Schedule. Member of the Union of Artists of the USSR. The name E. K. Evenbach (1889 - 1981) is associated with the heyday of Soviet book graphics at the end of the 1920s, the so-called school of V. V. Lebedev. Evenbach created wonderful children's books "Market", "On the River", "Chintz" and many others in collaboration with B. Zhitkov, A. Vvedensky, E. Schwartz. Evenbach did a tremendous amount of work in creating primers and the first books for the peoples of the North, who did not have their own written language before Soviet rule. Evenbach was an ascetic artist. In order to study the life, way of life, and art of these peoples, she traveled to their villages, overcoming significant difficulties. The artist's copies of Novgorod frescoes and sketches of the architecture of Ancient Novgorod - everything that was destroyed by the fascist invaders during the Great Patriotic War - are of great cultural, historical and artistic significance.
