A COLOGNE BOTTLE BY MALEVICH", ARTKHRONIKA magazine, #5-6, pages 100-110, Moscow, Russia, Autumn-Winter 2008).<br /><br />If you are interested in this topic and you wish to submit an article or information message, more detailed information you will found on the website 43info.com or go to direct link: http://www.43info.com/kazimir_malevich_bottle_cologne_severny <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
