«Книга художника» - творческий союз писателя и художника («Борис Годунов» А. С. Пушкина и В. И. Шухаева)

Abstract

By the material of V. I. Shukhaev’s “artist’s book”, the paper examines the phenomenon of the “artist’s book”, analyses illustrations that form single intermedial space with the literary text. For the first time, V. I. Shukhaev’s illustrations for “Boris Godunov” are analysed. It is shown that the painter can be rightfully considered a “co-author” of the great Russian poet, his illustrations supplement the poetical text and contribute to creating a polycode composition in which the dramaturgic text is represented as a visual image that combines textual and scenic elements.
