Kozlov, We are on our way to school, singing songs hip and
cool".

192 Pages, 160 colored drawings, format 24 x 18 cm, hardcover.

Ravishing
figures, hilarious stories, tenderest covetousness, wonderfully
whimsical situations. 250 sheets of paper, where the drawings
delicately shine through the reverse side, "illustrated" by texts
(often on both sides). A real treasure, created in secrecy and now
waiting to be lifted. Eros and art are the very subjects that have
accompanied Evgenij Kozlov since early childhood. If you have always
been curious about the dreams of a Soviet adolescent and if you still
wonder what these young people really learned about life, you will
leaf through this album with growing enthusiam. You will make
aquaintance with Rosa, Svetlana, Mila, Olga, Elena, Tatyana and many
other wise, shy or adventurous girls, as well as with maturer women -
they all want to pose for the young artist and, of course, to seduce
him. When you finally get to the last of those 500 pages of the
album, your only desire will be to start once more at page 1. Because
the prodigal lavishness of this work of art offers each regard new
charming details in gestures, glances, clothes, indoor furnishing,
texts. And thus what guides the artist enchants the beholder:
absolute devotion to his subject matter.
