"Twice estranged from his native
Russia -- first as a forced laborer in Germany in World War II, then as
a postwar emigrant who settled in Sea Cliff in 1952 -- Mr. Ilachinski
uses art to express a spiritual connection to his homeland." - from
a review by the New York Times of an exhibition of Sam Ilachinski's art
at Adelphi University's Art Gallery Center, Garden City, NY
(June - August 2000)
