He is highly regarded in Russia but little known here in the US. The famous art critic Clement Greenberg trashed Repin as an example of kitsch art when Greenberg was promoting New York's abstract expressionists. It later turned out that the painting Greenberg derided was not even by Repin-- he had his facts all wrong.
