Vladimir Vasil´evich Lebedev (1891-1967), Russian graphic artist, painter and illustrator who worked as an art editor for the state publishing house Gosizdat (later Detgiz) from 1924 to 1933. His creative collaboration with poet, author and translator  Samuil Yakovlevich Marshak, who was editor-in-chief, brought together the innovative talents of two extraordinary artists. In 1937 Detgiz was closed down, and many of its authors and editors were arrested and sent to Gulags. Marshak and Lebedev survived, the first made a narrow escape to Moscow, while the latter changed his illustrative style to realistic and never again exhibited as a painter.
