The album contains works of associate professor of art faculty VGIK A. P. Melik-Sarkisyan, giving an idea of his work both in book illustration - a special genre of graphic art, and in animation. Illustrations of Melik-Sarkisyan, then dynamic, then filled with transparent air, become an artistic and figurative means of expressing the author's intention, make literary texts visible, convey the atmosphere of works. A special place in the work of the master is in animation, where he is in collaboration with directors such as G. Bardeen, C. Sokolov, N. Dabija, V. Kurchevsky creates unforgettable vivid images from Salieri to Bluebeard, from Red Riding Hood to the plastically expressive characters of Adagio. This album is interesting both for a wide range of readers and for students of art universities .
