Art of Maria Kazanskaya
Kazanskaya's electronic gallery is maintained by her husband Dmitiri Manin who graciously provided images for this article. All of the images remain copyright by Maria Kazanskaya, and rights are reserved as detailed on her web site.
This article is quite long, and contains many images which take time to download. Accordingly it is broken up into sections. Each one has a bar at the top labeling each section - and at the bottom a bar labeled previous and next. You may wish to turn automatic loading of images off if you are on a slow connection - and then click on the space for an image as you need it, so that you can begin reading immediately.
