Crazy faces talent Mary Bashkirtseva

[SergeiSK]

Maria Konstantinova Bashkirtseva hardly could be considered a genius, but the person she was, of course, remarkable and very talented.

Refine, fame Bashkirtseva was primarily due to its tysyachestranichnomu "Diary. A conventional diary, in which she was twelve years until his death recorded as any other girl at the time, thoughts, emotions and events of the day.

But no. Diary Bashkirtseva was not common because a huge print run sold throughout Europe, with resounding success. And probably not for nothing that the British Prime Minister at that time, Sir William Gladstone called it the most remarkable book of the century.

I can not say that Mary has underestimated his abilities. She wished that her diary was published. "I bequeath to my blog audience ... I present to you here is something unheard of ... when I die, they will read my life which I find very remarkable (but otherwise can not be)," - she writes, without false modesty. Her words: "Nothing - before me, nothing - after me, nothing - except for me" - sounds rather arrogant.

But we must commend the tenacity and ambition Bashkirtseva as the phenomenal development of their abilities, it first must itself.

"I had no childhood" - quite rightly she wrote in her diary. Bet! Mary herself was a program of their training sessions, which included mathematics, physics and chemistry, Latin and Greek language. German, English and Italian, she has owned since childhood, and French was her native language, she thought him and kept his diary. At the same time Bashkirtseva passionately engaged in music. Certainly, this "unprofessional" approach, its formation, despite the versatility, is highly chaotic and fragmentary. But the arrogant and haughty aristocrat already in childhood looking for a class, not typical of the young ladies of her age.

Yes, God really gave her a whole deposit of talent. She had a great voice (soprano), literary talent, the ability of a polyglot, a talent musician and artist. Her paintings are exhibited in the Tretyakov Gallery and the Russian museum, the museums of Paris, Nice, Amsterdam. She had a noble descent, she was considered a rare beauty and an heiress. And yet - she very much wanted to become famous!

Everywhere Bashkirtseva surrounded by luxury and universal adoration. Maria eagerly grasped all the new and much studied - foreign languages and philosophy, history, literature, music and singing - and all she wanted to be first, because the goal of Mary Bashkirtseva not advantageous marriage with the Count or Baron, as many as the subjugation of the world !

She felt his difference from others of the fair sex. "I have a female only has the shell and the shell is damn feminine, but that the rest, it is a damn other" - so wrote to Mary in his diary as early as the age of 17.

In life you can see Bashkirtseva mystical element: the fate seemed to resist manifestations of her talent. As soon as she began to reach heights, rock stopped her, so as not to give it to achieve the level of genius. At age 18, Maria begins to fail in 19 years, losing its unique voice. And slowly dying of tuberculosis. But it can paint, sculpt sculptures, playfully touch with Maupassant, whom she wished to entrust the publication of his "Diary", but was soon disillusioned by the famous French novelist, participate in discussions of refined society of writers, artists and politicians. While the growing symptoms of the disease have not led to a creative or even secular life.

In July 1880 she wrote in her diary: "... I have such a pain between the neck and left ear, which can go mad." And in August 1881: "I do not always hear what they say to me sitter, and tremble with fear at the thought that they speak, and did not suffer from this job?"

At this time, Mary knew that the verdict and death not far off. But the feeling of premature death only gave her energy and the exclusive focus. She was in a hurry to have time to realize their talents. As if saying goodbye to life, Bashkirtseva started to write a large panel "Spring", in which a young woman leaning against a tree, sitting on the grass, lost in sweet dreams.

How rich was its creative and spiritual life, is as scarce submitted personal life. Bashkirtseva never known a great love, though she was ready and, not surprising for her age, wanted her. And the end of his short life, so she knew this fact: "I find that my hand was stupid not to do the only thing that gives happiness, making you forget all the grief - love."

Progressive tuberculosis made it impossible for her to celebrate her twenty fourth birthday. Russian girl Maria was buried in the heart of Paris in the cemetery of Passy.

Hysterical psychopaths always overshadow people with normal mentality, because they tend to only one - to stand out. If their life is composed by reasons beyond their tragic, they are even more attracted attention. Moreover, a variety of ways: from the social positive (artistic behavior) to negative social (fanciful clothes and behavior, demonstration of the offense). Hysterical personality traits can play a positive role only in combination with creative achievements as well as help you quickly achieve public recognition.

Diaries of Mary Bashkirtseva full of narcissism and the desire to "samodemonstratsii. Leaving, for example, in the autumn 1876 in Ukraine, Bashkirtseva feverishly expanding their knowledge on agriculture, but only to "surprise someone talking about sowing barley or rye as near to the verse of Shakespeare or a tirade from the philosophy of Plato. In other words, again to attract attention, so that the typical hysterical personality.

Hysterical afford this epithet against Bashkirtseva, characterized by a tendency to deceive. And the manifestations of mental disorder, Maria is no exception in the clinical picture of this disorder. Here is one example. Thus, it is, seeking the glory of all possible (and not very acceptable) ways, and sent to the exhibition in Nice strange sculptural work, gave her a creature of his hands.

Diagnosis Bashkirtseva - hysterical psychopathy - now sounds less accusingly: hysterical personality disorder. The essence of the disease, of course, this does not change, because there is no "good" or "bad" diagnoses, as there is no "good" or "bad" patients. If Bashkirtseva suffered only mental illness - hysteria, the art (and beautiful, and literary and vocal) could be enriched more than one masterpiece - in no small part precisely because of pathological cast of her character, desire to show himself, to show others all of their talents.

Bashkirtseva vain afraid that her descendants forget. In one of the museums of Paris is a statue of "Immortality" by sculptor Lanzhepe. Handsome young man holding a scroll with the names of artists who died young and have gained posthumous fame. Among the names of only one woman - Mary Bashkirtseva.
paintings of the artist "Meeting", "Portrait of a model", "Jean and Jacques are stored in the Louvre.

Show me a man who under such blows of fate, and in such a young age, besides being a woman living at the time, keep your minds completely healthy. I think this is a very talented man, and all mental zamorochki were purely compensatory in nature. In addition, the complacency and propensity inherent in the huge number of psychologically "normal" people.

Natasha, it is also a more "youthful maximalism" .. (I had known these upstarts in their youth)
And would have stayed alive, would be seriously pressed the "some" ..

And then, Tash, "health"-is also a relative concept .. (Ya like any Dali or Picasso "healthy" do not think) ..
No "deviations", no "achievements"

In life you can see the mystical Bashkirtseva element: the fate seemed to resist manifestations of her talents.

Blavatsky came back to me ..
"Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (english: Helena Blavatsky, nee Hahn, therein. Von Hahn [1], 31 July (August 12), 1831, Yekaterinoslav, Russian Empire - April 26 (May 8), 1891, London) - Theosophist [2], writer and traveler.

Some authoritative sources (mainly Western, Wikipedia) claim that HP Blavatsky was an occultist [3] and spiritualist [4], while others (some of the Russian philosophical dictionaries, encyclopedias, books) - Russian philosopher [5] and scholars in religious studies [6].

From 1848 to 1875 made almost three times the round trip. [7]

In 1875 in New York with Col. GS Olcott founded the Theosophical Society, one of the main purposes of which was to "form a nucleus of universal brotherhood without distinction of race, color, sex, caste and religion."

The main activity of HP Blavatsky held in the U.S., Britain and India. Major works written in English. "
