With March in Moscow hosting Women’s Day and elections, a few themes and curiosities come to mind. Moscow is a great city for art. Fine works by women and depicting women enjoy prominence in all the great galleries and beyond. We offer you a collection of different artworks to savour and stimulate the imagination and reflection. They are pre-revolutionary, Soviet, and recent. To preserve the illusion of a puzzle, I have mixed up the captions, but I am sure you can sort them out easily. Enjoy!

As you live in Moscow, you won’t need telling that what we think we see is often not what is really happening. Some easy optical illusions to amuse you. The flower girl is not there; there are no people shown; which of Escher’s hands is creating the other; there is no triangle; it is not a wedding ring, it might be a Moebius strip; and the triangle cannot exist. Confused? Vote for the optical illusion you like the best. full solutions at www.englishedmoscow.com
