A new exhibition called "Winnie the Pooh and All, All, All," features artworks by Vladimir Zuikov and Eduard Nazarov, who worked together on animated films of children's classics including the A.A. Milne books, which were loosely translated into Russian by Boris Zakhoder. Among the exhibits at Na Solyanke Gallery are book illustrations by the two artists and storyboards from their films. The photograph by Vladimir Filonov shows Nazarov's model based on the folk tale "The Speckled Hen," about a hen that lays a golden egg.
