Imagismus

Imagismus fuit poeticus saeculi vicensimi ineuntis motus Anglo-Americanus qui subtilibus imaginibus ante oculos propositis et linguae clarae acutaeque studebat. Habetur motus maximi momenti in poesi Anglica post industriam Praeraphaelitum.^[1] Modernismum saeculo vicensimo ineunte vicissim incitavit,^[2] et nunc putatur primus motus litterarius modernisticus lingua Anglica ordinatus.^[3] Imagismus aliquando consideratur "successio creantium punctorum temporis, potius quam ullum continuum aut sustentum evolutionis tempus."^[4] Rene Taupin dixit "Imagismus accuratius habetur non doctrina, non adeo schola poetica, sed societas paucorum poetarum qui quodam tempore inter se paucis principiis magni momenti concinebant."^[5][6]

Imagistae mollitiam animi et circumlocutionem reiecerunt quae in multo poesi Romatica et litteris Victorianis usitate inveniebantur, contra eorum aequales poetas Georgianos, qui plerumque intra illam traditionem componendo contenti erant. Cum Imagismus oriretur, Henricus Wadsworth Longfellow et Alfredus Tennyson vera poesis specimina habebantur, lectoresque vulgares ingenium eorum scriptorum, aliquando moralizandum, magnopere aestimabant. Ex contrario, Imagismus regressum postulavit ad quod mores classicos videbatur, sicut simplicitas praebendi et parsimonia linguae, cum voluntate formarum versuum non usitatarum exploratarum.

Editiones Imagistae quae inter 1914 et 1917 apparuerunt opera multorum ex imminentibus personis modernisticis vehementius dicebant, in poesi et aliis campis cogitationis. Imagistae, quorum plures ex Magna Britannia, Hibernia, et Civitatibus Foederatis migraverant, praecipue Londinii habitabant. Aliquantulum inusitate eo tempore, nonnullae maiores scriptores Imagistici erant mulieres.

Usitata Imagismi proprietas est conatus secernere singulam imaginem ad patefaciendam eius naturam veram. Haec proprietas cum evolutionibus aequalibus in arte avant-garde congruebat, praecipue in Cubismo. Quamquam Imagismus res secernet per usum rei quam Ezra Pound singula lucida^[7] appellavit, ratio ideogrammatica Poundiana, quae res solidas ad exprimendam abstractionem una ponit, modi Cubismi similis est, qui multiplices prospectus in singulam imaginem commiscere solet.^[8]
