If you can't get enough of what you can find here, you can also try the website of Sergei Litvinov, a young Russian from Rostov-on-Don, who is continuously searching the internet to find new illustrations of The Master and Margarita. We stored them in the Photo gallery of our Facebook page, which you can visit with the following link. In this mobile version of the website, we did not include all illustrations of the full version, since some of them did not pass our «mobile test». Finally, a final word of praise for the Swede Jan Persson who made a 55-meter drawing on a wall of a shopping center in Gothenburg. Among the photographers, I just love the Russian Elena Martynyuk and the Ukrainian Retro Atelier and I also enjoyed the series which the French photographer Jean Daniel Lorieux made with Isabelle Adjani as Margarita. My personal favorites are the black and white drawings of the Russian artists Pavel Orinyansky and Boris Markevich and the New Zealander Charlie Stone, the colour illustrations of the Russian artists Nikolay Korolev and Aleksandr Vygalov, the Polish illustrator Marcin Minor and Chilean Parisian Pedro Uhart. Everyone to his own taste, of course, and that's why I will also add series which I didn't like too much myself. A common characteristic is the love of the artist for the novel, but it's not always expressed in a talented way. The quality of the illustrations is uneven. I do not have enough images of the illustrations by Melik-Pashaev to devote a page to it, but below you can see how he saw the scene at the Patriarch's ponds. With success, because in 1994 he was promoted to Doctor in Psychology and became a specialist in the field of creative development of children with more than 140 scientific publications to his name. He started studying psychology at the age of 34 through a postgraduate course. He worked on it from 1958 to 1961.Īfterwards, Melik-Pashaev made quite a big turn in his career. Three years later, when he was a student at the renowned studio school of the Moscow Art Theater MKhAT, he started making a series of illustrations for the novel. Father Aleksander Shamilyevich Melik-Pashaev (1905-1964) was a conductor, and mother Minna Solomonovna Shmelkina (1909-1995) danced as a ballerina in the theatre'sballet.Īfter the death of Mikhail Bulgakov, the Melik-Pashaev family remained friends with Elena Sergeevna, and that's how Aleksander Aleksandrovich could read the manuscript of The Master and Margarita when he was 14 years old. They were both connected to the Bolshoy Theatre in Moscow. But his parents were good friends with the author and his wife Elena Sergeevna (1893-1970). When Melik-Pashaev was born, Mikhail Bulgakov had been dead for a year. It's is a series of black-and-white drawings made by Aleksander Aleksandrovich Melik-Pashaev (☁941). The first illustrations for The Master and Margarita known to me date from 1958, which is eight years before the novel was first published - albeit heavily censored. I made a series of 33 gouaches myself, by the way - to illustrate my book with annotations to the novel. Or in portfolio's, ex libris prints, or graffiti. On the internet, for example, or on the walls of places which were linked, in one way or another, to Bulgakov or the novel. Sometimes their work was made to illustrate a printed version of the book, but more often it were independent series of images which showed up in many different ways. Many artists felt called upon to illustrate The Master and Margarita or to visualise scenes from the novel.
