Find out, remember, share your opinion.
The article was written using stories from parents of current children and reviews of books on online bookstore websites.

Vladimir Grigorievich Suteev(1903-1993, Moscow) - children's writer, illustrator and animator. His kind, cheerful pictures look like stills 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) - folk artist, soviet schedule(it is believed that the “Dekhterev School” determined the development book graphics countries), illustrator. Worked primarily in technology pencil drawing and watercolors. 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.

Nikolai Ustinov - people's artist, illustrator. Fairy tales with his illustrations were published not only in Russia (USSR), but also in Japan, Germany, Korea and other countries.

He illustrated folk tales, fairy tales by Leo Tolstoy, Pyotr Ershov, Samuil Marshak, Vitaly Bianki and other classics of Russian literature.

When buying children's books with illustrations by Yuri Vasnetsov, make sure that the pictures are clear and moderately bright. Using the name famous artist, V 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.

Volkov, thanks to whom he became widely known in Russia and other countries former USSR. Painted with watercolors.

To be fair, it is worth noting that Chizhikov’s illustrations are quite specific and cartoonish. Therefore, not all parents prefer to buy books with his illustrations if there is an alternative.

During the classes

Slide1. Epigraph.

"Reading is a second life"

Guys, do you know any writers who illustrated their books?

Students' answers.

Today you will learn a lot of interesting things about the work of these wonderful writers and artists.

Slide 2. Surely you are all familiar with early childhood Evgeniy Ivanovich Charushin . He devoted all his creativity to nature. in the ancient northern city of Vyatka.

The boy grew up next to the taiga, and, of course, the house was always full of different animals. Zhenya carried his love for them throughout his life. He grew up, became an artist, and his drawings were populated by a variety of animals and birds.

Slide 3. Guys, what do you call an artist who draws animals? (Animal painter)

That's right, animalist, from the Latin word animal - animal. And Charushin depicted animals as, perhaps, no one before him. He observed animals, often visited the zoo and made many drawings from life. After all, in order to truthfully portray an animal, you need to study it well, know not only the appearance of the animal, but also its movements, habits and even character.

Soon his furry little animals appeared in the children's books of S. Marshak and V. Bianki - active, flexible, wary or trusting, and children immediately fell in love with them. Charushin especially liked to draw cubs of a variety of animals - wolf cubs, fox cubs, bear cubs, lion cubs, chickens, kittens.

Slide 4. Here are illustrations for S. Marshak’s book “Children in a Cage”. These drawings are one of best works Charushin (1935). Look at the giraffe, which, funnyly spreading thin legs and stretching out his long neck, he tries to reach the flower, exactly as in the poem by S. Marshak:

Picking flowers is easy and simple

Small children.

But to the one who is so tall,

It's not easy to pick a flower!

The child is not allowed to eat!

He ate this morning

Only two of these buckets.

Slide 5. Here, look at the amazingly touching bear cub. He is still so small that much of nature is unfamiliar to him. But he liked the raspberries.

Slide 6. And here is the surprised kitten Tyupa. He lived at Charushin's house, and he was nicknamed Tyupa because he hummed his lips funny, as if he were talking. Guys, let's read this story. (Reading a story). Look at the illustrations for this story. How accurately the artist depicted a fluffy kitten - Tyupa hid, watching the butterfly, ears erect, eyes wide open. How much curiosity is in his gaze! You can't help but smile when you look at him.

Slide 7. Who do you see in this illustration for the story “Forest Kitten”? (Rysenka)

Now the little lynx is very busy, what do you think he is going to do? (Jump)

That’s right, Charushin depicted the animal’s pose in such a way that we immediately understood that the lynx was preparing to jump. And to find out what happened next, you need to read the story.

Slide 8. Do you recognize this kid? (This is a wolf cub)

This illustration is for the story "Wolf". If you look carefully at the drawing, you can notice his frightened eyes, it seems that he is whining quietly. No, he is not capricious at all. He's just small. His mother wolf went hunting, and he was left alone, and he became scared. After reading the story, you can find out what happened to him later.

Slide 9. In the book “Big and Small,” Evgeniy Ivanovich tells you guys about how animals and birds teach their children how to get food and save themselves (reading the stories “Hares” and “Woodpeckers with Chicks”).

Slide Meet me! This dog's name is Tomka. Do you think he is evil or good? (Students' answers)

The owner loves Tomka very much because he is an understanding dog. One hot summer day Tomka was taken hunting. It was very beautiful and fun on the small lawn: butterflies and dragonflies were flying, grasshoppers were jumping. I wonder if the dog Tomka will be able to catch someone during the hunt or not? And you can find out this, and about other adventures of this cute dog, by reading the stories “About Tomka”.

Slide 12. Evgeniy Ivanovich Charushin worked a lot with children - he taught them to draw. His son Nikita Charushin, having become an artist, also illustrates children's books. His granddaughter Natasha also became an illustrator.

Slide 13. Charushin wrote, as if addressing his young readers: “Enter the world of nature! Enter attentive and inquisitive, kind and brave. Learn more, know more. This is why we exist, so that nature turns into a great homeland for you...

But the Motherland is the smell of pine and spruce, and the aroma of fields, and the creaking of snow under skis, and the blue frosty sky... And if all this cannot be expressed in the words of a writer, the artist’s brush comes to the rescue.”

Slide 14. So happily two skills, two talents were combined in one person - a storyteller and a draftsman. And both of them are given to you - the children. It is not without reason that Evgeniy Ivanovich Charushin's books have been translated into many foreign languages. And this is a symbol of well-deserved recognition in world children's literature. His drawings have been at exhibitions in many cities around the world - London, Copenhagen, Athens, Sofia, Beijing, Paris, etc. For outstanding services in the development of the Soviet visual arts In 1945 he was awarded the title of Honored Artist of the Russian Federation.

After graduating from school, he entered the Institute of Civil Engineering, where he managed to complete three courses before the war. In 1941, after completing military engineering courses, he was sent to the front.

Slide 38. He graduated from the war with the rank of senior lieutenant.

After the war, he entered the first year of the art department of the Institute of Cinematographers in the animation department, from which he graduated with honors.

Slide 39. He was sent to the "Filmstrip" studio, where he drew 10 children's filmstrips, including "The Adventures of Pinocchio" (1953) based on a fairy tale.

The drawn image of this wooden man with a sly smile has long won the love of children and has become a classic. It is used in cinema, theater, and serves as a model for making dolls. The image of Pinocchio has become firmly established in popular consciousness that few people think about who painted it...

Slide 40. In 1956, the book “The Golden Key or the Adventures of Pinocchio” was published with illustrations by Vladimirsky. And from that time on, the artist began to engage only in illustrating books for children.

Slide 41. Did you know that the striped cap and red jacket of Pinocchio were invented by Leonid Vladimirsky? After all, Tolstoy’s jacket on Pinocchio is brown, and his cap is completely white. Leonid Viktorovich says that Pinocchio came to him in a dream and asked him to draw a red cap and a red jacket. In order not to “offend” either the writer or the hero, the artist had to make the cap striped. Entire generations have become accustomed to this type of Pinocchio.

Slide 42–44. L. Vladimirsky says about his drawings that they are something between a book and a movie. This is a filmstrip on paper. All illustrations are interconnected. He is, first and foremost, a cartoonist. Therefore, looking at the pictures, you can easily tell the plot of the book. Let's try…

Slide 45. Second famous work artist, which brought him national recognition - illustrations for six fairy tales by A. Volkov.

Slide 46. The first book, “The Wizard of the Emerald City,” was published in 1959. Since then, with drawings by Vladimirsky, it has been republished more than 110 times.

And it all started like this... After Pinocchio, the artist wanted to illustrate some good children's book and he went to the library and asked for something interesting. So Vladimirsky received a small green book “The Wizard of the Emerald City”, printed on poor paper and with black and white illustrations. Leonid Viktorovich really liked the book, and he decided to find the writer A. Volkov. It turned out that he lived in the next entrance. With A. Volkov, Vladimirsky created a color book, which was a great success. The book was simply impossible to get. People stood in queues at night to subscribe to it. The guys took them from friends, copied them by hand, and copied pictures. Vladimirsky keeps several such handwritten copies. And then letters came from children asking them to write a sequel. This is how this series was born. For twenty years the writer and artist worked in perfect harmony.

Slide 47. This is how the writer A. Volkov assessed the artist’s work: “I can admit that I was lucky: fairy tale characters, drawn by L. Vladimirsky for my books, have become close to millions of young readers. I now imagine the Straw Man Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, Ellie and other heroes of my fairy tales exactly as the artist created them.”

Slide 48. The artist himself will tell us how the images of the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman were born: “I came up with a sheaf of hair - this is a good find. American artists of Baum's fairy tale "The Wise Man of Oz" have a scary Scarecrow. They go from his destination. And I - from character. My Scarecrow is kind and cute. It was very difficult to “match” his and the Tin Woodman’s noses. The American Scarecrow has a hole instead of a nose. Of course, I was indignant and put a patch on it in this place. My Scarecrow is small and fat, the Tin Woodman is tall and thin. Based on the principle of contrast. And if one has a patch, then the other should have a long nose. I draw a long sharp nose for the Woodcutter - it turns out to be an iron Pinocchio! It turned out to be very difficult to find the small round chip that you see on the tip of his nose.”

Slide 49. The artist also suffered with Arachne, the evil sorceress from “The Yellow Fog.” After all, according to the book, this is a rude, primitive giantess who released a yellow fog onto magical land. The writer did not like everything that the artist brought and showed. He said that this was not a sorceress, but Baba Yaga. Trying to “see” this heroine, Leonid Viktorovich spent days on the subway, making sketches, sitting at train stations for hours... nothing worked, all the wrong images! And then one day Leonid Viktorovich was climbing the stairs in his entrance, and a neighbor was walking towards him. And he realized - here she is Arachne! He immediately took up a pencil, drew it and went to the “trial” with Volkov. He liked it and the children saw it new book and a new heroine.

Slide 50-51. And for a long time and painfully, Vladimirsky searched for the image of Lyudmila from the poem “Ruslan and Lyudmila”. He painted it for 40 years. And all the time I didn’t like something, I couldn’t find the final version. In the end, I decided that, first of all, Pushkin himself should have liked Lyudmila. The artist placed in front of him a portrait of Natalie Goncharova, the wife of Alexander Sergeevich, and, looking at her, finally drew that same Lyudmila.

Leonid Vladimirsky illustrated many fairy tales.

Slide 52. This is “Three Fat Men” by Yu. Olesha,

Slide 53.“The Adventures of Parsley” by M. Fadeeva and A. Smirnov,

Slide 54.“Defeated Karabas” by E. Danko,

Slide 55.“Journey of the Blue Arrow” by J. Rodari,

Slide 56."Russian Fairy Tales" and many other books.

Until now, we have talked to you about L. Vladimirsky only as an artist, but he also wanted to become a writer. Vladimirsky is very fond of the mischievous wooden boy Pinocchio and he depicted him many, many times, as soon as a piece of paper falls into his hand, his hand again and again draws a long nose, a mouth to the ears, a striped cap with a tassel... There was a whole folder of these drawings. The restless boy became bored in it. I wanted to get into a beautiful book, and as the artist himself says, he asked Pinocchio to compose a fairy tale for him about his new, very amazing adventures.

Slide 57. This is how the book “Pinocchio is looking for treasure” was born - a real children's thriller. And then the artist and writer Vladimirsky came up with the idea of ​​introducing Buratino to his other favorite hero, the Scarecrow. And how to do it? That's how.

Slide 58. a fairy tale in which he sent dad Carlo, the dolls and Artemon to the Magic Land in the Emerald City. When all the heroes met there, it turned out that they had a lot in common. IN a new fairy tale many miracles happened, which you will learn about by reading this book and looking at the magnificent illustrations.

Slide 59. Leonid Viktorovich is 87 years old, but he is full of energy and creative ideas. He dreams of making a cartoon based on his book “Pinocchio is looking for treasure.” He is one of the organizers of the All-Russian family club “Friends of the Emerald City,” which is now successfully expanding its activities. Vladimirsky has his own website on the Internet.

Slide 60. Leonid Viktorovich Vladimirsky – Honored Artist of the Russian Federation, laureate All-Russian competition children's reading preference "Golden Key". In 2006, the artist was awarded the Order of Pinocchio: “For courage and presence of mind shown on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War, for loyalty to the ideals of childhood, for the creation of the classic image of Pinocchio and works of art that instill purity of thoughts in children, inner freedom and self-confidence."

Slide 61. Story about it talented person You can end it with his own poems in which he states: “Kindness will win.”

Every actor dreams of making his own film, and every children's illustrator- write your book. Or vice versa - every children's writer would like to illustrate his own book. Be that as it may, some people are damn good at it.

We at Little Stories understand how important it is that the writer’s idea and the artist’s vision resonate - otherwise the result will be falsehood, which children will recognize only in this way. To prevent such sadness from happening, we carefully write out every character and every scene in the artist’s assignment - even the movements and facial expressions of the characters. If you follow our pages on Facebook And In contact with, then you know how serious everything is with us.

Today we will show the creativity of children's writers who illustrated their books themselves.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Everybody knows " The Little Prince"and a recognizable romantic image - a boy with straw hair stands on a small ball of his own planet. And this, meanwhile, is an illustration created by the author himself.

Exupery was a test pilot, war correspondent, received a number of literary prizes for the “adult” novels he wrote, but we will forever remember the image of this young philosopher:

Sven Nordqvist

The care and love with which the Swedish writer draws illustrations for his own books evokes genuine admiration. Just look at the amount of detail in old Petson's workshop!

You probably don’t even have to read Nordqvist’s books at all - you can just endlessly look at these stunning drawings with a million details. And be sure to look for the little Findus kitten on everyone!

Lewis Carroll

Scandinavian writers probably have a special gift for illustration. So, if you didn’t know, Tove Jansson herself invented and drew the famous Moomins (and all the drawings in her own books).

In the near future, her books began to be adapted for the theater, souvenirs and character toys based on the writer’s illustrations were produced. This gave Tove Jansson huge income, and soon made her one of the richest people Finland. The writer was even able to buy her own island, where she subsequently hid from annoying journalists.

Joanne Rowling

The same "Tale of the Three Brothers" that appeared in last book series about Harry Potter, and four more tales about magic are included in the book “The Tales of Beedle the Bard,” which the writer personally illustrated. Maybe she didn’t do it as colorfully as Professor Tolkien, but we should give her credit.

A scene known from books and films: three brothers meet Death, who has been outwitted:

John R.R. Tolkien

Today, Tolkien’s books are no longer so striking in the scale and elaboration of the world, but the writer became the founder of classic fantasy and in his time made a real revolution.

The professor's illustrations, whether light watercolors or pencil sketches and still look amazing today congenial Middle-earth:

The writer worked in detail not only on the languages, culture, maps and landscape, but also sketched the characters.

Beatrix Potter

Beatrice was originally an illustrator, and only then took up the art of writing. I must say, she does both fantastically well.

Cressida Cowell

The well-known cartoon “How to Train Your Dragon” would not have become so charming if it were not for the visual style laid down by the writer herself. Her illustrations are naive, childish, but incredibly charming.

Do you recognize Hiccup and the Night Fury?

Tomi Wingerer

The writer’s first book, “The Adventures of the Hryllops Family,” with very stylish and funny author’s illustrations, was published in Russia only in 2010, but has already managed to win its fans.

Chris Riddell

Illustrations for “The Emperor of Absurdity” and other works

Chris Riddell is not only a famous British illustrator and author, but also a political cartoonist for the London newspaper The Observer.

An illustration for the Air Pirates series, co-written by Chris and another writer, showing the local world called “The Edge”:

Conclusion

As we see, the multifaceted talent of children's writers is often cramped within the confines of literature alone. This is for the best - after all, the author’s own drawings provide the most reliable reflection of his plan.

As always, our little illustrated (and animated!) stories can be downloaded here:

When you see these drawings, you want to take it and get inside - like Alice through the Looking Glass. The artists who illustrated the favorite books of our childhood were real wizards. We bet that now you will not only see in bright colors the room in which your crib stood, but you will also hear the voice of your mother reading a bedtime story!

Vladimir Suteev

Vladimir Suteev himself was the author of many fairy tales (for example, “Who said MEOW?”, known from the wonderful cartoon). But most of all we love him for all these inimitable hedgehogs, bears and bunnies - we literally looked into books with Suteev’s animals!

Leonid Vladimirsky

Leonid Vladimirsky is the cutest Scarecrow in the world, the Wise Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion, as well as the rest of the company that tramped to the Emerald City along the road paved with yellow brick. And no less cute Pinocchio!

Victor Chizhikov

Not a single issue of “Murzilka” and “ Funny pictures" He painted the world of Dragunsky and Uspensky - and once he took and painted the immortal Olympic Bear.

Aminadav Kanevsky

Actually, Murzilka himself was created by the artist with unusual name Aminadav Kanevsky. In addition to Murzilka, he owns a lot of recognizable illustrations by Marshak, Chukovsky, and Agnia Barto.

Ivan Semenov

The pencil from “Funny Pictures”, as well as many hand-drawn stories for this magazine, were drawn by Ivan Semyonov. In addition to our first comics, he also created a lot of excellent drawings for Nosov’s stories about Kolya and Mishka and the story about “Bobik visiting Barbos.”

Vladimir Zarubin

The coolest postcards in the world were drawn by Vladimir Zarubin. He also illustrated books, but collectors now collect these cute New Year’s squirrels and 8 March hares separately. And they do it right.

Elena Afanasyeva

The artist Elena Afanasyeva produced very characteristic (and so correct!) Soviet children. It's impossible to watch without nostalgia.

Evgeny Charushin

When the word “cute” did not yet exist, there was already the cutest artist: Evgeniy Charushin, the main expert on animal life. Impossibly fluffy kittens, shaggy bear cubs and disheveled sparrows - I just wanted to strangle them all... well, in my arms.

Anatoly Savchenko

And Anatoly Savchenko created the funniest and most mischievous creatures in the world: the prodigal parrot Kesha, the lazy Vovka in the Far Far Away Kingdom - and that same Carlson! Other Carlsons are simply wrong, that's all.

Valery Dmitryuk

Another king of enthusiasm and hooliganism is Valery Dmitryuk’s Dunno. And this artist equally successfully decorated adult “Crocodiles”.

Heinrich Valk

Another famous “crocodile” - Heinrich Valk - was remarkably able to capture the characters of boys and girls, as well as their parents. It is in his performance that we present “Dunno on the Moon”, “Vitya Maleev at school and at home”, “Hottabych” and Mikhalkov’s heroes.

Konstantin Rotov

Cartoonist Konstantin Rotov depicted the funniest and brightest (despite the fact that it was black and white) “The Adventures of Captain Vrungel.”

Ivan Bilibin

Prince Ivans and Gray wolves, firebirds and frog princesses, golden cockerels and goldfish... In general, all folk tales and Pushkin's tales are forever Ivan Bilibin. Every detail of this intricate and patterned sorcery can be examined indefinitely.

Yuri Vasnetsov

And even before Pushkin, we were entertained by riddles, nursery rhymes, white-sided magpies, “Cat’s House” and “Teremok”. And this whole merry carousel shimmered with the colors of Yuri Vasnetsov.

Boris Dekhterev

When we grew up to “Thumbelina”, “Puss in Boots” and Perrault and Andersen, Boris Dekhterev transported us to their countries - with the help of several magic wands: colored pencils and watercolor brushes.

Eduard Nazarov

The most gorgeous Winnie the Pooh is by Shepard (although he is also good, so what), but still by Eduard Nazarov! He illustrated books and worked on our favorite cartoons. Speaking of cartoons, it was Nazarov who drew the funny heroes of the fairy tales “The Journey of an Ant” and “Once Upon a Time There Was a Dog.”

Vyacheslav Nazaruk

A smiling Little Raccoon, a friendly cat Leopold and a treacherous couple of mice, as well as a sad Mammoth who was looking for his mother - all this is the work of the artist Vyacheslav Nazaruk.

Nikolay Radlov

A serious artist Nikolai Radlov successfully illustrated children's books: Barto, Marshak, Mikhalkov, Volkov - and he illustrated them so well that they were reprinted a hundred times. He became especially famous own book"Stories in pictures."

Gennady Kalinovsky

Gennady Kalinovsky - author of very bizarre and unusual graphic drawings. His style of drawing was in perfect harmony with the mood of English fairy tales - “Mary Poppins” and “Alice in Wonderland” were just “currier and stranger”! No less original are Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox and other funny lads from “The Tales of Uncle Remus”.

G.A.V. Traugott

The mysterious “G.A.V. Traugott" sounded like the name of some magical hero of Andersen. In fact, it was a whole family contract of artists: father Georgy and his sons Alexander and Valery. And the heroes of the same Andersen turned out so light, slightly careless - they were about to take off and melt!

Evgeny Migunov

Our beloved Alice Kira Bulycheva is also Alice Evgenia Migunova: this artist illustrated literally all the books of the great science fiction writer.

Natalia Orlova

However, there was another Alice in our lives - from the world cartoon “The Secret of the Third Planet”. It was created by Natalia Orlova. Moreover main character the artist drew from her own daughter, and the pessimist Zeleny from her husband!

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

The Dobraya Kniga publishing house, which for several years in a row published “postcard books” with photographs of animals and funny captions for them, suddenly decided to switch to gift editions of children’s books and offered readers several fairy tales illustrated by modern European artists.

Puss in Boots

Noteworthy is the original “Puss in Boots” by Charles Perrault with illustrations by another American artist(1939-2001), also appeared in the editorial office of The Good Book. Perhaps we have never seen such an original cover: it depicts a sly cat’s face in a noble dress of the Renaissance and nothing else, there is neither the name of the author, nor the title of the fairy tale, nor other attributes and vignettes familiar to us. However, this should not be surprising, since it was Marcellino who is known as an innovator in the field of cover design (starting in 1974, he created 40 covers a year for 15 years and revolutionized this field).

Marcellino began illustrating children's books in the mid-1980s. and his first large-scale work- “Puss in Boots” - brought him one of the most prestigious awards in the field of children's illustration in 1991 . Readers note that the illustrations are filled sunlight, as well as humorous overtones, and anticipate a new interpretation of the image of Puss in Boots, later presented to viewers of cartoons by the Pixar studio.

Russian readers are familiar with the illustrator’s work from the author’s picture book “Menu for a Crocodile,” which was published by the Polyandria publishing house last year (though the illustrator is presented as “Marcellino”). The fairy tale “Menu for a Crocodile” (originally “I, crocodile”) was recognized as the best illustrated book for children by the New York Times in 1999.

The Snow Queen

Readers continue to get acquainted with the work of the British illustrator in the new edition “ Snow Queen» G.-H. Andersen, who also appeared in " Good book"(most recently, the same publishing house published H. H. Andersen with illustrations by K. Birmingham, and last year the Eksmo publishing house presented C. S. Lewis's fairy tale, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, illustrated by him). The first book with these illustrations was published in the UK in 2008 by the publishing house Candlewick.

Using chalk and pencil, Birmingham creates large-scale two-page illustrations of the most famous fairy tales. They become the main event of the book, even if we are talking about a very famous text, be it “A Christmas Carol” by D. Moore (the book with illustrations by Birmingham sold more than a million copies) or “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” by C.S. Lewis. Distinctive feature Birmingham's illustrations are very detailed, photographically accurate images of people, as well as a large-scale, very bright fairy-tale world.

Listen, I'm here!

The publishing house "Enas-book" published a picture book by Brigitte Endres "Listen, I'm here!", illustrated by an artist from Germany. This is the story of how a little chameleon suffered alone in a pet store, and then ran away from there and met a little girl on the street who became his friend and owner.

If the illustrators mentioned above work for years on the same book, then Turlonhas takes less than a month to create one: in 2013, as many as 15 picture books were published in Germany, for which she drew illustrations, and in 2014 - 13. drawings, apparently made with the help of a computer, many large-headed, rather cute, although very similar friends at a friend of children, depicted with deliberately crooked lines. There is no desire for realism in them (parents of young readers will call this style “cartoonish”), but the situations and landscapes - a street, a store, a room - are very recognizable, and the pictures are not at all tasteless brightness.

It is interesting that Turlonyas in most cases acts as an illustrator of someone else’s text and almost never composes a book entirely on his own. Russian readers are familiar with her work from Michael Engler’s book “The Fantastic Elephant,” which was published by the Polyandria publishing house in 2014.

Otto in town

A huge “cardboard” for the youngest readers was prepared in the children’s edition of the publishing house “Mann, Ivanov and Ferber” - this is a picture book by the famous Belgian illustrator “Otto in the City”. At first glance, the book looks like another one already familiar to our readers wimmelbuch, its pages are scattered with many details that you can look at for a long time and look for objects and phenomena of the familiar world. But in fact, “Otto in the City” presents us with a completely innovative approach to “fluttering”: the book can be read while moving around it, and also viewed as a museum: read from beginning to end from below, and from end to beginning from above. In general, the book is drawn in the format of circular city panoramas, where there is no usual composition “from below - the earth and the city, from above - the sky and airplanes”, the reader looks at the city as if from top down, from the sky, and sees roads, houses, intersections and residents a conventional European city imagined by the artist.

Tom Champ came up with a whole series of books about the kitten Otto. Each of them presents unusual panoramas of places familiar to residents Western Europe. At first glance, his drawings look like collages made from different materials, but the impression is deceptive: the artist draws all his illustrations acrylic paint on cardboard.

Hobbit

Many illustrators worked on images for the professor’s books about Middle-earth, but the very first illustrator of “The Hobbit” was the author himself. Tolkien didn't show up professional artist and regularly apologized to his publishers for insufficiently high-quality drawings (however, only ten black and white images, as well as a map, were included in the first edition of the tale). However, who knew better than him what Rivendell, Beorn's house, the dragon Smaug and other characters and places really looked like? In February of this year, the publishing house "AST" published the next edition of the fairy tale "The Hobbit", in a new translation and with the author's illustrations, which are located on the inserts.

Hans Christian Andersen

Some Russian illustrators are in demand all over the world, books with their works are published both in Western countries, and in publishing houses in Korea and China. For example, almost half of the books with illustrations were published abroad. Russian readers saw some of his illustrations much later than American readers, this also applies to the new product from the Ripol publishing house, a book from the biographical series “Great Names”, which is dedicated to the storyteller: in the USA the book was published in 2003. The authors of the book told several stories from the life of a beloved storyteller (unfortunately, stylistically the text in Russian is very flawed), and Chelushkin illustrated them in his original manner, combining the real with the fantastic.

Poets of the Silver Age for children

Absolutely new collection"Poets Silver Age for children" by the publishing house "Onyx-Lit" is at the same time the debut of a young illustrator from St. Petersburg, who drew pictures for famous poems Marina Tsvetaeva, Nikolai Gumilyov, Sasha Cherny and other poets of the beginning of the last century. The images of people, children and adults, seem a little caricatured, but the illustrations are filled with whimsical ornamental backgrounds in pastel colors that seem to create a multi-layered, lacy space. The Onyx-Lit publishing house has announced another book with illustrations by the young artist – “The House That Floated” by Anna Nikolskaya. And currently on the platform boomstarter The crowdfunding project “Sills” has begun: readers are invited to participate in the publication of a book about the girl Lidochka, who cannot walk, but knows how to go around thresholds in her special chair on wheels. The story was composed by Anna Nikolskaya, and the illustrations for it were drawn by the same Anna Tverdokhlebova.

Tyapkin and Lyosha

Many experts and lovers of children's literature note that at the moment we are seeing a boom in reprints: Soviet children's books of the 50-80s. of the last century are published almost more than modern ones, while publishers strive to reproduce the book in its entirety: from text to illustrations, from layout to fonts (which, however, does not always work out due to new sanitary and hygienic requirements for book publishing products for children) . Editors of publishing houses choose not only the most famous, “mass” and widely circulated artists, like , but also pay attention to half-forgotten names and little-known texts.

The Rech publishing house, for example, which monthly offers its readers a good dozen old and new books, presented a reissue of Maya Ganina’s not-so-famous fairy tale story “Tyapkin and Lyosha” with illustrations. This is a fairy tale about one summer dacha adventure, the friendship of a little girl Lyuba, nicknamed Tyapkin, and the forest man Volodya, whom the girl calls “Lesha” (from the word “goblin”). Nika Goltz, who actually rarely turned to illustration modern authors, drew very delicate pictures for this book, made in only two colors - gray and emerald green. The fairy tale was published twice, in 1977 and 1988, and for each edition Nika Georgievna drew her own version of the illustrations. In the reissue, which was published in the “Reading with Biblioguide” series, the publishers collected all the artist’s illustrations created for both editions under one cover.

The theater opens

Half-forgotten by the general public, the illustrator of children's books, who died more than 30 years ago, returns to readers thanks to the Nigma publishing house. A. Brey's creativity is extremely diverse: he is considered one of the brightest representatives of Moscow book graphics of the 20-30s. last century, worked as an animal painter and as an illustrator of fairy tales, drew a lot for children's magazines and teaching aids and in total illustrated about 200 children's books. In addition, he drew approximately 50 filmstrips, offering completely new technology images for them: in some of his filmstrips, the text was not placed under the picture, as usual, but was inscribed in the very space of the picture, for which the artist composed interesting “author’s fonts”.

Publishing old filmstrips in the form of books in an enlarged landscape format is one of the most common experiences recent years. Once again it is repeated by “Nygma”, which is releasing a former 1968 filmstrip with Emma Moszkowska’s poem “The Theater Opens” as a book, illustrated by A. Brey. The artist drew not only illustrations, but also texts, and placed all the polite words that the poetess invites little readers to remember in colored frames.

In the near future, the publishing house will release another book with illustrations by A. Brey - “Alenkin’s Brood” by A. Balashov, although this time without any experiments with filmstrips.

Friends! You can support our project so that we can develop it and publish more interesting original materials about the illustrated book.
