Bénédikt Livchits
Bénédikt Livchits , poet, theorist and Russian essay writer. It published the archer in an eye and half (1914) which reports the development of the Russian avant-garde.
The title is an allusion to the Scythian archer who is turned over on his Slavic destiny and only part of its glance in direction of the Occident directs:
“With the meeting of the Occident, supported by the East, in a cataclysm that nothing could retain, flooded plugging light of prehistory, the atavistic layers, torrential rates/rhythms advance, and, ahead, holding up a lance, precipitates in a cloud of iridescent dust a wild rider, a Scythian warrior who turned his face behind and threw half of his eye a glance towards the Occident - the archer in an eye and half. ”
The attraction of the artists of the Russian avant-garde for the Scythian past is due partly to their passion for archeology. Livchits, speaks in its memories about an excavation about kourganes by one about the brothers Bourliouk:
“In others kourganes less old, Vladimir who devoted himself with enthusiasm to excavations during the summer months found arcs scythic, quivers, and it equipped with them its gunners in an eye in the mortal combat with the Parisian ones (allusion to the table of Pablo Picasso, Young ladies of Avignon ) broken up on basic surfaces. ”
