Fairy tales. Postcard sets
And one more novelty (or rather two, but small ones), which will appear today in the pre-order of the Labyrinth, and live, I hope, already to the Book Salon.
These are two sets of postcards with drawings by Nikolai Kochergin.
In pursuit of this: Heroes of Russian fairy tales and epics
now there will be more:
"Russian fairy tales"
And
both sets of 15 postcards, in size, like "Heroes"
Set "Russian fairy tales" made on the basis of a drawing cycle for the collection of fairy tales of the same name, which then, in the early 50s, for a number of reasons, were not published in the book and were later given by the artist himself for postcards. Already in our time, these drawings were used in the collection "Fairy-tale Rus'", and later came out as illustrations in the calendar of our publishing house in 2015. Then it really didn't work out to use them all: there were only 12 months +1 on the cover, and only 16 drawings. Now all of them are used in postcards: 15 postcards + 1 on the cover of the folder.

1. Go there - I don’t know where, bring that - I don’t know what

3. Morozko
4. The Frog Princess

Set "Folk tales in the drawings of Nikolai Kochergin" assembled from the surviving originals of the artist.
I already know that there were several prefabricated sets, none of them have been completely preserved (with the exception of "Russian Fairy Tales", but they were not drawn like postcards, unlike the others).
We allowed ourselves to collect some of the drawings in the already released set. "Heroes of Russian fairy tales and epics", the rest are coming out now, in a new set "Folk tales in the drawings of Nikolai Kochergin".

Who invented the "golden cockerel"? It turns out that the origins of the "golden cockerel" must be sought in ancient egypt where fairy tales and legends have ancient tradition. Since ancient times, the Egyptians were considered the most skillful soothsayers and sorcerers, they created the famous guarding talismans in the form of talking and moving images of animals and birds. In ancient sources, there are often references to the golden bird. She was always on a hill and guarded the city from strangers and wild animals, flapping her wings and piercingly announcing danger.

The cover was designed by Yuri Annenkov. You see: he is standing next to me and also demands that the dirty boys wash their faces. This is required by other artists" - K. Chukovsky

Excellent master, absolute recognition of handwriting! Illustrations for Russian fairy tales and fables became the vocation of the animal painter E. Rachev. He was often seen with an album in the zoo or in the forest. Nature tells the artist a lot. And you also need to know people and understand their characters, and life itself taught the artist this.

There is no other like it and there never will be! I remember how at school in a literature lesson we enjoyed reading Krylov's fables by roles.

Provencal lace has long been a symbol of elegance and sophistication. For some reason, it is with these French laces that I have an impression after viewing the works of V. Konashevich. The complex ligature of the lines of the pattern and ornamentation, some kind of velvety roundness, muted natural colors - in a word, "unearthly patterns of Provencal lace".

Refined polished graphics, conciseness, black and white silhouette of the picture, individual colored spots add color, and although a little gloomy, this adds some mystery to the plot.

Why was I afraid of this fairy tale as a child and did not want to read it? Some kind of ominousness hovered over this little Nutcracker. Or is it true that early European fairy tales were originally "not for little ones"? Poor, poor nutcracker ... and even scary mouse king in addition...

One day, a professor of literature at St. Petersburg University, entering the classroom, began to read a fairy tale in verse instead of a lecture. Having read it to the end, the professor said that the author of the fairy tale was a student and was sitting right here in the audience. It was 1834, this student was Pyotr Ershov, he was only 19 years old.
“The tale of P. Ershov is a unique phenomenon. Despite the apparent simplicity of the text

Household animals solve their problems.
Everything is like with people: kindness and naivety, greed and envy, the desire to help a neighbor or, conversely, take away the last - a tangled tangle of intrigues and tragic situations with happy ending in simple plots of Russian folk tales.
Cicely Mary Barker (1895 - 1973) was an English illustrator, author of postcards, flower books and Flower Fairies.
This happened almost a hundred years ago. In 1911, unusual postcards appeared in London - they depicted flowers, and among them flower fairies. Postcards have become very popular, even British Queen with her restraint, she could not resist this magic, and sent postcards to her friends.
Who was the author of flower fairies? It turned out that Cecile Mary Barker, a sixteen-year-old Englishwoman, painted these beautiful postcards. She lived in the small town of Croydon, near London. Cecile was born weak child, so I had to do home education. She read and drew a lot. It was drawing that Cecile gave all her free time from her studies. Her father, Walter Barker, an artist and woodcarver, saw a burgeoning talent in his beloved daughter and persuaded her to enroll in a correspondence course in painting at the Croyden School of Art.
Starting training, Cecile soon surprised the teachers with her abilities. Along with the work of her father, she exhibited her own drawings. At 16, Cecile was elected a member Art Society. And then Walter Barker decided to show some of Cecile's illustrations to the printer Rafael Tuck. So for the first time her postcards appeared, which immediately brought her success. Now Cecile could help her father with the maintenance of the family, selling her work to magazines and postcard makers.
But less than a year later, his father died. Very young Cecile spent whole days at her studies, as it became not only the joy of creativity, but also the only means of existence.
She worked tirelessly. Cecile's drawings gained fame in 1918. Queen Mary herself sent postcards of fairies to her friends.
In 1923, her first book, Flower Fairies of Spring, was published. The book was not only beautiful illustrations, but also with poems that Cecile wrote herself. The book was in demand. And soon seven more books were published, which also sold out at lightning speed. And then reputable publishing houses began to repeatedly reprint Cecil Barker's books.
The Complete Works of Cecile Barker contains four volumes: Fairies of the Seasons, Fairies of Garden Flowers, Fairies of Roadside Flowers, Fairies of Trees, Flower Alphabet. Fairies of Winter was published by her friends after Cecile's death.
The books are so unusual in their unique depictions of flowers and plants that they are often referred to as botanical encyclopedias. Cecile always drew her flowers from life, and their images were believable and full of life.
When she couldn't find a plant, the staff at the Royal Botanic Gardens delivered it to her. But what about the little fairies? Who was the sitter for these lovely funny creatures? The elder sister Cecile opened a private house in their cozy house. kindergarten. Children happily posed for Cecile fairy tale characters. If you look closely at the postcards, you can see that the characters of the little fairies correspond to the colors that are depicted with them. And that is not all. Cecile sewed costumes of fairies of dandelions, roses, daisies, poppies herself, made wings from branches, wire and veils.
Entomologists recognize the fact that the fairy wings depicted in the pictures exactly repeat the drawings of the wings of butterflies loved in England. In her works, she strove for realism, drawing in detail the plants and images of each fairy. There are no words to express my feelings of admiration for talent, observation, patience, diligence and that spiritual kindness that are reflected in the illustrations of Cecil Barker. Her encyclopedic accuracy in depicting flowers, plants and little Flower Fairies on postcards makes you believe in a fairy tale.
Throughout her life, Cecile remained a deeply religious person. Already in 1920, she began to write on religious theme illustrating bible stories, and also painted panels and triptychs for chapels and churches.
In the 50s of the last century, the Swiss scientist Max Luscher conducted research on the effect of color on body functions, in which he used the work of Cecile Barker. As a result, he noted that the orange-yellow color in the Buttercup Fairy changes the frequency of the pulse, respiration, and even blood pressure, producing a stimulating effect. And Fairy Veronica dark blue color brings peace. The Fairy Fairies Cecile Barker carry positive attitude human soul.
Beautiful cards with flowers and fabulous Fairies can surprise, soothe, enchant, they have strong impact, give a feeling of harmony, joy. They fill our lives with the fairy tale that we believe in ... or want to believe.
