This paper seizes the cause and meaning of American writer Susan
Sontag’s art turning point as research opportunity and gives a depth analysis
to Russian world poet,Nobel Prize winner Joseph Brodsky’s proposal“Beauty
can save the world” and its huge influence to Sontag’s author consciousness
and fine writing.Russian fine arts’ influence to Sontag has to be traced back to
her beloved English writer Virginia Woolf ’s Russian Artistic details behind her
modern aesthetic exploration. The process of close to estranged attitudes of
Woolf and her “Bloomsbury Group”’s Russian art complex plays an indelible
role in Sontag’s process of changing her Style Aesthetics.What is worth specially
mentioning is that,Woolf ’s paying through translating ancient Greek mythology
meeting the introduction of Russian literary theorists excellently enlighten
Sontag to Gnosticism androgynous myth story to capture the thinking source of creating “Camp”Aesthetics,which lay the foundation of her ideological style
for the birth of her unique aesthetic thinking style of co-artistic creation.
Although she always agrees with Woolf ’s belief in“form is tasteful only when
it is meaningful”,when dis-cussing painting works, Sontag becomes very firm
in insisting on“the joy of image”.Drawing on the valuable resources of the
theoretical his-tory of Russian and Soviet literary criticism in the 20th century
and combing with the review of Chairman Mao Zedong’s literary heritage and
Theoretical Heritage,this paper points out that the personality and artistic
image thinking of Herapchenko have influenced the tendency of new realism
in Sontag’s way of thinking,foucusing on the spirit of dia-lectics put forward
by Chairman Mao Zedong and the independent ex-ploration of the truth
of foreign literature and art,we are easy to find out Sontag’s writing persona
relays on Russification of image aesthetics of painting art gives her image
esthetics an error.
