Yuri Vasnetsova is well aware of as the author of elegant "popularful" illustrations for children"s fairy tales and folk songs, entire generations stared by his pictures. But the first book, which he himself considered successful, is completely different, unlike all his well -known works.
The background here is one. In the early 1930s, Yuri Vasnetsov and his two friends of the artist Yevgeny Charushin (also from Vyatka) and Valentin Kurdov (from Perm) already worked in Detgiz under the leadership of the famous Vladimir Lebedev. Friends had a book business went well. And Vasnetsov at first did not work out in the book graphics. Strict Lebedev gave little orders. Success to Vasnetsov came precisely after the book "Swamp". These drawings have been created from nature. And the book turned out to be both real and fantastic at the same time. I somehow came across Vasnetsov on a forest swamp and became interested in the wonderful unlike life of small creatures. He scored herbs, bugs-boots, frogs, dragonflies, settled the houses between window frames, let a floating trifle in a jar of water. Watched,
