R.I.P. World History of Cemeteries Through the Eyes of an Artist

R.I.P. World History of Cemeteries Through the Eyes of an Artist

Imagine: an artist depicts cemeteries with brush and word.
…Sounds promising?

No phantasmagoria, only science and poetry of the necropolis in Alexandra Merezhnikova's book. In the format of historical notes, the author discusses matters that concern every person: love and death. And,... of course, does not forget about architecture.

Will you dare to embark on this terrifyingly beautiful visual journey to find out:
— Why is the flying sphinx in a Paris cemetery covered in lipstick from kisses?
— Which American cemetery hosts tribute concerts every year?
— Why did the media ignore the death of Vysotsky?

And if the existence of sunken and cosmic memorials is no secret, what will you say about cemeteries on the internet?..

Alexandra Merezhnikova is an illustrator, designer, drawing instructor, tattoo artist, and the decorator of more than 15 books.
