The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish

Dear readers!
One of you is one of the tales of Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin - "Tale of a fisherman and a fish", the illustrations for which was performed by a wonderful Russian artist Ivan Yakovlevich Bilibin (1876-1942).
Bilibin"s passionate enthusiasm for ancient Russian art was reflected in his illustrations for Pushkin"s fairy tales: to the "Tale of King Saltan", "Tale of the Golden Cockerel", "Tale of Fisherman and Fish". The Bilibinsky style is characterized by the beauty of the patterned pattern and the exquisite decorativeness of color combinations. In illustrations for the "Tale of Fisherman and Fish", the artist skillfully combines both color and black and white drawings. The artist hoped that "... under the influence of passion for past beauty ... finally a new Russian style would create, quite individual and not tinsel.
Children"s books illustrated by the artist had a huge impact on the design culture of their time, and for many years the perception of Russian fairy tale has become largely Bilibinsky
