end of the old century and the beginning of a new, controversial era of decline and prosperity - this time, which generates geniuses.Outstanding poets of the Silver Age: Osip Mandelstam, Bryusov, Konstantin Balmont, Maximilian Voloshin, Vladislav Khodasevich, Bely, Innocent Ann Igor Northerner, Anna Akhmatova, Boris Pasternak, Gumilev, and many others, during the life of often irreconcilably at odds with each other on the basis ofthe disagreement about the prospects of Russian philosophical thought, religion and its influence on art.But over time, all of these names are merged into one for us the symbol of the beautiful and turbulent era.Their work began to designate a single term - "poets of the Silver Age."Not everyone will understand our contemporary, what is the fundamental difference between the concepts of the philosophy of art at the time, and why they have received such resounding common name.
term "Silver Age" refers to the associative poetry century "gold" - the first third of the nineteenth century, when did Alexander Pushkin and his classmates at Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum.These rebels and upstarts (in the eyes of respectable citizens), proved to be geniuses, converts cultural and political face of Russia.Heirs of this great revolution were Russian poets of the Silver Age.But if the creators of Pushkin's era gave rise to a new form of Russian literature, created a harmonious modern language, at the end of the nineteenth century artists encroached on the inner content of the word, began to experiment with the meaning and sound, trying to penetrate the innermost secrets of language, its psychological essence, the secrets of emotional impact.
tense struggle, a sense of decline and revival of hope, challenge outdated traditions, finding new ways of artistic expression, interest in taboo topics, occult, religion, mysticism - all tried to reflect in their works of poets of the Silver Age.The new awakening of Russia, a premonition of disaster, a passionate desire to live and hopelessness spawned hitherto unseen form of poetic art.The destructive large-scale war, which involved chemical weapons, questioned the main value - the sanctity of human life, thereby undermining all morals.
European democratic revolution, a series of revolutionary events in Russia partly provoked partly themselves were formed by new cultural and philosophical currents.Modernism in art is a reflection of the spiritual world of the people of that era, and the poets of the Silver Age expressed in poems amazing sense of self, afraid of being crushed technogenic hydra progress.Dada came to light - one of the popular trends of the time.E.Golyshev, Kandinsky - followers of Hugo Bala, which was released on the scene in a suit of trimming the aluminum pipe and read rhythmic and meaningless combinations of letters sets, piously believed that the new time does not require the use old words - technical progress has destroyed the harmony of meaning andsound, now every word sound will affect the person's emotions, and that's enough.So there were verses in the style of "yes."
categorical denial of the old values and inescapable heartache new poets forced to seek solace in a fantasy world and characters.Symbolist poets of the Silver Age (Osip Mandelstam, Blok, Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva) believed in the power of words, and denied the influence of progress in literature.His poems they maintained the idea that only immersed in their inner world and finds symbols expressing the idea of the eternal God, the soul, of love and death of a person can be reborn to a new life.
Silver Age of Russian poetry can not be considered a chronological period, which was formed only one new literary trend.This is the era of a powerful intellectual lifting, giving rise to many concepts of art: Acmeism, futurism, imazhenizm, Dadaism, novokrestyanskaya poetry and others. They are all significantly influenced the formation of a new art, changing ideas about man's place in the world, on the progress of God and Soul.
