"Tatyana Mavrina's album "Gorodets Folk Painting" contains the finest specimens of the work of the old Gorodets craftsmen. The arrangement of the material is not strictly chronological but is based on the author's personal view of folk art. Tatyana Mavrina, an artist in her own right, draws the reader into a world of images where past and present blend." (from dust jacket text)
