Interesting, Steven, how that bottom painting shows it can be found @www.russianpaintings.net ... wonder if his work was appropriated by the Russians. (?) I like this artist. Look like oils.

hi goldenrod - yeah i like this work too. a strong presence can be found at the rijksmuseum in amsterdam which i visited as a teenager in the early seventies. i have no doubt that some of his work is in russia. a lot of amazing pieces are stored or on display in the hermitage, among other places.
