Atalanta's Race A Greek Myth

Alexander Koshkin began drawing when he was 3 years old, and from that moment on it was clear that he would be an artist. He began working as a children's book illustrator while still a student, and once the USSR began to open up more as a society, he was among the first illustrators in the country to begin to cooperate with foreign publishers, in Britain and the US. "Alexander Koshkin's illustrations, painted in the watercolor technique are characterized by the elegant precise drawing [and] picturesque usage of tender and diaphanous colours ... Spacious, extensions, varicoloured manner of drawing established in A.A. Koshkin's works. His touch is akin to painting with its immense possibilities of depiction, where the circumstance[s] of printing don't get in the artist's way... [It] is important to mark that in his works A.A. Koshkin doesn't indulge a child's naivety - in a child he sees future, miscellaneous grown-up."Climo, Shirley is the author of 'Atalanta's Race A Greek Myth' with ISBN 9780618051540 and ISBN 0618051546.
