Silver Age

Disillusioned idealists, dreamers and creators of life — representatives of the poetic movements of the late 19th century. The Silver Age became an era of new trends that affected not only literature, music, and painting but also other spheres of... art. This is a period of moving away from traditional creative methods and the formation of poetic directions. Mysticism, subtext, and musical sound of the symbolists A. Blok and K. Balmont. Simplicity of language, clarity of images, references to ancient epochs of the acmeists N. Gumilyov and O. Mandelstam. Experiments with language and form in the poems of futurists I. Severyanin and V. Mayakovsky form an integral part of Russian poetry, a rich heritage of their time.
