Modelling the dialogue between visual portrait of the writer and artistic world of his works (on Perm book)

In the article an attempt is undertaken to research one of the aspects of interaction of visual and verbal aspects of the book as a unit of synthesis. The research is devoted to the multilateral and multivariate dialogue between the portrait, depicting the writer (a photograph, drawing, etc.) and the published literary works (in the unity of form and content). The typological criteria for modelling this dialogue are identified; the most interesting and representative, from the point of view of the author of the article, samples of the Perm book are regarded. In the course of the analysis the choice of the criteria is clarified; the role of the artist-illustrator in the interpretation of the image of the author and other forms of the author's self-expression in various literary genres is grounded.
