The fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen are known and loved by children and adults in every home around the world. Illustrators love them too, so the variety of books is huge.
But for me, Andersen will forever remain the same as Anatoly Kokorin saw him, because even as a child I copied his portrait countless times from a shabby book with my favorite illustrations.
For drawings for Andersen's works, Kokorin was awarded the Gold Medal of the USSR Academy of Arts and the ardent love of several generations of readers.
“He knew everything about Andersen. For seventeen years he collected and assembled a special library, where different languages they talked about Andersen, remembered Andersen, studied Andersen, portrayed his heroes in different styles and manners. But the artist Kokorin did not need anyone's style. By the time of the meeting, he possessed a certain secret, against which, in fact, neither time, nor space, nor the features of another culture could resist. The type of art in which the artist Kokorin worked should be called "professional improvisation", and the result of this improvisation, when the pencil touches the paper literally on the fly, is truly akin to a fairy tale, which, as you know, touches reality only when it wants to. ". http://bibliogid.ru/articles/497
Here is what his colleague and friend Viktor Tsigal said about Kokorin's work: “In Kokorin's illustrations there is a persuasiveness that captivates with skill, mischief, a playful moment, a firework of joyful colors. Looking at his drawings in albums and books, I was amazed at how organically his drawing lays down on a sheet, how it coexists with text, type, how the line itself twists merrily, and where it breaks, how a charcoal pencil crumbles under the pressure of temperament.
And here are the words of the author himself: “When I was a little boy, they gave me a book in a red cover. On it, in gold patterned letters, was written: "The Tales of G. X. Andersen." With bated breath, I read these amazing tales .... and unusual countries arose in front of me, ancient cities, peasant houses, unlike ours. I saw funny ships with inflated sails running along the waves and people in unusual clothes .... And I wanted to make drawings for them.
Every time you start illustrating new fairy tale, I ... quietly say: Good morning great Andersen! I always strive to make the drawing clear, extremely expressive. But such simplicity does not come easily and requires a lot of preliminary work. I like to draw with a black soft pencil. I also draw with pen and ink. And I paint with paints according to the finished drawing.
Therefore, how delighted I was when AST undertook to republish Andersen's fairy tales with Kokorin's favorite illustrations. For a long time I chose which book to buy, and settled on "Favorite Fairy Tales". The book includes three fairy tales by Andersen: Flint, Swineherd and Potato. The first two - in the translation of A. Hansen, the last - in the retelling of A. Maksimova. And since these tales are not only familiar to everyone, but are also in every library, it makes no sense to talk about the text. Therefore, I will say about the publication - a large square format, hardcover, thick white offset paper, large print, illustrations on each spread (!), print quality is normal, colors are bright, illustrations are clear. If you find fault, the only negative is a thin white stripe in the center in some illustrations for the entire spread (you can see it on the scans), apparently due to illiterate stitching.
Other versions of Andersen's editions with illustrations by Kokorin: (in the first, in addition to Andersen's three fairy tales, there is also Perrault's "Puss in Boots", and in the last two only the cover and format (reduced) differ):
Recently, AST released as many as three versions of Charles Perrault's tale "Puss in Boots" with illustrations by Kokorin. That is, there is essentially one option, just, as usual, the covers are different - for every taste, both hard and soft. A fairy tale in a wonderful translation by Valentin Berestov, as in the edition of the seventieth year, drawings are both color and black and white.
At the request of Marina, I will tell you a little about Andersen's collection of fairy tales "Sausage stick soup and other fairy tales" from the Moscow Textbooks publishing house. The book contains rarely published fairy tales, which is very important, given the availability and sale of an incredible number of Mermaids, Thumbelinas and Snow Queens with a wide variety of illustrations.
There are six fairy tales in the collection, four of which are in the classical Hansen translation: Sausage Stick Soup, Little Ida's Flowers, Little Klaus and Big Klaus, Ole-Lukoye, Ib and Khristinochka, Magic Hill.
Illustrations by Elena Abdulaeva are light and smoky, not for everybody. And although I do not consider myself to be such, I am very glad that this book is in Shkapu, thanks to its content and quality of execution. It is simply excellent: large format, hardcover (with a cute font composition in the form of a mouse))), thick coated paper, excellent printing, large print, suitable for independent reading. You pick up a book and you don't want to let it go.

And he went out to his soldiers, and went to the theater or into the forest for a walk, only to show off in a new outfit.

"I've been busy book illustration for the sake of earning money, - said Nika Georgievna, but soon realized that it was mine. Even when I didn't have orders, I painted "for myself". In my opinion, the book is a small theater in which the illustrator himself puts on a play. He is both an author, and an actor, and a director, and a lighter, and a costume designer, and a decorator ...
You need to draw scenes, think over their sequence, write mise-en-scenes, it's very exciting! This is how illustrations for The Ugly Duckling, The Snow Queen, Olya Lukoya, Cinderella, Puss in Boots, The Swineherd, and many other world-famous fairy tales appeared.
"The King's New Dress" is the most unusual fairy tale by H. K. Andersen, there is not a drop of magic in it.

“My grandfather and parents introduced me to Andersen's fairy tales,” recalls Diodorov. - For some reason I remembered the “Snow Queen” from those early times. I was not indifferent to how this villainess torments pure soul Gerda".
Diodorov says that he illustrated each Andersen's fairy tale for five years. “I have been making books for years. I suffer". When he worked on the layout for The Little Mermaid and reached the moment when the Little Mermaid, refusing to kill the prince, dooms herself to death, she imperceptibly cried bitterly. “In the translation of Ganzenov,” says Boris Arkadievich, “this episode contained the energy of believers who believed in this situation. And other translators who built this passage, perhaps more beautifully, have no faith. And you don't believe them. I believe that a non-believer cannot adequately translate what a believing person has written or said. They are different worlds."
Drawings by Boris Diodorov amaze with the beauty of thin lines. Most of them were created using the etching technique. With a steel needle, the pattern is scratched on a varnished metal plate. Although this technique is complex, it allows you to achieve extraordinary subtlety and airiness of lines: after all, no pen can draw as finely as a needle.

The title of this fairy tale begins and ends with the same consonant letter.
Separately, I would like to show the illustrations of The Steadfast Tin Soldier, since the artist painted his family in this book. The artist came up with illustrations for the fairy tale at sea, next to his family ... and he wanted the fairy tale to be in more not about the soldier, but about the house in which he lives, about children and family in general ...
On the pages of this book, not only a lot of funny toys live their special lives, but also a whole cute family, whose fabulous everyday life is so interesting to watch.
“In the open sea, the water is completely blue, like cornflower petals, and transparent, like clear glass, but it’s also deep there! Not a single anchor will reach the bottom; many, many bell towers would have to be placed on the bottom of the sea, one on top of the other, only then the top one could stick out of the water.
"Kill me!" - said the poor thing and lowered his head, waiting for death, but what did he see in the water, clear as a mirror? Your image."
Probably of all the stories written by the Danish storyteller Hans Christian Andersen, " ugly duckling"- the happiest ending. Maybe that's why both children and adults love her so much.

Illustrations by the wonderful artist Anton Lomaev helped Andersen's famous fairy tale to become especially bright, lively and modern.

A distinctive feature of the artist's creative manner is that he technically performs his works MANUALLY, without resorting to tricks and opportunities. computer programs. The only technical device on the desktop of V. Yerko is a large magnifying glass, which allows working through complex details and fragments of works.
“A soldier was walking along the road. One or two? One or two? Knapsack on the back, saber on the side. He was walking home from the war. On the road he met an old witch.
The princess sat on the back of the dog and slept. She was a miracle how good; everyone would immediately see that this is a real princess.
"Let's start? When we reach the end of our history, we will know more than we do now. So, once upon a time there was a troll, evil-prezloy. Once he was in a particularly good mood: he made a mirror in which everything good and beautiful decreased further, and everything bad stuck out and became even more disgusting.

Introduction
A children's book is as much a monument of culture and time as any work of art.V. Pivovarov

Chapter 1
1.1 A galaxy of Russian illustrators of fairy tales G.Kh. Andersen.
Children's book, children's writers, children's fairy tales... How poor our life would be if from the first years of being on earth the child did not see, did not hold in his hands this miracle - the book of our childhood. She discovers something new, unknown and surprises that images, pictures and events are born from the word.One can imagine how many book artists, graphic artists, illustrators* in all countries were inspired by the heroes of the great Dane.
O one of the oldest artists Vladimir Mikhailovich Konashevich 1 (1888 - 1963), who stood at the origins of children's books in Russia, more than once turned to Andersen's fairy tales. His drawings are decorative, recognizable and bright.
O of particular note is the work of the illustrator Valery Sergeevich Alfeevsky- a classic of European fairy tales: Hoffmann, Gauf, Carroll, Kolodi, and, of course, Andersen. His drawings are remarkable for the combination of fabulousness and mystery with reliable reality. Illustrations for Andersen's fairy tales are the brightest cycle of his works. In large multi-color editions and in small black-and-white line drawings, the artist managed to create a sparkling extravaganza, a magical celebration of drawing.
Valery Grigorievich Traugot (1931) and Alexander Grigorievich Traugot (1936). The Traugoth brothers have a special way: they do not sketch, but they do a lot various options illustrations. When there are a lot of drawings, they sit side by side and, delicately listening to each other, select the best. They are one of Andersen's best illustrators. When the brothers drew for books, they tried to make the illustrations sparkle white, as if they were made of porcelain.
Evgeny Grigorievich Monin(1931 - 2002) - one of the recently departed illustrators, People's Artist of Russia, Corresponding Member Russian Academy arts. In total, he designed more than a hundred books, and 24 of them were awarded various awards, including international ones. Art critics note in Monin's work an addiction to all sorts of architectural structures and medieval castles. The characters of Andersen's fairy tales, drawn by the artist, are different from other characters. Almost everyone has special “outstanding” noses. If we look at the picture for the fairy tale "Persistent tin soldier”, then we can easily see that art historians are right. The whole page, the whole spread is houses, windows, doors, only at the very bottom is a barely noticeable soldier on a paper boat. Most strengths Monin's creativity is color and impeccable taste. All with taste and charm
E another illustrator Anastasia Ivanovna Arkhipova Born in Moscow in a family of artists - father and grandfather are book graphic artists. In 1978 she graduated from the Moscow State Institute named after V.I. Surikov. Already in 1980, the artist was working on the design of a volume of Russian fairy tales in the "Library of World Children's Literature" series for the "Children's Literature" publishing house.
In the 80s and 90s, books of Andersen's fairy tales with illustrations by A.I. Arkhipova "Wild Swans and Other Tales" The Snow Queen"," The Steadfast Tin Soldier ", etc. Delicate, expressive, light-filled pictures want to look at and look at. In 2003, the Egmont publishing house republishes the fairy tales of G.Kh. Andersen, along with illustrations by A. Arkhipova.
The book "G.Kh. Andersen. The best fairy tales" is 200 pages of really best fairy tales. BUT best fairy tales, according to the publisher, those that were drawn by the artist Arkhipova. Here and "The Little Mermaid", and "The Girl with Matches", and "The Snow Queen".
The illustrations for "The Snow Queen" are different from any other drawings for this fairy tale. Gerda is not like any other girl in the illustrations. This is talent, skill, your own view of a true artist. His handwriting is unique. The most delicate colors, smoky landscapes, many white color in illustrations.
Perhaps adults will look at these pictures even with more interest than children. Adults have something to compare with, they can compare the creative style of the artist, while for a child his book will be the best.
Andersen's fairy tales are fairy tales for any age. For adults it is a parable, for children it is magic.
1.2 "Fairy of a pencil and a brush" (creativity of the artist Nika Goltz).
Nika Georgievna Goltz 2 was born in 1925 in Moscow in the family of an architect. In 1943 - 1950 she was a student of the Moscow State Institute named after V.I. Surikov. Since 1953, Nika Georgievna has been working in a book and easel graphics in the publishing houses "Children's Literature", " Fiction", "EKSMO - press" and others.Simultaneously with her work in book graphics, N.

The "Snow Queen" with drawings by the artist Diodorov is mesmerizing. Each picture makes me want to look again and again.
Findings:With Andersen through the centuries
1) Hans Christian Andersen once called mighty Russia the “Pearl of all the states of Europe”.

3) Almost all the best Russian artists illustrated Andersen.
4) The works of talented illustrators of Andersen's fairy tales highlighted the unique facets of the great storyteller.
5) The artist's skill, his understanding of the text and time itself live in the illustration. As the authors write, "Andersen's work, with its mysterious romanticism, a unique combination of everyday and fantastic, with its all-redeeming Christian kindness, deep philosophy and original symbolism, turned out to be in tune with the soul of the Russian artist."
6) The talented works of the best illustrators were used by Russian publishers a century ago and continue to be published to this day.

3. To the third question “In your opinion, does the work of illustrators influence the perception of the author’s intention?” respondents answered "Yes". Some students expanded on their answer by saying that the illustration helps to represent this story in your imagination.
4.Next question “What do you think is the difference between the work of illustrators and the work of artists?” the majority answered that the illustrator draws according to the intention of the author, and the artist - on free theme. Some answered that the illustrator rather than draws, but writes, decorates the imaginary picture of history created by the author.
5. 62% respondents could not give examples of illustrators G.H. Andersen. 38% answered yes to the question "Do you know the illustrators of Andersen's fairy tales?" and cited as an example the most famous assistants in the concept of the author's intention, such as Diodorov, Arkhipova, Goltz.
6. 88% surveyed for the question " Does your home library Andersen's fairy tales, illustrations for which are made by contemporary artists? answered "Yes". Rest 12% The students answered "I don't know".
7. To the seventh question “Have you ever wanted to illustrate your favorite fairy tale yourself?” Almost all students answered in the affirmative. One respondent answered in the negative.
8. On last question, “What images does your imagination create when you look at two illustrations made by different artists for the fairy tale “The Snow Queen”?” respondents responded differently. The most frequently used phrases were "The Snow Queen looks very cold and evil" - to the first picture, "The village resembles a pre-Christmas mood and looks very warm" - to the second picture.
Based on the analysis of the questionnaire, it can be concluded that most of readers of Andersen's fairy tales understands the importance of the work of an illustrator, his high role in understanding the author's intention, and this helps to form reading culture, and, most importantly, makes them witnesses of how a miracle is born with the help of a brush and paints - a work of high art - an illustration for the Fairy Tale.
Results of the experiment (research)
Our experiment was carried out among students of the 5th grade. This is appropriate, because at the lessons of literature, fifth-graders get acquainted in detail with Andersen's fairy tales. But, unfortunately, in school curriculum Literature does not include lessons about the work of illustrators. Therefore, in one of the literature lessons, we tried to tell in detail about the galaxy of the best illustrators of Andersen's fairy tales, who, with their work, open the world of a fairy tale to the reader, complement and enrich the reader's "vision" of heroes and events. After all, an illustrator is a thoughtful reader of a book, and the main task of a book illustration is to recreate what is written in a literary work by means of fine art.
We invited 5th grade students to describe illustrations by different artists for Andersen's fairy tale "The Snow Queen" (B. Diodorov, V. Konashevich, A. Arkhipova, N. Goltz) and create their own descriptive texts based on what they saw. The work was carried out according to the following plan:
1. First impression of the painting
2. What moment of the fabulous action unfolds before your eyes.
3. Think about what the artist admires, what his skill is manifested in (composition and color).
4. What details did the artist add fabulous text(portraits, plan of the picture and "talking" details).
5. How illustration helps to understand that the artist is first of all a thoughtful reader of the book (the idea of the author and your impressions).
We invite you to the “gallery”, where, in our opinion, best descriptions to the fairy tale "The Snow Queen".
I would like to introduce you to the essays-descriptions of the fifth graders. This is how Nika Goltz describes the illustration for the fairy tale "The Snow Queen" Golukhova Lisa : “This illustration can be titled like this: “Gerda is captured by an old woman - a sorceress.” This picture is permeated with iridescent light, the old woman's smile creates a good-natured mood, and Gerda's blurred look is a little disturbing. The artist depicts the subtlety and fragility of glass vessels with amazing skill. Nika Goltz uses different colors in her drawing. Basically, it is light yellow and light beige. They depict the walls of the room, Gerda's blouse and apron. The whole drawing is bright and iridescent, and the artist follows the text of the fairy tale, which describes the scene where Gerda ate ripe cherries, and the old woman combed her hair. I really liked this drawing with its light and kindness.
From work Zhenya Labzina : “In the painting by Nicky Goltz, I saw the Snow Queen taking Kai away. The boy does not feel trouble yet, he is having fun with the Snow Queen. But the coloring of the picture is like a warning: something will happen! The drawing is written in dark colors. I saw despair and felt fear for Kai. With the help of the artist, I clearly imagined this strange city, where ships are sailing through the streets, and the fact that Kai is being taken away from his homeland for a long time. In the picture, a horse harnessed to the Snow Queen's sleigh begins to take off into a dark, gloomy sky, illuminated only by a lonely, thin moon.
“The picture is absolutely amazing! Look how the artist Arkhipova portrayed the characters! What special colors! And the carriage? It seems that she is flying, circling in a whirlwind of snow. Sadly, the artist draws the figure of Kai against the backdrop of a snow-covered city, but something disturbs the heart of the viewer. The artist explains the author's intention with composition and coloring" - describes Podshivalova Polina amazing illustration by Anastasia Arkhipova.
Myagotin Denis wrote down his thoughts about the painting by B. Diodorov: “My first impression of this painting: amazing beauty! What I misunderstood in this episode fell into place. This is one of my favorite episodes. I felt Gerda's love for her friend Reindeer and realized how much she misses Kai. In the background I see a snow-covered forest. Perhaps barefoot Gerda in her little blue dress will have to make her way through this silent thicket. I was also struck by the color of the picture: iridescent light colors and snow, white - white.
Here is what Melamud Dasha writes in her essay based on an illustration by B. Diodorov: “We have before us an episode of Gerda's meeting with the wise Raven. Against the backdrop of a beautiful but cold castle with pointed spiers (I think this is the artist’s style of writing), behind a cast-iron fence covered with snow, poor barefoot Gerda is sitting on a cold stone. She lowered her head and gave up all hope of finding Kai. The raven, stretching its neck, is trying to look into the face of an unfamiliar girl. Maybe he asks her: “Why are you sitting here alone in the cold, how can I help you?”. Faded gray colors and only Gerda's red dress in the midst of all this darkness, as it were, gives hope for the salvation of her beloved brother. With the help of paints and a brush, the artist helped to imagine the plight in which Gerda found herself ... "
“In front of me is a magical illustration by A. Arkhipova for the fairy tale “The Snow Queen”. In the foreground on the clouds are Kai and the Snow Queen. She leads the boy to her ice kingdom. I always thought: what is she, the Snow Queen? The artist helped me to “see” her: with a cold look, a stern face, in a snow-white coat strewn with snow, beautiful, but ruthless and lonely. The coloring of the picture is gloomy: gray tones are mixed with a cold sheen of white, and only a lone figure of Kai is given in color, ”- from the work of Azim Saida.
And here is an excerpt from the work of Masha Ross to another illustration by the artist A. Arkhipova: “On the balcony high house Kai and Gerda sit with a red tiled roof entwined with blossoming roses. The girl is reading a book, looking at the pages with interest. The window is open, the wind is blowing, and the curtains, like snow-white sails, flutter in the wind. Everything is so quiet, calm, nothing portends trouble, and the colors correspond to the mood of the picture. On the background blue sky storks are circling, birds of happiness and kindness. The content of the picture, emotions and characters - all this is embodied in the drawing. It seems to me that even without reading a fairy tale, you can tell what it is about. About the victory of good over evil.
Conclusions from the results of the experiment:
Having introduced the fifth graders to the biographies of wonderful children's book illustrators, preparing a book exhibition where they talked about their work, processing the results of the questionnaire revised by the fifth graders, we Special attention devoted to the analysis of creative works - essays-descriptions of illustrations by different artists for Andersen's fairy tale "The Snow Queen". The main task of this stage research project- to teach children the ability to analyze the work of an artist, to understand how each artist follows Andersen's text in his own way, immerses the reader into the world of events and heroes of a fairy tale, makes him worry about the fate of the characters, helps to understand the storyteller's intention, draws images and plots with a brush and paints.
After analyzing the work of students in grade 5, we can draw the following conclusions:
The illustrations for Andersen's fairy tale "The Snow Queen", made by wonderful artists, are magical, enchanting, opening the world of fairy tales to the reader in a new way, complement and reverse the reader's "vision" of heroes and events.
The guys “felt”, felt the special handwriting of the illustrators presented in our project:
Sparkling extravaganza of black-and-white, line drawings by V. Konashevich.
Fifth graders saw in the works of N. Goltz kindness, unusual plasticity of composition, magical color, and the artist herself was called a kind sorceress who carefully leads the reader through adventures to the happy end of the fairy tale.
The drawings of the artist B. Diodorov fascinated the students. I want to look at each of his pictures again and again, discovering new details of his amazing works.
Delicate colors, smoky landscapes, many shades of white - all this can be found on the wonderful compositions of A. Arkhipova.
An illustrator is first and foremost a thoughtful reader of a book. , and his illustrations explain the author's intention, open up the world of a fairy tale, complement it. Even if the reader does not know anything about the artist, even if this will be the first meeting with him, but only one glance at the opening of the book will tell the heart what is in front of us. wonderful illustrator, sensitive person and great master !

Will we be able to bring up a Real Reader in ourselves, which every writer and illustrator dreams of, because a real reader and a real viewer gives all his attention and all his spiritual abilities.
To read means to seek and find, the art of reading must be acquired and developed in oneself. For, according to the philosopher Ilyin, each of us is what he reads and how he reads.

The exhibition stands collected materials about the galaxy of the best illustrators of Andersen's fairy tales.
Illustrators of fairy tales by H.H. Andersen
Classroom materials
“What I portray, I always love ...”
A galaxy of Russian illustrators of fairy tales G.Kh. Andersen.
Children's book, children's writers, children's fairy tales... How poor our life would be if from the first years of being on earth the child did not see, did not hold in his hands this miracle - the book of our childhood. She discovers something new, unknown and surprises that images, pictures and events are born from the word.
Since childhood, folk tales, fairy tales of A.S. Pushkin, the Brothers Grimm and, of course, Hans Christian Andersen, the most published storyteller in the world.
One can imagine how many book artists, graphic artists, illustrators in all countries were inspired by the heroes of the great Dane.
Let's try to touch this world through the work of the best Russian illustrators who are recognized as such in the world.
Andersen's illustrators are a galaxy of remarkable artists. It is difficult to tell about all, let's focus on the most big names, on artists loved by children.
One of the oldest artists, Vladimir Mikhailovich Konashevich (1888 - 1963), who stood at the origins of children's books in Russia, often turned to Andersen's fairy tales. His drawings are decorative, recognizable and bright.
V.M. Konashevich Illustrations for fairy tales by G.Kh. Andersen
The artist created an individual, recognizable style of designing fairy tales, in which the brightness of images, ornate patterns and vignettes are combined with the artist's ironic look, the ability to captivate a child with playful, lively compositions, the poetry of fantasy and the colorful decorativeness of the picture.
Talking about how he comes up with drawings, Konashevich admitted: “There are artists who invent and think with a pencil in their hand ... I am an artist of a different warehouse. Before I take up a pencil, I have to figure everything out in advance, imagine mentally a finished drawing in all its details ... ”Konashevich’s work educates children in taste, a sense of beauty and harmony, the joy of being and kindness. Because besides everything, His painting is kind, in every stroke, in every glare one can always feel the talent of kindness - a huge, three-girth heart, without which his valiant service to children would be impossible.
Of particular note is the work of the illustrator Valery Sergeevich Alfeevsky, a classic of European fairy tales: Hoffmann, Gauf, Carroll, Kolodi and, of course, Andersen. His drawings are remarkable for the combination of fabulousness and mystery with reliable reality. Illustrations for Andersen's fairy tales are the brightest cycle of his works. In large multi-color editions and in small black-and-white line drawings, the artist managed to create a sparkling extravaganza, a magical celebration of drawing.
Illustrations by V.S. Alfeevsky to the fairy tale "Flint"
Valery Grigorievich Traugot (1931) and Alexander Grigorievich Traugot (1936). The Traugot brothers have a special style: they do not make sketches, but they do many different versions of illustrations. When there are a lot of drawings, they sit side by side and, delicately listening to each other, select the best. They are one of Andersen's best illustrators. When the brothers drew for books, they tried to make the illustrations sparkle white, as if they were made of porcelain.
Valery Traugot and Alexander Traugot are laureates of the All-Russian competitions "The Art of the Book" in 1988, 1990, 1991, 1992. It is difficult to tell about all the works of the Traugoth artists, and we stopped at the most significant, memorable and beloved by young readers.

Evgeny Grigoryevich Monin (1931 - 2002) - one of the recently departed illustrators, People's Artist of Russia, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Arts. In total, he designed more than a hundred books, and 24 of them were awarded various awards, including international ones. Art historians note in the work of Monin an addiction to all kinds of architectural structures and medieval castles. The characters of Andersen's fairy tales, drawn by the artist, are different from other characters. Almost everyone has special “outstanding” noses. If we look at the picture for the fairy tale "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", we can easily see that art historians are right. The whole page, the whole spread is houses, windows, doors, only at the very bottom is a barely noticeable soldier on a paper boat. The strongest aspects of Monin's creativity are color and impeccable taste. All with taste and charm.

Another illustrator, Anastasia Ivanovna Arkhipova, was born in Moscow into a family of artists - her father and grandfather were book graphic artists. In 1978 she graduated from the Moscow State Institute named after V.I. Surikov. Already in 1980, the artist was working on the design of a volume of Russian fairy tales in the "Library of World Children's Literature" series for the "Children's Literature" publishing house.
Portrait of the illustrator A.I. Arkhipova Illustration for the fairy tale "The Snow Queen".
In the 80s and 90s, books of Andersen's fairy tales with illustrations by A.I. Arkhipova "Wild Swans and Other Tales", "The Snow Queen", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" and others. Delicate, expressive, light-filled pictures make you want to look and look at them. In 2003, Egmont publishing house republishes the fairy tales of G.Kh. Andersen together with illustrations by A. Arkhipova.
Illustrations for fairy tales by G.Kh. Andersen A.I. Arkhipova
Her work is known in Norway, Italy, Denmark, Sweden and Germany. In 2001, "The Little Match Girl" by Arkhipova was noted as the best edition of Andersen in the Scandinavian countries.
In 2003, Anastasia Arkhipova became the winner of the " Best Illustrator of the Year" competition "Book of the Year" in Russia.
The book "G.Kh. Andersen. The best fairy tales" is 200 pages of really best fairy tales. And the best fairy tales, according to the publisher, are those drawn by the artist Arkhipova. Here and "The Little Mermaid", and "The Girl with Matches", and "The Snow Queen".
Illustrations by A.I. Arkhipova to the fairy tales "The Little Mermaid" and "The Little Match Girl".
The illustrations for "The Snow Queen" are different from any other drawings for this fairy tale. Gerda is not like any of the others. This is talent, skill, your own view of a true artist. His handwriting is unique. The most delicate colors, smoky landscapes, a lot of white in the illustrations.
Arkhipova chooses for her drawings key points fairy tales: Kai and Gerda among their flowers, Kai and the Snow Queen, Gerda in a boat swims up to the house of an old sorceress, etc.
Perhaps adults will look at these pictures even with more interest than children. Adults have something to compare with, they can compare the creative style of the artist, while for a child his book will be the best.

Andersen's fairy tales are fairy tales for any age. For adults it is a parable, for children it is magic.
"Pencil and Brush Fairy" (art by artist Nika Goltz).
Nika Georgievna Goltz was born in 1925 in Moscow in the family of an architect. In 1943 - 1950 she was a student of the Moscow State Institute named after V.I. Surikov. Since 1953, Nika Georgievna has been working in book and easel graphics at the publishing houses "Children's Literature", "Fiction", "EKSMO - press" and others.
All my long life N. Goltz draws fairy tales. The artist Leonid Vladimirsky called her "the fairy of a pencil and a brush". Illustrated by the artist E.A. Hoffman, C.Perro, the Grimm brothers, S. Lagerlöf.
Simultaneously with her work in book graphics, N. Golts released a series of paintings depicting Egypt, Russia, and Scotland. She painted the foyer of the Musical Theater for Children by Natalya Sats, including two panels based on sketches by Academician of Architecture G.P. Golts, the artist’s father.

In 1988, Nika Georgievna became a laureate All-Russian competition"The Art of the Book" for illustrations to A. Pogorelsky's fairy tale "Black Hen, or Underground Dwellers".
Goltz's drawings are full of nobility and refined taste. They are exquisitely friendly and kind. This can be seen both in the stroke and in the plasticity of the compositions. She treats the little reader with respect and carefully guides him through the adventures to the happy end of the fairy tale. She is a good witch.
The artist also illustrates Andersen's fairy tales. For several generations of children, his fairy tales have been read - "Thumbelina", "Ole-Lukoye", "Flint", etc. In 2002, the EKSMO publishing house delighted young readers with the book "The Snow Queen" with new illustrations by the artist. This book immediately attracted the attention of fellow graphic artists. She was called book of the year famous artist Leonid Vladimirsky, artist Mitrofanov and others.
In March 2002, an exhibition of Nika Goltz took place in the Russian State Children's Library, where numerous illustrations for Andersen's fairy tales, landscapes of Denmark were exhibited, which the artist walked around with an easel and paints.
Her illustrations are pierced with iridescent light, depicting the subtlety, transparency and fragility of fairy-tale magic with amazing skill.

Many works by Nika Georgievna Goltz are in Russian museums, including the Tretyakov Gallery, and private collections in Russia and abroad - in Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Italy, and the USA.
Since 1953, N.G. Golts has been participating in Moscow, Russian, All-Union and international exhibitions.
Exhibitions: Canada, India, Denmark (1964); Yugoslavia (1968); Biennale in Bologna (Italy, 1971); Biennale in Italy (1973); "Book-75"; Exhibition of illustrators of the works of the Brothers Grimm in Berlin (1985); Denmark (Aarhus, 1990; Vejle, 1993) together with Danish artists.
The artist's friends say that when Nika Georgievna paints still lifes - bouquets of flowers, little people are sure to sit in the flowers: nymphs, elves. Moreover, adults do not immediately notice them, but children look at the flowers and, above all, see these fabulous little men.
When you look at the works of Nika Goltz, it seems that the world of a fairy tale is real and exists somewhere in a corner of the planet known to the artist. Perhaps this place is Nika Georgievna's favorite Denmark: “This is a small country, but it is colossal. Because it contains such a variety of different landscapes: there is a dense forest, and of amazing beauty; there are such amazing oaks - they grow a little differently than our oaks. They branch from the root - these are the famous Umols oaks. I am so lucky that for almost 20 years I have had very close friends there, and we traveled all over this amazing country with them. There I saw churches of the 11th century with murals, which also do not look like anything else. This is already Christianity, but the Vikings painted them. It's something very Danish. Denmark is also my favorite artist Hanashoe, whom I sometimes call "Danish Serov". Thanks Denmark. For her beauty, for her kindness, for her amazing charm.”
In recent years, Nika Georgievna has been working on illustrations for the works of H.K. Andersen for the EKSMO publishing house.
"The endless joy of discovery" (meeting with the work of Boris Arkadyevich Diodorov)
Portrait of B.A. Diodorov Illustrations for the fairy tales of G.Kh. Andersen
B. Diodorov - People's Artist of Russia, holder of the diploma of Ivan Fedorov, silver medal International Exhibition books in Leipzig (1982), silver medal of the Academy of Arts of the Russian Federation (1996), nominee for gold medal (1998, 2000).
Art education began in 1945 at the Moscow Art School on Chudovka, then from 1952 to 1954. - Moscow secondary art school (in Lavrushinsky) at the Moscow State Art Institute named after V. I. Surikov. Among the teachers and artists whose influence was the most significant were: K.K. Zefirov, M.T. Khazanov, K. G. Dorokhov, A. A. Meleshkin, K. M. Molchanov, N. I. Andriyaka, V. Babitsyn, A. P. Gorsky, P. Radimov, R. R. Falk, N. P. Krymov, S. A. Chuikov, E. A. Maleina, M. I. Kurilko and many, many others.
Recognition came to the artist in 1979 after the publication of the fairy tale story by the Swedish writer, Nobel Prize winner Selma Lagerlöf "Niels' wonderful journey with wild geese." The book was illustrated with exquisite color etchings with aquatint and watercolor. She received the highest diplomas of the Art of the Book competitions, including the Diploma to them. Ivan Fedorov (1980), "Golden Apple" BIB-81 in Bratislava, "Silver Medal" IBA-82 in Leipzig.
Boris Diodorov has made over 400 books. He is the author of illustrations for "Winnie the Pooh", fairy tales by L. N. Tolstoy, "The Scarlet Flower" by S. T. Aksakov, "The Snow Queen", "The Little Mermaid" and "Thumbelina" by X. K. Andersen, "Song of the Soul" and S. Turgenev, "Sivke-Burke", "Malachite Box" by P. Bazhov and many others.
People's Artist of Russia Boris Arkadyevich Diodorov is so in love with the work of Hans-Christian Andersen that it seems that the storyteller himself sent the painter to Russia. However, we have always loved the main writer of Denmark. But what happens in two years will, perhaps, be the main event in the posthumous - and eternal - life of Andersen and his heroes in the Russian expanses. “First of all, it will be the opening of a monument to the writer - the first in Moscow, and, it seems, in Russia,” says Boris Diodorov, president of the H.-K. Andersen Foundation. “In addition, a whole series of anniversary events is planned, the center of which will be Day 2 April 2005 is the storyteller's birthday."
Boris Diodorov argues that Andersen was on a par with Pushkin in "educating the high moral and aesthetic ideals of generations of Russians."
Two years ago, Mr. Diodorov received the Grand Prize from the Danish Princess Alexandra International Competition Andersen in Odense. The prize has been awarded once a year since 1996.
When you pick up books with illustrations by Diodorov, you are not let go by the feeling of miracle and magic.
The "Snow Queen" with drawings by the artist Diodorov is mesmerizing. Each picture makes me want to look again and again.
Illustration for the fairy tale "The Snow Queen" by B.A. Diodorova
With Andersen through the centuries
Hans Christian Andersen once called mighty Russia “the pearl of all the states of Europe”. It was a tribute of the great Danish writer to Russian literature, which he knew, according to his confession, “from Karamzin to Pushkin”, and to some extent gratitude for the incredible love that Russian readers immediately showed to his translated fairy tales.
Andersen became on a par with Pushkin in the upbringing of high moral and aesthetic ideals of generations of Russians.
Almost all the best Russian artists illustrated Andersen.
The works of talented illustrators of Andersen's fairy tales highlighted the unique facets of the great storyteller.
The artist's skill, his understanding of the text and time itself live in the illustration. As the authors write, "Andersen's work, with its mysterious romanticism, a unique combination of everyday and fantastic, with its all-redeeming Christian kindness, deep philosophy and original symbolism, turned out to be in tune with the soul of the Russian artist."

There are a huge number of illustrations for fairy tales and other works of Andersen.
Vilhelm Pedersen 1820-1859
was the first illustrator of fairy tales and stories by Hans Christian Andersen. His illustrations are distinguished by smoothness, softness and roundness of forms, concise execution. It is interesting to note that often the faces of children painted by Pedersen have a completely unchildish expression, and at the same time, adults look like just big children. The world of Pedersen's illustrations is a world of leisurely stories in which things and objects can suddenly begin to speak and behave like people, and children - the heroes of Andersen's fairy tales - find themselves in a surprising and sometimes cruel world where you have to pay for everything, and where both good and evil get what they deserve.
Lorentz Frolich 1820-1859
was the second illustrator of fairy tales and stories of Hans Christian Andersen. His illustrations are quite similar to those of Andersen's first illustrator of fairy tales, Vilhelm Pedersen. Perhaps that is why he was chosen.
Edmund Dulac
was born in 1882 in Toulouse, France. His artistic ability manifested itself in early age, there are sketches made by him when he was a teenager. Many of them are done in watercolor, a style he favored throughout his life. For two years he studied law at the University of Toulouse while studying at the School Fine Arts. Having received a prize at the competition there, he understood where to pave his way. Since then, he has been studying only at the School. In 1901 and 1903 he received the Grand Prix for the work sent to the annual competitions. In 1904, under the patronage of a school friend, he studied for two weeks in Paris at the Academy Gillen and then went to London, where he began his dizzying career. It was a period when color printing of illustrations had just become technologically accessible and widespread. The first book with pasted illustrations was published in 1905.
E. Dulac's first work was a series of 60 illustrations for a collection of works by the Bronte sisters. It was his testimony high level that he, a young 22-year-old foreigner with no big name, received an order for such work.
An interesting aspect of these early illustrations was that they did not have pencil lines as borders between different colors. This was made possible thanks to new printing technologies that made it possible to accurately align the borders. different colors. For E. Dulac, who worked on paper in this style, he did not have to return to the old-fashioned style of pencil lines that hide the inaccuracies of overlaying paints.
Thanks to great success new type of illustration, more publishers became interested in artists who could draw in the new style. Therefore, in 1907, E. Dulac received a new order for illustrations for the Thousand and One Nights. Then the orders poured in one by one. The Tempest by W. Shakespeare 1908, Rubaiyat by Omar Khayyam 1909, Sleeping Beauty and Other Tales 1910, Tales by H.K Andersen 1911, Bells and Other Poems by E. A . By 1912, "Princess Badura" 1913,
In 1913, an interesting thing happened: his palette became brighter, thanks to the use of a more juicy, romantic blue color,... and more eastern, which later became a constant in his approach. 1914 saw the publication of "Sinbad the Sailor and Other Stories from the Thousand and One Nights" and the outbreak of the First World War. The war immediately entered his work. "King Albert's Book", "Princess Mary's Gift Book" and his own book"The Book of Pictures from the French Red Cross by E. Dulac" were designed by one single author. The book "Tales of E. Dulac" was published in 1916. When the war ended, the last of his luxurious editions of "Tales of Tangelwood Forest" saw the light of day. At this point, at the age of 35, he found himself in a situation where his profession became unnecessary.
This would be true if only making illustrations for books were all he could do. Despite the fact that the rest of his life was marked by poverty (he lived from paycheck to paycheck, as we would say), he was able to earn money and became famous in many areas. He was an outstanding cartoonist and for a year and a half supplied the weekly "The Outlook" with drawings. He painted portraits. He illustrated "The Kingdom of Pearls" - a story from the 1920s. He created costumes and scenery for the theatre. He was a designer of stamps and banknotes for Britain and then, during World War II, Free France. He designed playing cards, chocolate packages, medals, graphics for the Mercury Theater, bookplates for books and much, much more.
In 1924 he began an association with The American Weekly, a Saturday supplement to the Hearst newspaper network, where he created a series of color drawings on a predetermined theme. The first series, Biblical Scenes and Heroes, began in October 1924 and ran for 12 issues. Until 1949, he again and again returned to this market as a source of income.
In the autumn of 1942 he published a series of illustrations for The Canterbury Tales. He was not satisfied with the quality he received. The cheap paper and folded illustrations did nothing to satisfy his tendency towards perfectionism.
And the books! Among all the great illustrators of deluxe editions, E. Dulac remained the most active throughout his life. The "Green Lacquer Pavilion" of 1925, "Treasure Island" of 1927, and his other works, created up to the beginning of the 50s, surpassed everything created by contemporaries.
Edmund Dulac died in 1953.
