Ioganson, Boris (Vladimirovich)
(b Moscow, 25 July 1893; d Moscow, 25 Feb 1973). Russian painter. He was trained in the 19th-century Realist tradition of the WANDERERS and became one of the most important artists in establishing SOCIALIST REALISM as the official art of the USSR. He studied with Pyotr Kelin in 1912 and at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture (1913–18) under Nikolay Kasatkin (1859–1930), Abram Arkhipov and Konstantin Korovin. He then served in the Red Army and worked as a stage designer in the province of Kherson from 1919 to 1922. In 1922 he participated in the 47th Wanderers’ exhibition in Moscow and became one of the members of AKhRR (the Association of Artists of Revolutionary Russia), promoting Realism and attacking the abstract experiments of the avant-garde. Ioganson argued that ‘the Russian painter is an innovator...not an innovator of form divorced from content, but a true innovator, reflecting the new tendencies of reality’.
