Lilacs
Pictures by Mikhail Vrubel
Mikhail Vrubel's Lilacs of 1900 fills the cover with a great bank of lilac blossom in violet and silver on a summer night. Vrubel, the leading Russian Symbolist, built his paintings from crystal-like facets of colour, so the flowers seem to glow like jewels. For someone who loves flowers and fine painting.
