The Art of Ivan Bilibin

 

 

Ivan Bilibin (1876-1942) is a Russian artist associated with the Golden Age of Illustration.

 

The Ivan Bilibin Collection at Spirit of the Ages includes art images from some of

Bilibin's seminal work. As a valuable reference resource, options are also provided for

purchasing a range of gifts, including reproduction prints, posters and greeting cards.

 

Throughout his long career, Bilibin was influenced by Slavic folklore in choosing themes

to illustrate - on one occasion, he published his thoughts on the matter in Folk Arts of the Russian North (1904).

 

Bilibin was a member of Sergei Diaghilev's Mir iskusstva (World of Art) group and, in addition to illustrating books, also contributed to designs for the theatre.
