Wanderers [Itinerants; Rus. Peredvizhniki].

Russian exhibiting society, active 1870–1923. It takes its name from Tovarishchestvo Peredvizhnykh Khudozhestvennykh Vystavok: ‘Association of travelling art exhibitions’. The Association grew from the earlier Artists’ Cooperative Society (Artel’ Khudozhnikov) founded in 1863 by a group of 14 artists, headed by Ivan Kramskoy, who had broken away from the Academy of Art, St Petersburg, in protest against its traditional style and subject-matter, wanting instead to focus on Russian art. In 1870, on the initiative of Kramskoy, Grigory Myasoyedov, Vasily Perov and Nikolay Ge, an association was founded aiming to take art to the people by means of travelling exhibitions, the first of which took place in November 1871 in the Academy of Arts, St Petersburg. In 1872 the exhibition moved to Moscow, and exhibitions were held annually from then on in Moscow and St Petersburg as well as in smaller cities. Members of the Association became known as the Wanderers.
