Eugene Onegin

The novel by A. S. Pushkin "Eugene Onegin" is accompanied by illustrations from the famous painter of the 20th century Lidia Timushenko. The main Pushkin work became the only book that Timushenko turned to as an illustrator. It was an... experiment (which, by the way, many of her colleagues advised her against), which completely captivated the artist for twenty years. As a result, she created two different series of illustrations: one in oil, in the technique of grisaille, in the early post-war period (published in this edition), and the second in the 1960s, in color lithography. To this day, Lidia Timushenko's works are considered the best embodiment of the images described in the novel.
