95 years ago today, on September 29, 1930 (August 8, 1930, the lunar calendar), Russian painter Repin passed away. Self-portrait Ilya Yefimovich Repin (Ø­ §Ý§î§ñ Ø­ §Ú§Þ§à§Ó§Ú§é§²§Ö§á§Ú§ß, August 5, 1844-September 29, 1930) was a Russian painter and the main representative figure of the traveling exhibition painting school. Repin was born into a military family in Kharkiv Oblast on the border between Ukraine and Russia. He moved to St. Petersburg in 1863 and entered the Petersburg Painting School. In 1864, he transferred to the Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts. During his studies, Repin completed a series of portraits, including "The Portrait of Vasily Repin","The Portrait of Hloboshin","The Portrait of Shevdrova" and "The Slavic Composer" group portraits, and created an oil painting "Preparing for the Examination" filled with vivid humor. From the 1870s, Repin formed his own painting style with democratic themes and realism. He wrote: "Now the farmers are appraisers, so they must express their interests..." He created a highly expressive and shocking genre painting "Volga River Tucker". His other work at the time,"The Resurrection of Yaru's Daughter", won the Grand Gold Medal. From 1873 to 1876, Repin received a subsidy from the Academy of Fine Arts and lived in Italy and France. He became familiar with various genres of art in ancient and contemporary Western Europe. During this period, he created many customs and landscape paintings such as "The Cafe of Paris","Satquot in the Crystal Palace","The Stone Horse of Vail","The Boulder of Paris","The Avenue Montmartre in Paris" and "The Fishing Girl". After returning to China, Repin returned to his hometown and created works such as "The Shy Peasant","The Peasant with Sharp Eyes", and "The Chief Priest". In 1878, Repin participated in the "Traveling Exhibition Artists Association", and since then he devoted himself to peasant themed creations, such as "At the Township Government" and "Gala", especially showing that farmers were recruited to participate in the Russian-Turkish War at that time, such as "Return","Return to China, Heroes of the Past War" and "Sending New Soldiers into the Army". His large-scale works "Prayer in the Oak Forest" and "Prayer in the Kursk Region" made full use of external light expression. Express the bright sunshine and various characters with different identities. After 1882, he moved to St. Petersburg, but often traveled at home and abroad, which was the peak period of his creation. However, many of his works describing revolutionaries, which expressed reality and could not be approved by the inspection agencies of the tsarist government and were often removed from exhibitions. These works include "Escort","Propaganda Arrested","Refusal to Confession","Unexpected Return","Rally","Annual Sacrifice at the Tomb of Members of the Paris Commune at the Father Lachaise Cemetery, Paris", etc. Repin also created a large number of portraits during this period, including the critic "Portrait of Stasov", the writer "Portrait of Pishemsky", the revolutionary "Portrait of Mosorsky", the surgeon "Portrait of Birogov", the actress "Portrait of Strebetova","Portrait of Baroness Iskukri", etc. At the same time, he created a series of portraits of the famous writer Lev Tolstoy, including "Portrait of Tolstoy","Tolstoy Farmland","Tolstoy Chess","Tolstoy's Work", etc. Repin has also created many large-scale oil paintings on historical themes, such as "Princess Sophia","Ivan the Great Kills the Son" and "The Zabororizhe People Write Reply to the Sultan of Turkey". The Zaboroghe people wrote back to the Sultan of Turkey. Repin was influenced by symbolism in the 1990s, and his painting style also obviously absorbed the external light effect of the Impressionist school. The oil paintings "How Free" and "Gogol Burning Manuscripts" obviously had a symbolism tendency. At that time, Russia was in a revolutionary period, and he also created many works describing the scene at that time, such as "The Red Funeral","Near the Tsar's Gallows","Dispersing the Demonstration","The Demonstration of October 17, 1905", etc. After the October Revolution, the suburbs of St. Petersburg where Repin lived were transferred to Finland. Although Lenin and Voroshilov cordially invited him to return to China, he was in his later years, frail and ill, and eventually died in Finland.
