Abstract

AbstractThis article analyzes the relationship of Peredvizhniki (the Itinerants or Wanderers), a prominent group of Russian artists that was active between the 1860s and 1890s, with state institutions, in particular the Imperial Academy of Arts and the Court. The author chooses not to focus on the aesthetic qualities of their art but rather on the cultural environment in which they lived, their socioeconomic standing, and the marketability of their production. He also addresses such questions as artistic freedom, the peculiarities of the Itinerants’ exhibition policies and communication practices with collectors and buyers.
