Latif Kazbekov’s Watercolor Illustrations for Children’s Books
The article is devoted to the actual analysis of the work of the Soviet and modem book illustrator Latif Kozhakhmetovich Kazbekov, whose work in the field of children’s book illustration is poorly covered not only in the scientific space but also among ordinary book aesthetes. The authors of the article, for the first time, consider L. Kazbekov’s work in the field of book graphics, in which he worked in the early period of his career. The purpose of the study is to analyze L. Kazbekov’s watercolor illustrations for children’s books in the context of the development of the artist’s own creativity and Russian book illustration, mainly of the 1990s.
