"Мои...три лица..." (Опыт дневниковой авторепрезентации Михаила Кузмина)

The form of presentation is considered on the example of fragments from the diary of Mikhail Kuzmin, and is relatively named by the author of the article as "self- ekphrasis". Poet’s self- awareness is correlated here with internal intensions and own appearance. The features of appearance on principle of similarity and creative development provoke the attempts of writer to find out the own features in a foreign person’s face and vice versa. Kuzmin undertakes attempts of creative self- portraiture through the persons of Leonardo da Vinci, Еvlogiy and Casanova.
