EISENSTEIN ON MEYERHOLD - THE RELATIONSHIP OF TWO PROMINENT ARTISTS

This exceptional book, prepared by the Soviet film historian Vladimir Zabrodin, is a fascinating journey into the relationship of two giants of art - Sergei Eisenstein and Vsevolod Meyerhold. A compilation of texts, memories and analyses that allow us to understand their mutual influences, inspirations and turbulent relationships against the backdrop of the era.

• Unique collage of Eisenstein's texts about Meyerhold
• Spectrum of evaluations and opinions from fascination to rejection
• Analysis of the relationship student-master on various levels
• Insight into the ideas and views of both creators on theater and cinema
• A wealth of information about Russian and Soviet theater and cinema

This book is not only a collection of texts, but above all a story about the complicated relationship between student and master, marked by fascination, rivalry and even rejection. Zabrodin, analyzing Eisenstein's work, points to his duality - on the one hand, dependence on Meyerhold's achievements, on the other - opposition to them. This dynamic of the relationship, shown against the backdrop of the turbulent times of Soviet Russia, makes this book an extremely interesting read.

In the afterword, Zabrodin puts forward a fascinating thesis, suggesting that Eisenstein's inaccessible beloved may have been Meyerhold's second wife, Zinaida Reich. This hypothesis, based on the analysis of Eisenstein's unfinished works, adds extra spice to the book and provokes a deeper reflection on the life and work of both artists.
