Abstract
Mayakovsky’s poem “I Love” and his sketch “Me Myself’ are being compared in the article as two autobiographical works. Maximal rapprochement of art and biography, typical for the Silver Age epoch, was powerfully embodied in the poems “Cloud in Trousers”, “Man”. Revision of this model in the years of the revolution and transition to the positions of a productional art demanded a different poetics. Mayakovsky’s search of a genre of autobiographical expression in 1922 reflected obviously the contradiction between the demand of the aesthetics of the Left front of arts (a document, a fact) and the nature of the poet’s talent. The poem “I Love” and the sketch “Me Myself’ are being examined as the examples of moving from lyrics to irony, from a confession to designing of the poet’s biography.
