Masha and the Bear in the style of B. Kustodiev

Creating illustrations for this cheerful Russian folk tale about the savvy mischievous Mashenka and the formidable, but the naive bear, our illustrator was inspired by the works of Boris Kustodiev. Boris Kustodiev sang the beauty and vitality of a folk, provincial life, and his "Kustodiev women" have long become an integral part of Russian culture. Look at the bright, cheerful heroes of the fairy tale, at the bear in the image of Fedor Chaliapin - plunge with them into the life and atmosphere of merchant life. Compare pictures from a book with the originals of the works of great masters, look for common details and catch differences, discuss the color palette and features of the era. To do this, you do not need to be an artillery, it is enough to get carried away with a fairy tale and illustrations. At the end of the book, you can read about the main stages of the artist’s creative development and find out interesting facts about him. Here we placed reproductions of the original works that inspired our illustrator
