In Russian modernism, the work of writer Vasily Rozanov (1856–1919) presents an understudied case of constructing a worldview based on the study of the parallel history of human physicality and artefacts, which he articulated within the framework of the physical and metaphysical. I argue that Rozanov widened the domain of what was viewed as “compelling visuality” at his time, in line with the subjective synthesising principles of his worldview. He looked in art for the manifestations of that which he considered to be eternal and trans-historical: the mystery of the metaphysical roots of human sexuality.

物理和形而上学的视觉效果：Vasily Rozanov 和历史文物

在俄罗斯现代主义中，作家瓦西里·罗扎诺夫（Vasily Rozanov，1856-1919 年）的作品提出了一个未充分研究的案例，即基于对人类物质性和人工制品的平行历史的研究，他在物理和形而上学的框架内进行了阐述，构建了一种世界观。我认为，根据他的世界观的主观综合原则，罗扎诺夫拓宽了当时被视为“引人注目的视觉”的领域。他在艺术中寻找他认为是永恒和跨历史的表现形式：人类性欲的形而上学根源的奥秘。
