The Society for Circulating Art Exhibition (1870 – 1923), a major democratic association of Russian realist artists, united many progressive-minded personalities of the time. Members of the Society organized annual exhibitions in St. Petersburg and Moscow, which later moved to the provincial towns. The popularization of painting is one of the greatest services to Russian art rendered by the Itinerants (Peredvizhniki), as these artists came to be called. They received major financial support from the Tretyakov brothers whose art collection became the base for the Tretyakov Museum that they opened and from the major Russian art Critic of the period, Vladimir Stasov.

The introductory essay by Andrei Lebedev, a prominent Soviet art historian, describes the creative work of the Itinerants as one of the most brilliant chapters in the history of Russian art. The books includes 162 Plates, 115 of them in full color, reproduce some of the best-known works of Kramskoi, Repin, Surikov, Kuinji, Polenov, Yaroshenko, and forty additional famous painters.

It is a “must” for the library of artists desiring an overview and a roadmap for further study and exploration of the revolution in Russian art that began with Czar Alexander the Second’s removal of serfdom in 1861 which in turn freed the artists who were historically trained and controlled by the Czars.
