Ivan Bilibin

Ivan Bilibin was an artist that came from Russia. This means that his Art is Slavic.
He is also among my favorite illustrators.

When he traveled to the Northen part of Russia, he became acquanted with the Slavic folklore and the wooden architecture from those parts of the country.

His contribution to Russian Fairy Tales was original. He also went passed Cairo and Alexandia, only briefly, but came to settle in Paris around 1925.

He illustrated stories such as the Tale of the Golden Cockerel, Baba Yaga, Island Buyan. The Redfirebird is particularly beautiful. He was born in St.Petersburg, 1867 and died during the Leningrad Siege in 1942.
