Elena Guro as a poet and artist
In the early XX-th century arts are in their closest approach. The literature and fine art interact especially closely. But the forms and degree of these interactions is different. Almost all the poets influenced by the new French painting, Italian futuristic experiments. For some, the image was the reason for the creation of a literary work. For others - in collaboration with the artists is made possible close to identical "translation" of texts from one symbolic system to another. In some cases, you can talk about the syncretic nature of the poet, when the poet's drawings bring to the understanding of his poetry, highlighting the picturesque quality of individual poetic images reveal the ways of their creation and techniques, close to the fine. This poetics was typical for Elena Genrikhovna Guro (1877-1913).
