This thesis is the first attempt to lay down the history of Russian illustration within its stages of development. The study period is from the Renaissance of Russian periodical illustrations in 18th Century, until the 20th Century (namely 1980s.) This period is divided into three stages: first, the Depiction – Tone Stage (18th century); second, the Colored Illustrations Stage (19th century); and finally, the third, Photomechanical Stage (from the 20th century onwards until the end of 1970s). Within this scope, this Master's Degree Thesis explores the types of Russian periodical illustrations, investigates the characteristics of illustrations according to each specific period, analyses the art of the specific illustrators who contributed to the style of these periodicals, and presents detailed information on the creative aspects of the artists who gradually built the Russian school of illustration art in the specified stages of development, along with their illustrations. This study employs the methodologies of art and sociology of art history. Therefore, in this study, the development of periodical illustrations as the fundamental part of graphic-design activity in Russia is analyzed within context of the socio-cultural requirements of the Russian society and interacting historic-art medium. Within this framework, this thesis explores the illustrations in periodicals of Russia between the 18th century and 20th century according to their content, artistic form and function.
