КОНСТАНТИН ПАУСТОВСКИЙ И ФУТУРИЗМ: К ПОСТАНОВКЕ ПРОБЛЕМЫ

Abstract

The article examines new evidence of Konstantin Paustovsky’s attention to Russian futurists’ creative experiments with the word, its form, sound, and style. Paustovsky wrote a strong impression from the poetry evenings of the ego-futurist Igor Severyanin, whose work on the phrase musicality resulted in Paustovsky’s increased attention to the sound of the word. Varied experiences of acquaintance with avant-garde painting, graphics, abstruse poems and plays, books of Russian and Georgian futurists in Tiflis in the early 1920s were described in the story “Rush to the South”. An important part of Paustovsky’s artistic world was the work of the artist Niko Pirosmanishvili discovered by the futurists. Thus, the aesthetic evolution of Paustovsky’s work is presented in a broader context.
