 Boris Pasternak's Biography
Pasternak's futurist experience and friendship with Mayakovsky led him in 1923 to join the latter's LEF (Left Front of Art) group, but the association was brief, for he disliked the "applied art" mentality and corporate artistic activities of the Left Art movement.
In the work Pasternak also represented creativity as a form of "energy" that displaced the whole of reality, releasing showers of random metaphor and imagery whose function was to speak symbolically, on the poet's behalf, and as though without his participation.
Pasternak was officially recognized as a major poetic talent, and for a time he perhaps naively showed willingness to participate in official literary life.

Boris Pasternak is a Nobel Prize-winning Russian author, mainly known in his homeland as one of the finest twentieth-century Russian poets, but in the world at large almost exclusively as the author of Doktor Zhivago [Doctor Zhivago, first published in 1957].
Pasternak was born in Moscow, on 10 February 1890, into a stimulating (secular Jewish, turned Russian intelligentsia) artistic background.
Pasternak stands, therefore, as a rare example of a poet who began writing in an extremely convoluted manner and then gradually achieved, over the next forty years or so, a relatively simple and conventional lyric style.
