Imagine: an artist depicts cemeteries with a brush and a word....Sounds promising?There is no phantasmagoria, only science and poetry of the necropolis in Alexandra Merezhnikova's book. In the format of historical notes, the author talks about things that concern every person: about love and death. And, of course, he does not forget about architecture.Would you dare to embark on this terrifyingly beautiful visual journey to find out:- Why is a flying sphinx in a cemetery in Paris covered in lipstick from kisses?- Which American cemetery hosts annual tribute concerts?- Why did the government and the media ignore Vysotsky's passing?And if the existence of sunken and space memorials is not a secret, what would you say about cemeteries on the Internet?..Alexandra Merezhnikova is an illustrator, designer, drawing teacher, tattoo artist and designer of more than 15 books.
