion!”, “Down with your art!”, “Down with your love!” He expresses his indignation in the poems: “Here!”, “To you!”, “Me and Napoleon,” speaking out against the war; against the humiliation of a person (“Hymn to a scientist”, “Hymn to a judge”, “My attitude to this”).

In the post-revolutionary period, Mayakovsky’s satire was directed against bureaucracy, philistinism, stupidity and vulgarity (“The Oversat,” “Factory of Bureaucrats,” “Letter to Molchanov’s Beloved, Abandoned by Him,” “Clerical Habits,” etc.)

9.Name Mayakovsky's plays.

These are “The Bedbug” and “Bathhouse” - satirical comedies.

10.What is Mayakovsky's contribution to art?

Mayakovsky was a multi-talented person - not only a poet, but also an artist. He worked during ROSTA, illustrating political news, and painted pictures. He was the author of a number of scripts for silent films, the most famous of which was for the film “The Young Lady and the Hooligan.” V.V. Mayakovsky also starred in this film as an actor.
