Therefore, the emphasis lies on the artists and not on the authors. Many Russian artists, even the most famous, worked as illustrators for children's books. In part one a chronological survey of the illustrated Russian children's book is positioned within its historical context. In the second part seventeen artists are portrayed. A description of their life and work is given and the position of illustrations for children's books within their oeuvre is discussed.. Gewicht/Weight: 2220 grs.
