Art Pieces as the Companion to Your Reading

Here, we have a collection of art pieces, most of which were found on the art blog deviantart.com, that should only serve as a tool to your own imagination as you read or have read The Master and Margarita. We specifically chose open-ended renditions of the book so that we would not impose on what your imagination has drawn inside your wonderful, creative minds by reading Bulgakov's masterpiece. Feel free to look through and enjoy glimpses into other readers' imaginations, but also don't forget how you imagined Woland or the apartment, because those renditions should forever be what you take with you.

Book Covers

Well, just one. But, the Jan Vonhellemont site has an excellent collection of Dutch, Russian, English, French, etc. book covers quite like this Penguin Classics one.

Photograph of Master and Margarita

 
An interesting interpretation of the Master and Margarita. It reminds me of right after the evocation of the Master, and he is still timid, broken, cold like a statue, while Margarita tries to soothe him with her tenderness.
