My Take
Vladimir Mayakovsky fascinates me as an artist who lived at maximum volume. Born in Georgia, central to Russian Futurism, he wrote, acted, and designed posters with a ferocity that turned poetry into a public, almost physical event. I'm drawn to that total commitment, the way he hurled himself against his era rather than observing it from a safe distance. His death at thirty-six still feels like a tragedy, a flame that burned too hot to last. A century later his lines retain their charge, and I think that lasting heat is the truest measure of the man.
