Title Viktor Pivovarov. Illjustrator. Kniga V
Description “Ole Lukoie”, “The Snow Queen”, “Scandinavian Fairy Tales”, “The Black Hen” and “My Imaginarium” — books illustrated by Viktor Pivovarov have become part of the visual memory of several generations of readers. The fifth volume of the “Illustrator” series brings together the artist’s celebrated children’s illustrations and much less familiar work produced for adult literature, including illustrations for works by Dostoevsky, Pasternak and Yuz Aleshkovsky. Pivovarov’s book graphics were never merely literal accompaniments to a text: they contain irony and hidden meanings. A window, a ray of light, a door or a barely visible silhouette can become an independent protagonist of an image. The illustrations are accompanied by essays by the artist himself. Pivovarov discusses the inner workings of Soviet book publishing in the 1960s–1980s, the Detgiz and Malysh publishing houses, encounters with censorship and the reasons why book illustration became one of the refuges available to artists associated with unofficial art.
