Signed Photo of Alexander Luria given to Karl
Karl worked and Sokolov worked during the high Soviet period with the famous neuropsychologist Alexander Romanovich Luria. Below are images from a book on Russian Palekh art during the Soviet era given to Karl by Alexander Luria & Eugene Sokolov. (Note from Katherine: I used these Palekh enamel folk paintings as clues in The Fire, sequel to The Eight!)
