print

Not Your Usual Art Show. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin featured in 69 informal portraits. Visitors are flocking to this unusual merry exhibition. All smile at the sight of Mr Putin kissing a horse on the nose in one photograph, walking through a wheat field with an angry face in another, dancing in a circle with old ladies in ethnic costumes in a third, and playing a ball game in a formal suit in a fourth.

Not Your Usual Art Show

Prime Minister Vladimir Putin featured in 69 informal portraits.

Visitors are flocking to this unusual merry exhibition. All smile at the sight of Mr Putin kissing a horse on the nose in one photograph, walking through a wheat field with an angry face in another, dancing in a circle with old ladies in ethnic costumes in a third, and playing a ball game in a formal suit in a fourth.

Other, no less amusing photos portray George Bush, Jacques Chirac, Nicolas Sarkozy and Viktor Yushchenko.

"All leave the show in the best of moods, and all admire the photographers' craftsmanship and non-standard view of the many-sided personality that is Mr Putin," Art Centre Director Olga Lustenko told Rossiiskaya Gazeta.
