Evgeny Mikhailovich Rachev - Russian and Soviet animal painter, graphic artist, illustrator.

He spent his childhood in Siberia in the family of his grandfather. After the end of the civil war, he made his way across the country to the south to Novorossiysk. He worked as a loader in the port.

In 1928 he graduated with honors from the Kuban Art and Pedagogical College, then studied for a short time in Kiev at the Art Institute, since 1930 he began to collaborate in various publishing houses as an illustrator. His book illustrations were noticed, and E. Rachev was invited to work in Moscow in the first state publishing house of books for children, created in 1932, Detgiz .

Evgeny Rachev studied first at the Kuban Art and Pedagogical College, where he passed a good school of academic drawing, and then at the printing faculty of the Kiev Art Institute. Here, in Kiev, his first illustrations were published. They felt the strong influence of the famous masters of children's books V. Lebedev and E. Charushin, but gradually, in the process of hard work, Rachev finds his own style of drawing. His book illustrations were noticed, and Evgeny Rachev was invited to Moscow to work in a children's publishing house - Detgiz.

An important moment in his creative biography was the design of the books by V. Ioganson "Wild Ducks" and V. Bianchi "Where the crayfish winter". In them Rachev's vocation as an artist-storyteller and animal painter was finally defined. Later Rachev illustrated works by M. Prishvin, D. Mamin-Sibiryak, fables by I. Krylov and S. Mikhalkov, fairy tales of many peoples of the world. In the 1960s, after the creation of the Detsky Mir publishing house , he became the main artist and worked for it for almost 20 years.
