Once again I would like to draw attention to the fact that another year has passed, and our site has now been on air for 5 years!

The last 3 years had been a standstill, since my mother's death, with no further development of this site, except for the part I have promised to you and to myself: my mother's page. I have published illustrations Tatiana Kofyan created for several books and you may see them on About the Author page.

We have started from scratch. My mother, Tatiana, barely knew what Internet was, and I had to learn how to design, publish, operate and manage a web-site as I worked, on the go.

Since then we have changed our web-host provider; altered twice the style and design; learned to properly scan and process the published art; mastered many web-master terms, tricks and secrets; learned new computer programs; discovered rare books and beautiful unfamiliar works; and met a lot of fascinating visitors.

We have published 76 artists! Hundreds of paintings, sculptures, illustrations, theatre designs, posters, porcelain dishes, models and what not are presented here!

For me it has also been a journey of discovery in the art we published, for this is my mother's field, and I'm an Aerospace and Quality Assurance Engineer. Most of the material was totally new to me.

I am very happy to say that the response to our site is constantly growing, which can also be felt in the frequency and number of visitors, - we have hoped for a steady few, and got a torrent. The feedback we get from our visitors is also heartwarming, making all this hard work worthwhile.

I thank all our patient frequenters for their kind praise, their support and their questions, and hope that we get even more feedback in future.

I also thank you all for your infinite patience, that made this great effort worthwhile. I regret that no new information was published lately. I can only hope this would change soon.

Because of the demand, we have decided to publish the work of Pavel Filonov, way ahead of the order of movements. Those who wanted to see his work - this was for you.

So please, continue checking for periodic announcements.
