Ivan Konevskoi: "Wise Child" of Russian Symbolism is the first
study in any language of Ivan Konevskoi -- poet, thinker, mystic- -
for many decades the "lost genius" of Russian modernism. A fresh
and compelling figure, Konevskoi plunged deeply into the currents
of modern mystical thought and art in the 1890s. A passionate
searcher for immortality, he developed his own version of pantheism
meant to guard his unique persona from dissolution in the All-One.
The poetry of Tiutchev, Vladimir Solov'ev Soloviev and Rossetti,
William James's psychology, paintings of Pre-Raphaelites and Arnold
Boecklin, Old Russian historical myth, the Finnish Kalevala: all
engaged him during his brief life. His worldview grew more
audacious, his confidence in the magical power of the word grew
more assured. Drowning in 1901 at 23, Konevskoi left a legacy
unfinished, rich, and intriguing.
