Victor Vasnetsov
Victor Vasnetsov is the builder and architect of the Russian Orthodox Church at the Abramtsevo artists’ colony, which is the model for The Dream Religion. He is the son of a clergyman and attended seminary before enrolling in the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts at the age of nineteen. He becomes part of the Abramtsevo Circle, a collection of artists involved in the revival of Russian tradition.
Vasnetsov’s church is a dream or vision based on the great old Russian Orthodox cathedrals. It is also the church of an art community, which for me is a place I dream of living. The idea of a community bound in purpose and a common faith is a place where it may be possible to find a symbiosis through a common morality and ideal. This is all part of the Dream Religion.
