Mikhail Vrubel: A series of films about the life and work of the artist

The work of Mikhail Aleksandrovich Vrubel is one of the most significant and mysterious phenomena of Russian art of the late 19th century. Great skill, tragedy, heroic spirit and unique decorative gift make Vrubel an artist for all times. Eternally living in his own world, inaccessible to the understanding of others, Vrubel was able to recreate his complex world in the images of his unusual art, and these images became one of the most important milestones of Russian culture at the turn of the century.
