About the book: 1923 / The publication is compiled from a number of articles by M. Kuzmin that appeared in print in the period 1908–1921, namely those which, according to the author, “have general and theoretical significance. All of them were written “on occasion” and the point of departure for all was some specific phenomenon in the field of art. Every theoretical consideration prompted by an obvious fact also pursues some practical, applied goal, interest in which, perhaps, has not yet waned. Moreover, the significance of theoretical conclusions does not always correspond to the importance and magnitude of the phenomenon that caused them.” http://ruslit.traumlibrary.net
