Among Artists

Vasily Vasilievich Rozanov (1856-1919) - a Russian religious philosopher, literary critic, translator, publicist, and writer. The collection of essays "Among Artists," published in 1914, presents a unique overview of the Russian cultural life of the pre-war period - an exceptionally... fruitful era in the history of art. The philosopher Vasily Rozanov takes on the role of an art critic - a man remarkably gifted in the ability to watch attentively and see deeply, a writer with a unique artistic style, a subtle connoisseur of art, who ironically remarked: "I belong to that breed of 'explanators of the eternal self,' which in criticism is like a fish on land and even on a frying pan."
The ominous events of World War I changed the face of the world, including the world of art, the flourishing pre-war bloom of which was astonishingly finely - and remarkably presciently - captured in the articles of Vasily Rozanov.
