From the dust jacket: For nearly 60 years, two renowned artist-brothers have painted together, often on the same canvas, chronicling one of history's most dramatic periods through the eyes of Russian villages and telling their nation's stories as they lived it under Communism, perestroika and the current system as it struggles toward democracy. These are scenes of collective happiness and collective farms; of gorgeous landscapes and ravaged faces; of tremendous joy and overwhelming tragedy. Nearly two dozen photographs from their personal album acquaint the reader with people and major events from their earliest years. Published in conjunction with an exhibition in Moscow of both brothers' art in celebration of Sergei Petrovich Tkachev's 80th birthday.
