A single sheet as a painterly response to Mikhail Bulgakov’s “The Master and Margarita”: the novel’s fantastical, double-layered world condensed into vibrant strata of crayon, pastel and frottage. Literature turned into colour.
Background
Mikhail Bulgakov (1891-1940) worked on his novel “The Master and Margarita” from 1928 until his death. The book could not appear in his lifetime; a censored version was first published in 1966/67 in the Moscow journal “Moskva”, and the uncut edition followed in the Soviet Union in 1973. The novel interweaves a satirical picture of everyday Moscow with a fantastical plot around the devil Woland and a Jerusalem narrative centred on Pontius Pilate.
