Maksimilian Aleksandrovich Voloshin

Japanese: ボローシン（英語表記）Maksimilian Aleksandrovich Voloshin

1877‐1932
Russian poet. Born into an aristocratic family in Kiev, he studied painting in Paris for many years and was strongly influenced by French poetry and impressionist painting. He formed friendships with VI Ivanov and contributed to Symbolist magazines such as Vesy from Paris, but later he became closer to Acmeism and advocated a new realism (neo-realism) based on Symbolism. His style of poetry is characterized by a rigid, pictorial grandeur, with themes of nature and history. In addition to his published collections of poems, such as his first collection of poems, Psalms 1900-1910 (1910) and The Deaf and Mute Demon (1919), he also has many unpublished poems, as well as excellent translations of French poetry and watercolors of the landscapes of his home city of Crimea.

1877‐1932
ロシアの詩人。キエフの貴族の家に生まれ，長くパリで絵画を学び，フランス詩，印象派絵画の強い影響を受けた。V.I.イワーノフなどと親交を結び，パリから《天秤Vesy》など象徴派の雑誌に寄稿したが，後にアクメイズムに接近し，象徴主義を基礎とした新しい写実主義〈ネオ･リアリズム〉を唱えた。自然や歴史を題材に，硬質な絵画的壮麗さをただよわせる詩風を特徴とする。処女詩集《詩篇　1900‐1910》(1910)，《聾啞の悪魔》(1919)などの公刊された詩集のほかに，多数の未刊の詩があり，さらにフランス詩のすぐれた翻訳，居住地クリミアの風景を描く水彩画も見逃せない。
