There was something dark, mythic and beautifully nostalgic about the world of folklore Ivan Bilibin created. Throughout his career he was inspired deeply by Slavic folklore and myths. He distinctly reflected the mountains, forests and lore of old Russia. Bilibin gained some renown in 1899, when he released his illustrations of Russian fairy tales which became widely popular.

Part of the point of starting this blog is to post images of the things and people that I find influential. I'm starting with one of my favorite illustrators, Ivan Bilibin. Bilibin was a Russian Illustrator active in the late 18th century through the early 19th. Take a look. Most of Bilibin's work comes from Russian Fairy tales. The image above is from Fenist the Falcon, here is another image from that story. This guy was like the Russian Mucha, awesome. I love the way that he uses the decorative borders as small illustrations within the larger. This image comes from the story Marya Morevna, here Tsarevich Ivan and Marya Morevna are fleeing from Koshchei the Deathless. He creates such a sense of light in the background. These two come from The Frog Princess, which features some of Russian folk tales most prominent characters, Prince Ivan, Baba-Yaga, and Vasilisa the Wise. I especially love the very goofy looking old Tsar, see the bottom image. This is the title page from The White Duck, it looks so modern and the colors are just amazing. I can't get enough of this guy. His details, design and colors are all just such eye candy. I definitely encourage you to check out more of his work. Also check back here soon for more fun stuff!

Ivan Bilibin was born in 1876 in St. Petersburg, Russia. His first inspiration for illustrating fairy tales came from the Russian folktales he was told growing
Iván Yákovlevich Bilibin (1876 -1942). Uno de los ilustradores más influyentes del siglo XX que tomó parte en el Mir iskusstva, movimiento artístico ruso, inspirado por una revista del mismo nombre, que tuvo gran influencia en Rusia y contribuyó a revolucionar el arte Europeo en los primeros años el s. XX. No tenía previsto hacer a Bilibin esta semana pero el artículo en música para niños sobre El Pájaro de Fuego del pasado domingo (pinchad aquí si queréis leerlo), lo volvió a traer a mi cabeza, pues Ivan Bilibin, además de ilustrador fue diseñador escénico, partició activamente en las escenografías de los Ballets Rusos. Su reconocimiento fue temprano, con apenas veintitrés, y gracias a unas innovadoras ilutraciones sobre Cuentos de hadas rusos en las que ya aparece una característica constante en su obra: el folclore eslavo como principal fuente de inspiración. Os dejo las ilustraciones que hizo para la antología Cuentos maravillosos rusos de 1912, así como las ilustraciones para dos cuentos muy populares en Rusia: Vasilissa la hermosa y El pájaro de fuego y el lobo gris. Espero que las disfrutéis. Cuentos rusos maravillosos, 1912 Vasilissa la hermosa (un cuento de Baba Yaga) El Prícipe Ivan, El pájaro de fuego y el lobo gris
