Ivan Bilibin: 1876-1942
I love these illustrations by Ivan Bilibin of Baba Yaga (the lower illustration) and Vasilisa. Dark and beautifully unsettling (as fairy tales really are). I had never heard the tale of Baba Yaga until I worked with a Ukranian woman. Today while refreshing my memory of her fable, I discovered Ivan Bilibin’s illustrations.
