Simon Kozhin
Illustration for the Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Rapunzel"

2023

About the Item

In 2023, after 20 years, he returned to the illustrations of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Rapunzel". I wanted to write a couple of stories from a fairy tale, although the series had already been conventionally formed and was published both in books and magazines. I chose this plot of the meeting between the witch with Rapunzel’s cut off braid and the prince in the tower, before he turns out to be blind at the bottom of the tower where the girl was imprisoned. I decided to portray the witch as not scary or elderly. Since appearance in this context is not so important.The plot of the fairy tale itself is, of course, a metaphor, an allegorical language as a prototype of relationships in society, sometimes in the family, a set of behavior patterns, hidden meanings and conflicts of interest. In real life, this leads to sad consequences. At the same time, in a fairy tale, the end is most often the victory of good over evil, which does not always happen in life.
