Abstract

Although both drastically different in philosophy, Surrealism and Russian Futurism failed to endure, but in similar ways. Surrealism, as defined by Andre Breton, is grounded in past philosophies while Mayakovsky's Russian futurism floats somewhere in an intangible future. Breton often channels the likes of Immanuel Kant, writing with undertones of aestheticism combined with the modernist demeanor of keeping separate from regular people. Mayakovsky endeavors to invent a movement independent of any previous ones with the aid of an entirely new audience. While both men were heavily influenced by the current Communist state, the real politics they played were the politics of humanity.
