Some years ago, there was a small Russian restaurant in the West Village; I think it's name was Tovarish (I'm no longer sure of the spelling). It was decorated with paintings based on Russian folk tales by an artist I believe lived in Brooklyn (possibly Brighton Beach, but I'm not sure). The restaurant is long gone, and so is the connection to the art. Does anyone know who that artist was? I've been trying to identify him for a long time, unsuccessfully.
interesting topic..you have...thanks
