Boris Vasilievich Zvorykin was a Russian artist and graphic designer, a notable representative of the “Russian style” in late 19th–early 20th century art. Born in Moscow in 1872, he studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, where he developed a strong interest in Old Russian and folk art. From 1898 he worked actively in book graphics, exhibiting and collaborating with publishers. In the 1890s–1900s he illustrated works of Russian literature. In 1903 a children’s book, "The Tale of the Golden Cockerel", was published by A. Levenson's fast print partnership. During the same period he also designed posters and programs for the Imperial Theatres, developing a distinctive visual language marked by decorative richness and expressive imagery. Alongside children’s books, Zvorykin designed commemorative and gift editions, festive printed forms for ceremonial banquets, and congratulatory addresses; his series of illustrated postcards are especially well known. He collaborated with prominent artists—including Ivan Bilibin, Viktor Vasnetsov, Konstantin Makovsky, Mikhail Nesterov, and Nicholas Roerich—as well as with art historians and writers. After 1917 he emigrated to France, where he continued his work. In the 1920s–1930s he produced illustrated editions of Russian fairy tales for European publishers. Boris Zvorykin died in Paris in 1942. The Bakhrushin Theatre Museum holds a collection of items designed by Boris Zvorykin, including Imperial Theatres programs and posters, as well as books he illustrated—materials that clearly reflect his individual artistic style.
