Abram Efros (1888 - 1954) was a proficient of Russian erotic poetry as well as a scholar of art, literature and theater. The sonnets were originally published in 1922, in a small edition of 260 copies. Because of their content and the negative view on this subject by the government, they were not republished until 1993. Andrei Rykovanov (1965 - ) is a master of artistic microminatures, best known for creating a portrait of Leonardo Da Vinci on a grain of rice and other works that have received world record status. He is the founder of the first Russian Museum of Miniatures in the City of Pushkin. This is a beautiful set of microminiatures.
