Egorovo, Riazan Province (now Riazan Oblast) 1862-1930 Moscow
Abram Efimovich Arkhipov
studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture
from 1877 to 1888 with the Itinerant artists V.G. Perov, V.D. Polenov,
and V.E. Makovskii, as well as at the Petersburg Academy of Arts in
1884-1886 with P.R. Chistiakov. Although he lived in Moscow, Arkhipov
made numerous trips, beginning in 1902, to the northern regions of
Russia and to the White Sea coast. In 1891 he became a member of the
Circle of the Itinerants, in 1903 an active member of the Union of
Russian Artists, and in 1924 a member of the Association of Artists of
Revolutionary Russia (AKhRR). In addition, Arkhipov taught at the
Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture from 1894 to 1920
and at the Higher Art and Technical Studios (Vkhutemas) in 1922-1924.
During the post-Revolution years, Arkhipov was acknowledged as one of
the prominent representatives of the older generation of Russian artists
and as a follower of the realist traditions in Russian art at the end of
the nineteenth century.
