Biography
In modern literary studies, Osip BRIC is perceived as a non-zean shadow of Vladimir Mayakovsky - shone avant-garde art, sensual man, Poet-Pravdoraba. Or as "Eternal Beloved" Lily Brick. But in fact, he is also a prominent figure in the work of the USSR - writer, publicist, literary critic.Childhood and youth
Osip Maksimovich (Meerovich) BRIC was born on January 28, 1888 in Moscow, the largest city of the Russian Empire, in the family of the merchant Maxim (Meera-Gozias) Pavlovich and Polina Yuryevna (in the Maigorian). He had to inherit the father's case - the shop of precious stones "Pavel Bric. The widow and son, "but since childhood began to be in the direction of attorney and literature.
In school years, Osip with his comrades wrote the novel "King of Fighters". The guys decided to issue their work portion. The first chapter liked the newsmens, the second was a little late with access to the light and was not so happily met, and the third and did not get readers to the eyes.
Fiasco's victims on a literary field, BRIC entered the Faculty of Faculty of Moscow University. In 1910 he graduated, and already in 1911 settled an assistant to the jury of the attorney. Finally spread to the boring lawyer of Osipa Maximovich made Vladimir Mayakovsky.
Personal life
Of course, the greatest interest in contemporaries, and the Bohemian of the USSR, causes the personal life of the liberal brik. And more precisely, the love triangle, which established between him, the legitimate wife of Lily Bric and the poet-avant-garde Vladimir Mayakovsky. They were called the "Swedish family" and condemned for non-daily connections.It is incorrect to call a love triangle situation: when two men love one woman (or vice versa), it turns out an "corner". But in this case, the geometric figure was closed, because Osip was also crazy about Vladimir Mayakovsky. He wore his sonorous voice and literary talent. That is why it was not a scene when Lily admitted that they fell in love with the poet, and humbly offered to live threesome.
However, it is worth returning to the origins of the Roman of Osipa Brick and then Lily Kagan. He was 16 years old, and she - 13. As the "Muse of the Russian avant-garde" wrote in his diaries, they returned home after the celebration of the New Year, when the writer suddenly asked:
"And it doesn't seem to you, lily that there is something more than friendship between us?" "I didn't seem, I just didn't think about it, but I really liked the wording, and I answered from surprise:" Yes, it seems "" , - recalled Lily Bric.Since then, teens began to meet. They fell in love with each other, but Osip loved stronger. He was even ready to raise his parents because of his chosen: Maxim Pavlovich and Polina Yuryevna did not want their son to be with a windy girl. Despite their prejudice, in the spring of 1912, Lilya Kagan began to wear Brick surname.
According to the statements of the "music of the Russian avant-garde", her marriage with Osipom Maksimovich gave a crack in 1915, at the time of his acquaintance with Vladimir Mayakovsky. But officially divorce was issued only 10 years later. However, a Jew writer forever remained in history as husband Lily Bric. Even though he had the second wife Yevgeny Gavrilovna Sokolov-Pearly.
Lily sorrified her spouse recognition in romantic feelings to Vladimir Mayakovsky in 1918. Since then, until 1922, they threaten in the same apartment. On their entrance door hung a uncomplicated plate "Bricks. Mayakovsky. "
Literary crituals have not yet agreed in the opinion, who in this abnormal novel was the affected party - Osip Maksimovich, hidden in the shadow of the poet-gigan, or Vladimir Vladimirovich, who truly never possessed Lily Bric. To judge this in modern conditions is perhaps difficult. But the "Musa of the Russian avant-garde" itself swore, which always felt the first spouse, who bestowed her name.
The librarian Evgenia Sokolova-Pearly, the former companion of the film director Vitaly Pearly, was the only woman to which Lily Bric was jealous of her husband, before free in sexual relations. But it was her Osip who devoted poems and thanked God for their meeting in the diaries. With "Mila Zhenya", the writer lived 20 years old, up to his death, but regularly continued to run to the Museum of the Russian avant-garde.
Bric's children did not start any of the women.
Creation
Conditionally, the work of the brick can be divided into 2 periods - during the lifetime of Vladimir Mayakovsky and after his death in 1930. After all, it is thanks to the poet, he again became interested in literature and took the pen.
Osip Maksimovich sponsored the exit of the poeks of the Mayakovsky "cloud in the pants" and "Flute-spine." The review of one of them called "Bread! ..." (1915) became his debut in the press. And more successful.
Since then, Brick knew as a literary criticism and theorist. He wrote a brilliant work "sound repetitions" (1917) about sounding and rhyme, which retains its relevance to this day. And created a society for the study of the poetic language, which made a significant contribution to the development of not only domestic, but also global linguistics.
One of the milestones of the BRICA bibliography BRIC was the story-story "Nonopaunt" (1923). The prototype of the main character was syrupted, of course, with the "music of the Russian avant-garde".
In the 1920s, Osip Maksimovich came to cinema. He wrote scenarios for the Interview-Rus company. One of the most notable works is the film "Descendant of Genghis Khan" (1929), threatening in the USSR.
BRIC also adapted for the filmmaker Roman Ivan Turgenev "Fathers and Children". But the director Vsevolod Meyerhold, who initiated the shielding, quickly abandoned the idea. The resulting scenario became a play, which is still successful in Moscow theaters.
In April 1930, Vladimir Mayakovsky died, and Osipa Maximovich as if turned away from the literature. He focused on music. Posted by libretto for the operas "Karaminian man", "Name Day", "Ivan Grozny". Alas, these musical works did not hear contemporaries: Joseph Stalin rejected each of the opera.
Brick has memories "About Khlebnikov" (1944). The similar book he wanted to write about his faithful friend. Once the writer said:
"For me, Mayakovsky is not a person, but an event. My book about it will be called: "Vladimir Mayakovsky. Eyewitness story ".The work has never implemented on the pages.
Death
The biography of the writer ended February 22, 1945. He came home and pressed the call, and when the door opened, the man was lying without feelings. The cause of death was a heart attack. The tragedy provoked, perhaps, the most scandalous expression Lily BRIC:"When Mayakovsky shot himself - Mayakovsky died when Brick died - I died.""The Muse of the Russian avant-garde" was unbeliever, but insisted that Osipa Maximovich was buried in the monastery wall. So it happened: Brick's grave is located in Columbia Novodevichy Cemetery in Moscow.
