2. Artist-storyteller

Almost every Russian person knows Bilibin's illustrations from books of fairy tales that were read to him at night as a child. And meanwhile, these illustrations are more than a hundred years old. From 1899 to 1902, Ivan Bilibin created a series of six "Tales" published by the Expedition for the Procurement of State Papers. After that, Pushkin's tales about Tsar Saltan and the Golden Cockerel and the slightly less well-known epic "Volga" with illustrations by Bilibin are published in the same publishing house.

It is interesting that the most famous illustration to "The Tale of Tsar Saltan ..." with a barrel floating on the sea resembles the famous "Big Wave" by Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. The process of performing I. Ya. Bilibin's graphic drawing was similar to the work of an engraver. First, he sketched a sketch on paper, refined the composition in all details on tracing paper, and then translated it onto whatman paper. After that, with a kolinsky brush with a cut end, likening it to a cutter, he drew a clear wire outline in ink over a pencil drawing.

Bilibin's books look like painted boxes. It was this artist who first saw a children's book as an integral artistically designed organism. His books are like old manuscripts, because the artist thinks over not only drawings, but also all decorative elements: fonts, ornaments, decorations, initials and everything else.

Few people know that Bilibin even worked in the field of advertising. Where the Polustrovo mineral water plant in St. Petersburg is now located, there used to be the New Bavaria Joint Stock Company. It was for this plant that Ivan Yakovlevich Bilibin created advertising posters and pictures. In addition, the artist created posters, addresses, sketches postage stamps (in particular, a series dedicated to the 300th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty) and about 30 postcards for the Community of St. Eugenia Later, Bilibin drew postcards for Russian publishers in Paris and Berlin.

4. Double-headed eagle

The same double-headed eagle, which is now used on the coins of the Bank of Russia, belongs to the brush of Bilibin, an expert on heraldry. The artist painted it after the February Revolution as an emblem for the Provisional Government. The bird looks fabulous, not sinister, because it was drawn by a famous illustrator of Russian epics and fairy tales. The double-headed eagle is depicted without royal regalia and with lowered wings, the inscription “Russian Provisional Government” and a characteristic “forest” Bilibino ornament are made around the circle. Bilibin transferred copyright to the coat of arms and some other graphic developments to the Goznak factory.

5. Theater artist

Bilibin's first experience in scenography was the design of Rimsky-Korsakov's opera The Snow Maiden for the National Theater in Prague. His next works are sketches of costumes and scenery for the operas The Golden Cockerel, Sadko, Ruslan and Lyudmila, Boris Godunov and others. And after emigrating to Paris in 1925, Bilibin continued to work with theaters: he prepared brilliant scenery for productions of Russian operas, designed Stravinsky's ballet The Firebird in Buenos Aires and operas in Brno and Prague. Bilibin made extensive use of old prints, popular prints, and folk art. Bilibin was a true connoisseur of ancient costumes of different peoples, he was interested in embroidery, braid, weaving techniques, ornaments and everything that created the national color of the people.

6. The artist and the church

Bilibin also has works related to church painting. In it, he remains himself, retains his individual style. After leaving St. Petersburg, Bilibin lived for some time in Cairo and actively participated in the design of the Russian house church in the premises of a clinic arranged by Russian doctors. According to his project, the iconostasis of this temple was built. And after 1925, when the artist moved to Paris, he became a founding member of the Icon society. As an illustrator, he created the cover of the charter and the design for the society's seal. There is his trace in Prague - he made sketches of frescoes and an iconostasis for a Russian church at the Olshansky cemetery in the Czech capital.

7. Return to the Motherland and death

Over time, Bilibin reconciled with the Soviet regime. He draws up the Soviet embassy in Paris, and then, in 1936, returns by boat to his native Leningrad. Teaching is added to his professions: he teaches at the All-Russian Academy of Arts - the oldest and largest art educational institution in Russia. In September 1941, at the age of 66, the artist refused the offer of the People's Commissar of Education to evacuate from the besieged Leningrad to the rear. “They don’t run from a besieged fortress, they defend it,” he wrote in response. Under fascist shelling and bombing, the artist creates patriotic postcards for the front, writes articles and appeals to heroic defenders Leningrad. Bilibin died of starvation in the very first blockade winter and was buried in a mass grave of professors of the Academy of Arts near the Smolensk cemetery.

Project participants - students of 5 "B" class

We got acquainted with the facts of the biography and features of the work of some artists - illustrators of Russian folk tales and found outwhy did the authors not just draw explanations for the text of fairy tales, but create beautiful independent works that enriched Russian and world art?

Illustration is not just an addition to the text, but piece of art of his time.

Illustrators - these are artists who paint illustrations for books, helping to understand the content of the work, to better imagine the characters, their appearance, characters, actions, the environment in which they live.

“A fairy tale is a great spiritual culture of the people, which we collect bit by bit, and through a fairy tale, a thousand-year history of the people is revealed to us.”

Viktor Vasnetsov was born in the Vyatka region on May 15 (according to the new style), 1848, in the family of a village priest.

Father, Mikhail Vasilievich, himself a well-educated person, tried to give children a versatile education, to develop inquisitiveness and observation in them. The family read scientific journals, drew, painted with watercolors. Here the early artistic inclinations of the future painter received their first recognition. The motives of his first full-scale sketches were rural landscapes, scenes from village life.

The village of Ryabovo, where the Vasnetsovs lived, stood on the picturesque Ryabovka River, bordered by dense coniferous forests, from the hilly banks of which horizons stretched for tens of miles to the Ural Mountains. The Vyatka region with its harsh and picturesque nature, a peculiar way of life that preserves the foundations of the distant past, with ancient folk beliefs, old songs, fairy tales and epics became the basis for the formation of Vasnetsov's early life impressions.

Victor spent nine years in Vyatka, but did not feel the need to serve the church. He devotes more and more time to drawing. On Sundays he goes to the city, to the market, draws "types", studies characters. His seminar notebooks are full of sketches from memory.

In August 1867, with the blessing of his father, Viktor Vasnetsov left the seminary a year and a half before graduation, and with the money raised from the lottery went to St. Petersburg to enter the Academy of Arts.

Viktor Mikhailovich Vasnetsov lived a long, beautiful and difficult life. One of the most famous Russian artists of the 19th century, he knew enthusiastic admiration and coldly restrained, to the point of complete rejection, attitude towards his work, huge success and sharp, bordering on blasphemy, criticism of his work.

He was called "a true hero of Russian painting." This definition was born not only due to the figurative connection with the "heroic" theme of his painting, but due to the awareness by contemporaries of the significance of the artist's personality, understanding of his role as the founder of a new, "national" trend in Russian art. The significance of Vasnetsov's work is not only that he was the first among painters to turn to epic fairy tales. Although it was this Vasnetsov - the author of Alyonushka, Bogatyrs, Ivan Tsarevich on the Gray Wolf, widely reproduced for many years in huge editions in school textbooks, on calendars, rugs, candy and cigarette boxes - entered the mass consciousness , obscuring the true face of the artist.

Ivan Alexandrovich Kuznetsov (1908 - 1987)

Ivan Aleksandrovich Kuznetsov was born on May 23, 1908 in the village of Monetovo, Vokhomsky District.Kostroma region . He was the twelfth child in the family. The boy passionately loved the spruce forests of his region, watched with interest every forest animal. And on any piece of paper he found, on any wall, he tried to depict what lived in his memory and imagination. Once he painted a dull fence in front of his hut with soldiers. For this, his father beat him hard and forced him to paint over all the drawings with thick gray paint.

After graduating from the school of peasant youth in the village of Vokhma, Ivan decided to fulfill his most cherished dream - to leave to study further. He is hired as a timekeeper at a timber rafting along the Vetluga and the Volga. The money earned made it possible to get to Leningrad, but there it was not possible to enter anywhere. Then he came to Moscow. In the capital he wandered, painted "from life" in beer houses and doss houses. A journalist from Krestyanskaya Gazeta, whom he accidentally met, saw his drawings and decided to attach the guy to his newspaper. At first, Ivan only pasted stamps and wrote the addresses of subscribers in the forwarding department of the newspaper on parcels. He accompanies some notes with his drawings. They like the editors, and she will identify a capable young man in an art school.

After graduating from art school, Ivan Kuznetsov studied at the Polygraphic Institute from 1930 to 1935.

In the thirties, the first books appeared, designed by Ivan Kuznetsov. As a rule, these are modestly published books for children. Among them are “My friend and I”, “What about you?” S. Mikhalkov, "Dog and Cat" O. Tumanyan. These and other editions were issued by Detgiz. Kuznetsov came to this publishing house at the time of its formation. It was Detgiz (now the publishing house "Children's Literature") that published most of the books with his illustrations.

During the war years, I. Kuznetsov, dismissed from the army due to illness, was sent to tank factories in Chelyabinsk and Nizhny Tagil, where he worked as an artist-designer on assignment from the Ministry of Tank Industry.

And then his painstaking work on book illustration continued. The greatest love of the artist Ivan Kuznetsov, one might say, his fate, was wonderful world fairy tales. The appeal to the fairy tale was largely facilitated by a close acquaintance while working at Cricket with his older namesake Konstantin Vasilyevich Kuznetsov.

In books with drawings by Ivan Kuznetsov there are fairy tales of different peoples. Preparing for work, he collects a huge ethnographic material, carefully studies nature, life, national characteristics fairy tale heroes. And, of course, the Russian fairy tale was especially close to him. Here, images of nature and signs of everyday life, well known to him from an early age, came to life. Thin books with his drawings, such as Geese-Swans, Sister Alyonushka and Brother Ivanushka, Goat - glass eyes, golden horns, are remembered by many people of the older generation from childhood.

Since the fifties, collections of fairy tales illustrated by the artist have been published - "Mountain of Gems", "Russian Folk Tales", "Magic Ring", "Wonderful Mill", "Our Tales". Later, his famous "Swan" appears, where the heroine of each fairy tale is a kind, hardworking and quick-witted Russian woman.

Among the books designed by Ivan Kuznetsov there are both poetry and prose. With his drawings came the works of such authors as E. Blaginina and S. Shchipachev, K. Paustovsky and A. Platonov, L. Tolstoy and M. Gorky. He turned to the fairy-tale theme, especially beloved by the artist, in his many well-known engravings on linoleum. These are Alyonushka, Wonderful Carpet, Flying Ship, Firebird, Thin Mind. Throughout the post-war years, the artist traveled a lot around Russia. He visited the Kama, the Oka, Baikal, in his homeland in Vokhma. He rented a room in Saltykovka near Moscow and lived and worked there for a long time. In the spring of 1966 he managed to visit Italy. From everywhere he brought his wonderful drawings and watercolors, mainly landscapes.

The original works of Ivan Kuznetsov are in different art museums, including in the museum in his homeland in Vokhma, in the Shushenskaya art gallery, in the museum fine arts city ​​of Irbit. Many original works and books illustrated by him are kept in the family of the artist, his daughter. IN last years Ivan Alexandrovich was seriously ill during his life. May 1, 1987 he died. Everything said by this artist, be it book graphics, watercolors, drawings and linocuts, is imbued with warmth and kindness. His work is close and understandable to everyone - both children and adults.

Ivan Yakovlevich Bilibin (1876 - 1942)

Ivan Yakovlevich Bilibin was born in the village of Tarkhovka, St. Petersburg province. It was his illustrations that helped to create a children's book elegant and accessible.

Focusing on the traditions of ancient Russian and folk art, Bilibin developed a logically consistent system of graphic techniques, which remained at the core throughout his entire work. This graphic system, as well as the originality of the interpretation of epic and fairy-tale images inherent in Bilibin, made it possible to speak of a special Bilibin style.

It all started with an exhibition of Moscow artists in 1899 in St. Petersburg, where I. Bilibin saw a painting by V. Vasnetsov "Bogatyrs". Brought up in a St. Petersburg environment, far from hobbies for the national past, the artist unexpectedly showed interest in Russian antiquity, fairy tales, and folk art. In the summer of the same year, Bilibin leaves for the village of Yegny, Tver province, in order to see the dense forests, transparent rivers, wooden huts, hear fairy tales and songs. Pictures from the exhibition of Viktor Vasnetsov come to life in the imagination. Artist Ivan Bilibin begins illustrating Russian folk tales from Afanasiev's collection. And in the autumn of the same year, the Expedition for the Procurement of State Papers (Goznak) began to publish a series of fairy tales with Bilibino drawings.

For 4 years, Bilibin illustrated seven fairy tales: “Sister Alyonushka and Brother Ivanushka”, “White Duck”, “The Frog Princess”, “Marya Morevna”, “The Tale of Ivan Tsarevich, the Firebird and the Gray Wolf” , "Feather of Finist Yasna-Falcon", "Vasilisa the Beautiful". Editions of fairy tales belong to the type of small large-format books-notebooks. From the very beginning, Bilibin's books were distinguished by patterned drawings and bright decorativeness. The artist did not create individual illustrations, he strove for an ensemble: he drew a cover, illustrations, ornamental decorations, a font - he stylized everything like an old manuscript.

Bilibin showed himself to be an artist of the book, he did not limit himself to performing individual illustrations, but strove for integrity.

(1893-1976)

Vladimir Alekseevich Milashevsky was born in 1893. He spent his childhood and youth on the banks of the great Russian river Volga, in Saratov, a city rich in artistic traditions.

Milashevsky's love for drawing manifested itself very early, almost from childhood. Being a realist, he attended the Bogolyubov Drawing School in the evenings. In 1913 he entered the architectural department of the Higher Art School at the Academy of Arts. Arriving to study in St. Petersburg, Milashevsky plunged headlong into the artistic life of the capital.

Milashevsky did a lot in the field of artistic design of an adult book, and his illustrations for the works of classics and modern Soviet writers occupy an honorable place in the history of Soviet graphics and books. But even more significant is his contribution to illustrating books for children and youth.

He was one of the first and very few illustrators of these books, one might say - he stood at the cradle of Soviet books for teenagers and youth.

Literature faced the great and responsible task of giving this reader a good new Soviet book. No less difficult tasks were faced by the artists who had to illustrate these books. I had to re-develop the principles of artistic design of books for schoolchildren, starting essentially from scratch. In those years, Soviet teenagers needed not a gift book, but a mass book. It was supposed to be cheap, the drawings in it - understandable and intelligible and at the same time easily reproduced, given large circulations and modest printing possibilities of the first post-revolutionary years. This required a drawing not in tone, but “on a stroke”; it had to be expressive, clear and simple in execution.

The first illustrations for fairy tales were made by Milashevsky in 1948. He made about 25 page and half-page illustrations for Pushkin's fairy tales, headpieces and endings.

People usually look at pictures, but this word does not fit Milashevsky's illustrations: they are not looked at, but examined, and they can be examined many times, each time revealing more and more new details. His creativity is amazing! No matter how much he draws, everything seems small to him, he wants to add some more interesting detail.

Milashevsky's illustrations are rooted in the very depths folk life. That is why they are so believable, so convincing. It seems that the characters depicted by him have a portrait resemblance, that all of them - even the merman or the devil - were exactly the same and only the same as the artist painted them. These are not abstract fabulous faces, not masks, like some artists - no! - these are the exact ethnic types of heroes of fairy tales, Russians and people of other nationalities, in all their diversity.

Milashevsky's illustrations are a whole encyclopedia from which you can get absolutely accurate information. about the old architecture of various regions of Russia and other peoples in every detail, up to the patterns of wooden carvings and paintings on window frames, about folk clothes, about household items and furnishings, about toys and utensils, about a thousand of the most diverse things.

Depicting high examples of folk art, the artist, by his own admission, had in mind not only to make his drawings more interesting, but also to instill in the reader, especially the little one, artistic taste and love for real art. Now much is said about the importance of the aesthetic education of young people - Milashevsky's illustrations are a practical step in this direction.

Milashevsky's illustrations are characterized by some kind of inner warmth and gentle humor inherent in a folk tale. Milashevsky's works were shown at almost all major graphic exhibitions in our country and abroad, they are in the State Tretyakov Gallery, in the Russian Museum in Leningrad, State Museum fine arts them. Pushkin, in the museums of A. S. Pushkin in Moscow and Leningrad and many other Soviet and foreign museums.

Surprisingly, the children's illustration of Russia (USSR)
there is an exact year of birth - 1925. This year
a department of children's literature was created in the Leningrad
State Publishing House (GIZ). Before this book
with illustrations specially for children were not published.

Who are they - the authors of the most beloved, beautiful illustrations that have been remembered since childhood and our children like?
Learn, remember, share your opinion.
The article was written using the stories of the parents of today's kids and book reviews on the websites of online bookstores.

Vladimir Grigorievich Suteev(1903-1993, Moscow) - children's writer, illustrator and animator. His kind, funny pictures look like frames from a cartoon. Suteev's drawings have turned many fairy tales into masterpieces.
So, for example, not all parents consider the works of Korney Chukovsky to be a necessary classic, and most of them do not consider his works to be talented. But Chukovsky's fairy tales, illustrated by Vladimir Suteev, I want to hold in my hands and read to children.

Boris Alexandrovich Dekhterev(1908-1993, Kaluga, Moscow) - People's Artist, Soviet graphic artist (it is believed that the "School of Dekhterev" determined the development book graphics countries), illustrator. He worked mainly in the technique of pencil drawing and watercolor. The good old illustrations by Dekhterev are a whole era in the history of children's illustration, many illustrators call Boris Aleksandrovich their teacher.

Dekhterev illustrated children's fairy tales by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, Vasily Zhukovsky, Charles Perrault, Hans Christian Andersen. As well as works by other Russian writers and world classics, such as Mikhail Lermontov, Ivan Turgenev, William Shakespeare.

Nikolay Alexandrovich Ustinov(1937, Moscow), Dekhterev was his teacher, and many modern illustrators already consider Ustinov their teacher.

Nikolai Ustinov - People's Artist, illustrator. Tales with his illustrations were published not only in Russia (USSR), but also in Japan, Germany, Korea and other countries. Almost three hundred works were illustrated by the famous artist for publishing houses: "Children's Literature", "Kid", "Artist of the RSFSR", publishing houses of Tula, Voronezh, St. Petersburg and others.

Yuri Alekseevich Vasnetsov(1900-1973, Vyatka, Leningrad) - people's artist and illustrator. All kids like his pictures for folk songs, nursery rhymes and jokes (Ladushki, Rainbow-arc). He illustrated folk tales, tales of Leo Tolstoy, Pyotr Ershov, Samuil Marshak, Vitaly Bianchi and other classics of Russian literature.

When buying children's books with illustrations by Yuri Vasnetsov, make sure that the drawings are clear and moderately bright. Using the name of a famous artist, recently books are often published with fuzzy scans of drawings or with increased unnatural brightness and contrast, and this is not very good for children's eyes.

Leonid Viktorovich Vladimirsky(born in 1920, Moscow) is a Russian graphic artist and the most popular illustrator of books about A. N. Tolstoy's Pinocchio and A. M. Volkov's Emerald City, thanks to which he became widely known in Russia and the countries of the former USSR. I painted with watercolors. It is Vladimirsky's illustrations that many recognize as classic for Volkov's works. Well, Pinocchio in the form in which he has been known and loved by several generations of children is undoubtedly his merit.

In fairness, it should be noted that Chizhikov's illustrations are rather specific and cartoonish. Therefore, not all parents prefer to buy books with his illustrations, if there is an alternative. For example, the books "The Wizard of the Emerald City" are preferred by many with illustrations by Leonid Vladimirsky.

Nikolai Ernestovich Radlov(1889-1942, St. Petersburg) - Russian artist, art critic, teacher. Illustrator of children's books: Agnia Barto, Samuil Marshak, Sergei Mikhalkov, Alexander Volkov.
