The Poetics of Home

In the late watercolors of the Russian symbolist Maksimilian Voloshin (1877–1932), Crimea is a double-voiced muse. In radiant blues and vigorous greens, his paintings of the Black Sea peninsula celebrate a muscular natural landscape, a sea and sky bound to jagged peaks and sun-bleached shores. Yet in their paucity of human figures, in their barren trees borne from thin, tremulous brushstrokes, these akvareli also lament a troubled human landscape—one that seems afflicted by what Voloshin calls a “desiccation of human cultures” (“prosykhanie liudskikh kul’tur”) in the poem “Dom poeta” (“House of the Poet” [1926]): Zdes’, v etikh skladkakh moria i zemli, Liudskikh kul’tur ne prosykhala plesen’— Prostor stoletii byl dlia zhizni tesen, Pokamest my—Rossiia—ne prishli. Za poltorasta let—s Ekateriny – My vytoptali musul’manskii rai, Sveli lesa, razmykali ruiny, Raskhitili i razorili krai. 1
