HIS EVALUATION OF OTHER ARTISTS
Vsevolod Yemilyevich Meyerhold (1874-1940)
"I think Meyerhold is considered to be one of the greatest artists of our age, besides Chaplin and Picasso."
"Meyerhold was not only a western man. That is to say, his cultural accumulation was not made of only western humanity, not with the spirit of Greece and Rome alone. His culture was large just as it should be for every real socialist; it was a world culture. He annexed the culture of the east, the heritage of Byzantium to his culture and he comprehended these very well. That is why he accepted all methods of the theatre."
"I consider the Meyerhold Theatre as one of the best movements in social realism."
