Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Le Tapis Volant (The Magic Carpet), Arabian Tales, Flammarion, Paris

Ivan Yakovlevich Bilibin 1876-1942 RUSSIAN ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATION FOR LE TAPIS VOLANT (THE MAGIC CARPET), 1934 signed I. Bilibine and with artist's initials in Cyrillic and dated 1934 (lower right); inscribed N4 (upper right); inscribed in Cyrillic (center right) watercolor and ink on paper laid down on board 13 3/4 by 10 1/4 in. 35 by 26 cm

is work is accompanied by the book Le Tapis Volant (France, 1935) in which it is illustrated.

After Bilibin moved to Paris with his family in 1925, he largely supported himself by designing for the stage. He also produced book illustrations for French publishers, including several juvenile titles edited by Père Castor for Flammarion. In 1934, Bilibin illustrated the Arabian story Le Tapis Volant (The Magic Carpet) for a series of fairy tales published by Flammarion in Paris, but the book was not published until the following year.

Bilibin's illustrations for children's books exemplify the Russian Style Moderne in their combination of elements of Old Russian art with the stylistics of Japanese woodblock prints. His illustrations for The Magic Carpet were influenced by the time he spent in the Middle East (1922-25) before settling in France.

The dramatic, almost theatrical compositions of Bilibin's books such as The Magic Carpet are filled with intricate details and surrounded by ornate borders. In his children's book illustrations, Bilibin created all the decorative elements for book design, including a special typeface, initials, and ornamental vignettes. The manner in which Bilibin executed his drawings is reminiscent of the work of an engraver. After making a sketch on paper, he would render a more precise outline of the composition on tracing paper, which he would then transfer to Whatman paper; then, using a sable brush with the end cut off like a chisel, he would go over the pencil-drawn outlines. Bilibin's clearly rendered outlines could be accurately transferred from the zinc printing plates to the paper, and his use of color in almost monochrome areas was perfectly suited for reproduction. Bilibin developed a style that had a great impact upon the development of children's book illustration and set a standard for his peers.
