Among Artists

Vasily Vasilievich Rozanov (1856-1919) - a Russian religious philosopher, literary critic, translator, journalist, and writer. The collection of articles "Among Artists", published in 1914, represents a unique overview of Russian cultural life in the pre-war period - an exceptionally fruitful... era in the history of art. As an art critic, philosopher Vasily Rozanov takes on the role - a person uniquely gifted with the ability to look attentively and see deeply, a writer with a unique artistic style, a subtle connoisseur of art, who ironically noted: "I belong to the kind of 'expositors of eternally themselves', which in criticism is like a fish on land and even in a frying pan".
The terrible events of World War I changed the face of the world, including the world of art, the lush pre-war flourishing of which was remarkably subtly - and remarkably foresightedly - captured in the articles of Vasily Rozanov.
