Gennady Kalinovsky
Gennady Vladimirovich Kalinovsky (1929 2006) was born in Stavropol. He studied at the Moscow Middle Art School and at the V.I. Surikova State Art Institute. He made illus-trations for more than 100 books.
Kalinovsky influenced the imaginations of several generations of Russian children. Besides Mary Poppins, he illustrated a few editions of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, the first Russian edition of J.R.R. Tolkien, and chil-dren's books by Yury Koval, Sofya Proko-fyeva and others.
The post-Soviet years were harsh for the picky artist. He won several prestigious awards, but his financial situation remained difficult. There was eventually a bright side: In 2001, St. Petersburg's Vita Nova released a classy gift edition of Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita with exquisite illustrations by Kalinovsky, a project that would have been unthinkable in the previous decade. His pictures brilliantly captured the contrast between the jerky satirical scenes set in Moscow and the epic biblical style of the Pilate chapters. Some of the 96 illus-trations that Kalinovski made for The Master and Margarita are shown here.
