Artist Bio:
The Wanderers were a group of artists in the 19th century in Russia who rebelled against the academic restrictions of the Imperial Academy of Arts. They sought to create art that was more realistic and reflected the social and political issues of their time. The group was formed in 1863 and included prominent artists such as Ivan Kramskoy, Ilya Repin, and Vasily Perov. The Wanderers organized traveling exhibitions to showcase their work throughout Russia, which helped to popularize their realistic style and bring art to a wider audience.
The Wanderers played a significant role in the development of Russian art and are considered one of the most influential art movements in the country's history. Their works often depicted scenes of everyday life, social injustice, and the struggles of the working class, reflecting the group's commitment to portraying the realities of Russian society. The Wanderers' legacy continues to be celebrated today for their contributions to the development of realism in Russian art.
