Among the artists. Rozanov V.V.

Vasily Vasilievich Rozanov (1856–1919) - Russian religious philosopher, literary critic, translator, publicist and writer. The collection of articles “among artists”, published in 1914, is a unique overview of the Russian cultural life of the pre -war period - an extremely fruitful era in the history of art.

The role of artistic critic is the philosopher Vasily Rozanov - a man who is extremely gifted with the ability to carefully watch and deeply see, a writer with a unique artistic style, a subtle connoisseur of art, ironically remarked: “I belong to that breed of“ the presenter forever himself ”, which in criticism is like a fish on earth and even in a pan.” The formidable events of the First World War changed the face of the world, including the world of art, whose magnificent pre -war flowering is surprisingly subtle - and amazingly visionary - they captured the articles of Vasily Rozanov.
