In my opinion, best illustrator there are no fairy tales than V. M. Vasnetsov, well, perhaps I. Bilibin. The next page is about him.
Viktor Mikhailovich Vasnetsov (1848-1926) - one of the first Russian artists who pushed the boundaries of conventional genres and showed fairy world, illuminated by the poetic fantasy of the people. Vasnetsov was one of the first Russian artists to turn to recreating images folk tales and epics in painting. His fate developed as if he was destined in advance to be the singer of a Russian fairy tale. He spent his childhood in the harsh, picturesque Vyatka region. The talkative cook, who tells children fairy tales and stories of wandering people who have seen a lot in their lifetime, according to the artist himself, “made me fall in love with the past and present of my people for the rest of my life, and largely determined my path.” Already at the beginning of his work, he created a number of illustrations for “The Little Humpbacked Horse” and “The Firebird”. In addition to fairy tales, he has works dedicated to the heroic images of epics. "The Knight at the Crossroads", "Three Heroes". The famous painting "Ivan Tsarevich on gray wolf" written on the plot of one of the most famous and widespread fairy tales, reproduced in popular prints of the 18th century.
"Princess Nesmeyana"
In the royal chambers, in the princely palaces, in the high tower, Princess Nesmeyana adorned herself. What a life she had, what freedom, what luxury! There is a lot of everything, everything the soul wants; but she never smiled, never laughed, as if her heart was not happy about anything.
There are merchants, boyars, foreign guests, storytellers, musicians, dancers, jesters and buffoons. They sing, clown around, laugh, strum the harp to their heart's content. And at the foot of the high tower there are ordinary people, also crowding, laughing, shouting. And all this buffoonery is for the princess, the only royal daughter. She sits sadly on a carved white throne by the window. “There is a lot of everything, there is everything that the soul wants; but she never smiled, never laughed, as if her heart was not happy about anything.” And, to be honest, what is there to be happy about if no one ever has a heart-to-heart talk with her, no one with a pure heart will approach her?! Everyone around is just making noise, aiming for suitors, trying to present themselves in the best light, but no one cares about the princess herself. That is why she is not laughing, until the one and only one, the long-awaited one, comes, who will give her a smile instead of buffoonery, warmth instead of indifference. And he will come, for sure, because that’s what the fairy tale says.
"Koschei the Immortal and the Beloved Beauty"
As soon as he managed to leave the yard, Koschey entered the yard: “Ah! - speaks. - It smells like Russian braid; I know you had Ivan Tsarevich.” - “What are you, Koschey the Immortal! Where can I see Ivan Tsarevich? He remained in dense forests, in sticky mud, and is still eaten by animals!” They began to have dinner; at dinner, the Beloved Beauty asks: “Tell me, Koschey the Immortal: where is your death?” - “What do you need, stupid woman? My death is tied up in a broom.”
Early in the morning Koschey leaves for the war. Ivan Tsarevich came to the Beloved Beauty, took that broom and brightly gilded it with pure gold. As soon as the prince had time to leave, Koschey entered the courtyard: “Ah! - speaks. - It smells like Russian braid; I know you had Ivan Tsarevich.” - “What are you, Koschey the Immortal! You flew around Rus' yourself, picked up the Russian spirit - you smell of the Russian spirit. Where can I see Ivan Tsarevich? He remained in dense forests, in sticky mud, and is still eaten by animals!” It's time for dinner; Beloved Beauty herself sat down on a chair, and sat him on a bench; he looked under the threshold - there was a gilded broom. “What is this?” - “Ah, Koschey the Immortal! You see for yourself how much I honor you; If you are dear to me, so is your death.” - “Stupid woman! Then I was joking, my death is sealed up in the oak meadow.”
"The Frog Princess"
Look at the reproduction of V. Vasnetsov’s painting “Feast” (p. 19 of the textbook).
If possible, it would be interesting to compare this picture with the illustration made for this episode of the fairy tale by I. Bilibin.
Framed illustrations by Bilibin floral ornament very accurately reflect the content of the tale. We can see the details of the heroes’ costumes, the expressions on the faces of the surprised boyars, and even the pattern on the kokoshniks of the daughters-in-law. Vasnetsov in his picture does not dwell on the details, but perfectly conveys the movement of Vasilisa, the enthusiasm of the musicians, who seem to be stamping their feet to the beat of a dance song. We can guess that the music to which Vasilisa dances is cheerful and mischievous. When you look at this picture you feel the character of a fairy tale.
- Why do people call Vasilisa the Wise? What qualities do the people glorify in the image of Vasilisa?
The painting by V. Vasnetsov creates a generalized image of a beautiful princess: next to her are guslars and people. I. Bilibin’s illustration specifically depicts an episode of the feast: in the center is Vasilisa the Wise, at the wave of whose hand miracles occur; There are people around, amazed by what is happening. Possible here different types works:
1. Describe verbally what you see in each of the paintings (characters, setting, appearance surrounding people, their mood, prevailing colors).
2. Compare the image of Vasilisa the Wise by Vasnetsov and Bilibin. Is this what you imagine main character fairy tales?
"Magic carpet"
The imagination of the people created a fairy tale about a flying carpet. You see two paintings by Vasnetsov with this name - early and late. In the first of them, a proud young man looks from a flying carpet at the expanses of Russian land spreading below. The discreet northern nature served as the artist’s backdrop for the painting. Rivers and lakes sparkle, the forest stands like a dark wall, and huge birds accompany the carpet. The Firebird caught by the hero burns with a bright fire in a cage. This painting tells about the wisdom, strength, and dexterity of the people. The second picture is lighter and more colorful. The bright rays of the sunset, cutting through the veil of clouds, became a successful background to the picture. Nature through the clouds is seen as bright, lush greenery, perhaps because the heroes descended closer to it. And the girl and the boy in sparkling clothes embroidered with gold do not seem like strangers on the canvas. Their young faces are beautiful, they gently leaned towards each other, personifying fidelity and love.
Alyonushka, Snegurochka, Elena the Beautiful - these fictional images and portraits of women close to Vasnetsov “in spirit” - Elena Prakhova, Vera and Elizaveta Grigorievna Mamontov, portraits of his wife, daughter, niece from different sides highlight what is called Russian female soul, which becomes for Vasnetsov the personification of the Motherland, Russia.
Alkonost. In Byzantine and Russian medieval legends, a wonderful bird, a resident of Iria - the Slavic paradise. Her face is feminine, her body is birdlike, her voice is sweet, like love itself. Hearing Alkonost’s singing can forget everything in the world with delight, but there is no evil from her, unlike Sirin.
Alkonost lays eggs at the edge of the sea, but does not hatch them, but immerses them in the depths of the sea. At this time there is no wind for seven days. According to ancient Greek myth, Alcyone, Keik's wife, upon learning of the death of her husband, threw herself into the sea and was turned into a bird, named after her alcyone (kingfisher).
She is depicted in popular prints as a half-woman, half-bird with large multi-colored feathers and a girl’s head, overshadowed by a crown and a halo, in which a short inscription is sometimes placed. In addition to wings, Alkonos has hands in which she holds flowers of paradise or a package with an explanatory inscription. She lives in the tree of paradise, on the island of Buyan, together with the bird Sirin, and has a sweet voice, like love itself. When she sings, she doesn’t feel herself. He who hears her wonderful singing will forget everything in the world. With her songs she consoles and elevates future joy. This is the bird of joy.
But Sirin, the dark bird, dark force, messenger of the ruler underworld. From head to waist Sirin is a woman of incomparable beauty, and from the waist she is a bird. Whoever listens to her voice forgets about everything in the world and dies, and there is no strength to force him not to listen to Sirin’s voice, and death for him at this moment is true bliss. Dahl explained in the famous dictionary this way: “... mythical and church birds owls, or eagle owls, scarecrows; There is popular prints depicting birds of paradise with women's faces and breasts"(V. Dal" Dictionary living Great Russian language"). In Russian spiritual poems, the Sirin, descending from heaven to earth, enchants people with her singing. In Western European legends, the Sirin is the embodiment of an unfortunate soul. This is the bird of sadness.

- Victor Vasnetsov and his illustrations for the fairy tales Ivan Tsarevich and the Gray Wolf Little Humpbacked Horse, Three Heroes.
Ivan Bilibin, who illustrated a lot of folk tales
We also need to remember the artists Boris Zvorykin and Evgeny Rachev.
Russians still attract children folk tales. Who in childhood was not told about the adventures of Kolobok or the stubborn turnip! And then they started fairy tales. And if there were illustrations for them, then the book was reread and considered many times. The artist colorfully designed folk tales Ivan Bilibin, which placed story drawing in a beautiful, ornamented frame.
Inimitable paintings Viktor Vasnetsov Ivan Tsarevich and the Gray Wolf, Alyonushka, inspired by the Russian folk tale Sister Alyonushka and Brother Ivanushka, Kashchei the Immortal.
Among the artists who illustrated the plots of Russian folk tales, three artists can be especially highlighted:
The literary life of any child begins with fairy tales. And first of all, what the baby looks at is the illustrations for fairy tales. The child cannot read letters, but he reads a fairy tale from pictures. Therefore, it is very important which artist illustrates the fairy tale.
Well-known domestic children's illustrators are: Ivan Bilibin (for example, he illustrated the fairy tale The Frog Princess), Viktor Vasnetsov (drew for such wonderful fairy tales as the Little Humpbacked Horse and the Firebird), Yuri Vasnetsov (Teremok).
First of all, I want to remind you of such a person as Ivan Bilibin - he did huge amount illustrations for both folk tales and Pushkin's tales.
Boris Zvorykin was also involved in creating illustrations specifically for fairy tales.
Evgeny Rachv is also an illustrator of fairy tales.
A very famous artist Ivan Bilibin, his illustrations decorated collections of Russian folk tales. The illustrations were drawn for children, half text and half pictures. This made it clearer for the little ones.
And this is one of the illustrations by Ivan Bilibin.
Artists who painted in their paintings different characters fairy tales Ivan Bilibin, for example, painted beautiful paintings. Viktor Vasnetsov also drew fairy tale characters, for example from the fairy tale The Little Humpbacked Horse.
Folk tales are one of my favorite genres folklore. They reflect the life of the people, their traditions and rituals, and usually have an instructive and educational meaning.
Children love folk tales very much. After all, this type of creativity is very easy and accessible for them to understand.
Illustrators made a huge contribution to conveying the plot of the tale to the reader. We imagine many fairy tale heroes exactly as they were seen in the pictures.
Among the famous illustrators should be named
Ivan Bilibina (The Tale of the Golden Cockerel, The Frog Princess, Vasilisa the Beautiful),
Viktor Vasnetsova (Humpbacked Horse, Firebird, Ivan Tsarevich on a gray wolf)
Yuri Vasnetsov (Three Bears, Little Humpbacked Horse).
Evgenia Rachva (created many illustrations for Russian folk tales).
It is necessary to distinguish between artists who painted fairy-tale scenes and artists who painted illustrations for printed publications Russian fairy tales. Of the first, one should name, first of all, Viktor Vasnetsov, who in his work turned specifically to fairy-tale plots - these are Ivan Tsarevich and the Gray Wolf and the Bogatyrs. Vasnetsov also worked on illustrations of books, for example, The Little Humpbacked Horse by Ershov, but this is not exactly a folk tale.
Of the fairy tale illustrators, of course, we should remember Ivan Bilibin, who made the most famous illustrations fairy tales of Pushkin and many folk tales:
And of course we can’t forget the genius fairytale illustration, my favorite artist of this genre, Evgeny Rachev, who illustrated the great sea of folk tales:
I've been keeping it since childhood wonderful books Russian folk tales, the illustrations of which are probably more interesting than the tales themselves. First of all, the luxurious paintings of the Vasnetsov brothers come to mind. I remember reproductions of Viktor Vasnetsov’s paintings Ivan the Tsarevich and the Gray Wolf, which hung on the wall of my great-grandmother’s house, and Knights at the Crossroads, known as the Three Heroes
I still love looking at illustrations for Ivan Bilibin’s fairy tales, and I’m very proud that I have a rare edition of Bilibin’s drawings at home - a large colorful album with sketches and finished illustrations.
Among the works of female artists, I really like the illustrations for fairy tales by Elena Almazova and Inna Anfilofyeva and the magical, precise micro-details in the drawings of Elena Polenova (who, by the way, is the sister of the famous artist Vasily Polenov).
And the drawings for Boris Zvorykin’s fairy tales resemble illustrations for real historical events: the details of costumes, household items are very accurately conveyed...
There are many illustrators of fairy tales and epics. I only remembered my loved ones.
The book The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Knights of Pushkin with illustrations by Boris Zvorykin immediately appeared in my mind’s eye - such a bright ornamental decorativeness, a sensitive Russian harmonious tradition. Few people know that Boris Zvorykin, in addition to book illustration, was also involved in icon painting and was a translator. He was born in Moscow, in Russian Empire 1897, and died in 1942 in Paris, where he emigrated in 1921.
His illustrations cannot be confused with others
Sister also belongs to the same Russian tradition famous painter Vasily Polenova Elena Polenova is a watercolor artist, she was born on November 27, 1850, in St. Petersburg, then women were not allowed to study at universities, but she studied with the best Russian artists: P.P. Chistyakov, I.N. Kramskoy and in Paris with Ch. Chaplin, her illustrations are less decorative, softer

Project on fairy tales “Artists - Illustrators” Prepared by a student of class 3 “B” Mikhailov Fedor
The goal of the project: to find out which artists illustrated Russian folk tales. Objectives: 1. Find out who illustrators are. 2.Find information about artists in the library. 2. Find illustrations for fairy tales in different collections.
ILLUSTRATORS are artists who draw illustrations for books, helping to understand the content of the work, to better imagine the characters, their appearance, characters, actions, and the environment in which the characters live.
Artists - storytellers 1. Ivan Yakovlevich Bilibin (1876-1942) 2. Viktor Mikhailovich Vasnetsov (1881-1926) 3. Yuri Alekseevich Vasnetsov (1900-1973) 4. Evgeniy Mikhailovich Rachev (1906-1997)
Artist Ivan Yakovlevich Bilibin Master of graphics, creator of a special type of illustrated book, “the first professional of the book” - as experts call him.

Ivan Tsarevich on a gray wolf. V.M. Vasnetsov
V.M. Vasnetsov "Alyonushka"
Yuri Alekseevich Vasnetsov illustrated and designed Russian folk tales, songs, and nursery rhymes. He is rightly called the artist of Russian fairy tales. "Three Bears", "Teremok" and many others. Fantastic, fabulous landscapes are based on impressions of real Russian nature. The artist's birds and animals acquire habits that he noticed in reality.
"The Fox and the Hare" "Three Bears"
"Geese Swans" "Cat's House"
Evgeny Mikhailovich Rachev All animals and beasts - the heroes of Rachev’s drawings are “dressed” like people, in human clothes, thereby Rachev shows what kind of fairy tale plot And fairy-tale images hiding real life and real human relationships.
Masha and the Bear" "Cat, Rooster and Fox"
"Kolobok" "Wolf and Fox"
The end The fairy tale brings us joy, Those who know will understand, There is a lot of meaning in the fairy tale, And love walks close there. A fairy tale is a wonderful piggy bank, What you accumulate, you will take, And without a fairy tale in this life, you will certainly be lost.
I took "Flint" with illustrations to my grandchildren Yerko , and brought it back. It seems that real art is done by children's illustrators, but "artists" are idiots for whom society has found something to do where they can do the least harm.
In Real Art, that is, children's illustration, a major event occurred. In the late 1980s, Gennady Spirin left for the USA and became Best of the Best there. He still lives in Princeton, with his family, without learning a word of English. It’s a blessing not to understand what they’re saying.
Well, at the end of the 1980s we had perestroika. And there was even football.
But the time has come for Ukraine - and now there is football there, and Number One. Vladislav Erko. That is, the king has changed.
Why didn't I part with Ogniv? Take a closer look:
(clickable)
This is basically the back of the cover. There are a dozen cats, dogs, horses, birds and fifty people in the picture, but take an interest in the houses. At the top in the right corner is a tower with a figured roof, with a vase on top. There is only one like it in the world, but this is not a repetition, but a development of that architectural concept.
I wouldn't be interested in Yerko. Here is a fragment of my drawing:
The façade ends with a “trumpeting triton” with two serpentine legs. There is a similar detail on Yerko's "Flint" under the word "Erko" - St. Michael slaying Satan.
Someone will say: what kind of artist is Yerko? This is the architect. No! He is an artist in the sense of art that existed before Mannerism. Those artists were interested in the world itself, and it was ignorant of “how” - but today’s Picasse is only interested in the shadow that they cast on this world.
This is page 5 of the book, a soldier is walking along the road. Like Bruegel? No, no. Neither Bruegel, nor de Momper, nor Leytens knew such rocks and branches. This is further. Yerko picked up where they left off. In fact, today Bruegel would have to be called a children's illustrator. But children have nothing to do with it. Just art.
And now let’s look at how figures of “true” art also “paint” Flint:
Joel Stewart
How I hated such drawings in my books as a child! I remember it very well.
Spirina soon 70.
Olga and Andrey Dugin Everything is also taught in Munich. I hope that nothing happened to them, and someday Dugin will still finish Hamlet.
In general, the celebrity workshop has aged noticeably. Robert Ingpen ...
(to "Tom Sawyer", obviously)
(to "Mowgli")
It is interesting to compare Ingpen's "Pinocchio" with Yerko. Ingpen is a realist, everything is found and copied, unlike Vladislav, who strives to discover something new in the world. Yerko is interesting to me, Ingpen is not. The illustrations for Tom Sawyer are too natural, I would say. Too heavy for Mark Twain's light tongue.
Nice drawing, but again the children have nothing to do with it.
The illustrator has aged Sandy Nightingale , Terry Pratchett’s interpretation of which is even immortalized in the stamp:
I will note that I never liked Pratchett’s illustrations because they were colorful. Here she is just a “children’s” artist, only Pratchett is not exactly a children’s reader.
Yvonne Gilbert has aged...
Ivonne Gilbert
If the last picture is the Princess and the Pea, It is an exceptionally brave princess. I definitely wouldn't sleep here because of the altitude.
What about the youth?
John Vernon Lord . Kill yourself if the book is not from the 1930s! But no, a thin fake - 2013. So what, do children appreciate this subtlety?
Illustrations Levy Pinfold definitely have a metaphysically dark undertone. His world is unfriendly:
(Clickable)
Actually, before Juan Wijngaard he is far away. Here's who to scare children:
To lighten the mood, I brought in a random picture about Viking gods from Devianart.
Rhineville
It would seem that there is a sea of children's artists, and it is impossible to embrace the immensity. But the vast majority of them are bright, colorful, and... empty. Not very informative. Let's take another Alice...
Justin Todd
What would I have learned from it when I was 10 years old? Why does the girl have pants that look like gears? But in my 60-year-old Justin Todd I am much more attracted, especially by drawing what is more decent for her:
Exactly the same works Lisbeth Zwerger beautiful with their purity and freshness of color...
But at 10 years old I wouldn’t even look at them.
He released an excellent series of books (“The Biggest Nasties of the Sea”) Kellie Strom . The man knows what is needed to the modern child. Nothing other than the “o” in the surname crossed out obliquely:
His drawings are really what you need. They are bright, informative, and at the same time simplified.
Fortunately, I am spared the need to mention a thousand more artists here. It is in children's illustration that everyone is terribly concerned about copyrights, and everyone (for example - Maggie Knee) with dire warnings I omitted. Let's move on to the joyful stuff. To those who draw so well that they don’t knock down their rights. Nobody can do that anyway.
These are two girly artists. Inga Moore :
You know, I've been looking for a long time big picture on the wall. The second Inga Moore is just that.
She achieved special heights in girlhood. IMHO, Angela Barrett :
And in order to round off the period, as Cyrano de Bergerac put it, j, I will turn to a new rising star - Bagram Ibatoulline , who studied, as you guess, in Moscow, but lives, as you understand, in Pennsylvania:
(Snow Queen, there was such a moment!)
And to the Bulgarian artist Jan (Jassen) Ghiuselev, widely known for his gothic "Alice".
But they say his best illustrations are for “The Queen of Spades”:
What's the use of a book, thought Alice.
– if there are no pictures or conversations in it?
"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"
Surprisingly, children's illustration in Russia (USSR) has exact year birth - 1925. This year, a children's literature department was created at the Leningrad State Publishing House (GIZ). Before this, books with illustrations had not been published specifically for children. Many artists painted pictures based on oral folk art: epics, fairy tales, songs.
Find out, remember, tell your children.
Viktor Mikhailovich Vasnetsov
(1848-1926) –
one of the first Russian artists who
pushed the boundaries of conventional genres and showed
a fairy-tale world illuminated by poetic fantasy
people.
Vasnetsov is one of the first Russian artists
turned to recreating images of folk tales
and epics in painting.
He spent his childhood in the harsh, picturesque Vyatka region. A talkative cook who tells fairy tales to children, the stories of wandering people who have seen a lot in their lifetime, according to the artist himself, “made me fall in love with the past and present of my people for the rest of my life, and in many ways determined my path.” Already at the beginning of his work, he created a number of illustrations for the Little Humpbacked Horse and “The Firebird.” In addition to fairy tales, he has works dedicated to the heroic images of epics. “The Knight at the Crossroads”, “Three Heroes”. The famous painting “Ivan Tsarevich on the Gray Wolf” was written based on the plot of one of the most famous and widespread fairy tales, reproduced in popular prints of the 18th century.
Ivan Yakovlevich Bilibin
(1876-1942, Leningrad)
Russian artist, book illustrator and theater
ral designer. Bilibin illustrated
a large number of fairy tales, including A.S.
Pushkin. Developed his own style - “Bilibinsky”
Graphic representation with respect to tradition
Old Russian and folk art, thoroughly
traced and detailed patterned outline -
drawing, colored with watercolors. Style
Bilibin's style became popular and he began to
imitate.
Fairy tales, epics, images ancient Rus' For many, they have long been inextricably linked with Bilibin’s illustrations.
Vladimir Alekseevich Milashevsky
(1893, Saratov - 1976, Moscow)
He illustrated and designed about 100 books for children and youth. But Milashevsky never belonged to the so-called “children’s” artists. With the same success he illustrated the works of classics of world literature and Soviet writers. It is difficult to list everything he worked on - his creative range is extremely wide.
What is the secret of his success among children and youth? Strictly speaking, there is no secret. He just always followed the rule:Everything needs to be done just as well for children as for adults, and even better.. He never got along with children, didn’t lisp, didn’t imitate children’s drawings, didn’t try to speak to them in some special “childish” language that they supposedly understood. When illustrating a children's book, no matter what it was, he put all of himself into his drawings, was truly carried away by it and captivated young readers. And this is probably why both children and young people love the books illustrated by him so much.
The fabulous colors of Vladimir Milashevsky
Vladimir Grigorievich Suteev
(1903-1993, Moscow)
Children's writer, illustrator and animator. His kind funny pictures look like scenes from a cartoon. Suteev’s drawings turned many fairy tales into masterpieces.
For example, not all parents consider the works of Korney Chukovsky to be necessary classics, and most of them do not consider his works talented. But I want to hold Chukovsky’s fairy tales, illustrated by Vladimir Suteev, in my hands and read them to children.
Boris Aleksandrovich Dekhterev
(1908-1993, Kaluga, Moscow) –
People's artist, Soviet graphic artist, illustrator. He worked primarily in pencil drawing and watercolor techniques. Old good illustrations Dekhterev is a whole era in the history of children's illustration; many illustrators call Boris Alexandrovich their teacher.
Dekhterev illustrated children's fairy tales by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, Vasily Zhukovsky, Charles Perrault, and Hans Christian Andersen. As well as works of other Russian writers and world classics, for example, Mikhail Lermontov, Ivan Turgenev, William Shakespeare.
Nikolai Alexandrovich Ustinov
(b. 1937, Moscow)
his teacher was Dekhterev, and many modern illustrators already consider Ustinov their teacher.
Fairy tales with his illustrations were published not only in Russia (USSR), but also in Japan, Germany, Korea and other countries. Illustrated almost three hundred works famous artist for children's publishing houses of the USSR, worked in the magazine "Murzilka". Ustinov’s illustrations for Russian folk tales “The Three Bears”, “Masha and the Bear”, “Little Fox Sister”, “The Frog Princess”, “Geese-Swans” and many others remain the most beloved for children.
Yuri Alekseevich Vasnetsov
(1900-1973, Vyatka, Leningrad) –
People's artist and illustrator. His
Pictures for folk songs, amusing
All kids like cams and jokes
(Ladushki, Rainbow-arc). He illustrated
folk tales, tales of Leo Tolstoy,
Petra Ershova, Samuil Marshak, Vitaly
Bianchi and other classics of Russian literature.
“I really like to remember my childhood. When I write, draw, I live everything I remember and saw in childhood,” said Yuri Alekseevich Vasnetsov.
When buying children's books with illustrations by Yuri Vasnetsov, make sure that the pictures are clear and moderately bright. Using the name of a famous artist, in lately books are often published with unclear scans of drawings or with increased unnatural brightness and contrast, and this is not very good for children's eyes.
