Concerning a Monistic Conception of Goncharov's Art

Abstract

One of the most essential tasks in the scholarly analysis of a writer's artistic corpus consists in clarifying the links among his images and their mutual interdependence, the inner logic of their concatenation. Only by clarifying such links can we reach an understanding of the essence of a writer's art and only thus can we achieve a monistic view of the writer and reveal the fundamental unity in the many and varied images in his works.
