    "There are people whose feelings are so sharp and refined that by merely touching an object they can see its color, its nuances invisible to the eye. Mila Gokhman feels this way. More than that, her creations are her self-portrait. Incomprehensibly but amazingly, they absorb her image and her spiritual world."

    Includes article by Mila Gokhman, "Leather Jewelry,"pages 33-34. See Statements section of this website.
    " She was a pioneer-discoverer of a number of directions in artistic leather processing, which today seem natural to us. The artist made a fundamentally new language, not borrowed from anyone, and developed a range of things that spoke this language. In addition to the usual exquisite leather utensils (cases, book covers), in addition to the usual leather bags and belts, Mila Gokhman came up with elegant jewelry: bracelets, pendants, brooches, rings. Not satisfied with this, she tried to reveal the decorative possibilities of leather in the panel, the unusualness of which can be compared only with their complexity. The composer works with tender attentiveness to every small piece of skin, every bend, every shade of color. And this attitude, not the value of the material, turns her work into a jewel." V. Volpina

    " For the sake of absolute expression of thought, she turns to different types of art. At the junction of applied and fine art she finds her own language, develops her own direction."

    "Mila Gokhman’s resistance against the Soviet system was never in any way political. ... [She] stood against the system in much more substantial ways than authors of popular brochures and tracts, because she chose opposition of a different level and meaning – a spiritual opposition.... Under the conditions of Soviet life, when the principles of Socialist realism were mandatory, even the names of Mila’s panels -- Eye of the Universe, Symphony, Spheres -- looked criminal. Choosing philosophical abstraction required courage, daring and persistence."
