Keturi Vėjai
Keturi vėjai (''The Four Winds'') was a Lithuanian literary movement and literary magazine, active from 1924 to 1928. The ''Keturi vėjai'' movement began with the publication of ''The Prophet of the Four Winds'' by Kazys Binkis (1893–1942). The theoretical basis of ''Keturi vėjai'' initially was futurism which arrived through Russia from the West, and it later was influenced by cubism, dadaism, surrealism, unanimism, and German expressionism. The most influential futurist for Lithuanian writers was Russian poet Vladimir Mayakovsky. Members of ''Keturi vėjai'' included founder Kazys Binkis, Antanas Rimydis (b. 1905), Juozas Tysliava (b. 1902), Salys Šemerys (b. 1898), Juozas Žengė (b. 1899), and Teofilis Tilvytis (b. 1903). Poet Adomas Jakštas was a fierce critic of the ''Keturi vėjai'' movement. He objected to its literary principles, aesthetics, and philosophy. The only poet of that generation not attracted to ''Keturi vėjai'' was Stasys Santvaras, who wa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
