Boutlyany

The Boudlyany are a group of writers, the first Russian futuristic group, which later turned into a movement of cubo-futurists . Some of its members called this word a trend, a direction, and not just a creative association.

The term was invented (formed from the word form will be ) by Velimir Khlebnikov to refer to futuristic artists. Initially, he emphasized the originality of Russian futurism , which did not fully adopt the position of Filippo Marinetti , the ideologist of the European futuristic movement. Vasily Kamensky considered the will to be an independent phenomenon: “the birth of our Russian futurism, our“ revolution in art ”, our struggle for new art and our works are phenomena of exceptional independence, dictated by time and crisis, backwardness, carrion, pessimism, philistinism, vulgarity of old art” .

Poets Velimir Khlebnikov , David Burliuk , Vasily Kamensky , Vladimir Mayakovsky , Alexei Kruchenykh belonged to the tribesmen ; artists Nikolai Kulbin , Kazimir Malevich ; composers Mikhail Matyushin , Arthur Lurie .

The first collection of the beggars “The Judges' Pool” was released in 1910, at about the same time as the manifesto of Marinetti. In the summer of 1910, the Bolsheviks, led by David Burliuk, also began to call themselves the “ Gilea ” group, and in 1912 - the Futurists, only Khlebnikov and Kruchenyh continued to use the term “Belyan”. For example, in the joint declaration “The Word As Such” ( 1913 ), they write: “Painters will be fond of using parts of bodies, cuts, and will be reporters - with chopped words, half-words and their bizarre, cunning combinations ( abstruse language ).” Vladimir Mayakovsky, in an article entitled “The Budetlyans ” ( 1914 ), used this word as the name of people of the future, and not members of the association of cubo-futurists: “The human basis of Russia has changed. Powerful people of the future were born. Strongmen will be looming. ”
