"The quality certificate"
(On materials of the press after an exit of an album of photopainting of Jury Tosik "Touch" in July, 1995 )

The album of pictorialist J.Tosik was published marvellous beauty - "a leader of the Soviet sensuality" as there is no time frosty drawing on glass … Behind a paling of white birches - a white, gentle, free female body - as if a part of this magnificent beauty … wrote "Penthauz" … the Russian woods and coppices, butterflies in free flight,

… Here it in hands, a magnificent album in two hundred fifty pages, the best paper, texts in Russian and in English, the gift edition which will be noticed at any exhibition … Each branch in the hoarfrost, each gold sheet on a footpath, each caterpillar on a small stalk, each woman leaving the nature and leaving in it as if would shout to us from any of album pages: "People, lovely, look back, glad lives, be glad to the country in which we live!.

… to Tell, that Jury Tosik's album about a sensuality, ridiculously and silly. It all the same what to tell, as if "the Old man and the sea" Hemingueja - about fishing in coastal waters.
The artist with a camera seriously professes, that the woman - the most perfect, most perfect creation of the Nature.

… Mind Russia not to understand. It is good, that is more and more the bases in it to believe … Only the one who believes in the future, it is capable to publish such books … In Jury Tosik's book love to Russia on each page. The author declares nothing - but "Touch" of rare force the declaration … Who wants, sees around disintegration and disorder who wants - the country perfect, mysterious and infinitely kind.

… Only a high class the pictorialist whom the Moscow writer and naturalist Jury Tosik is, could show beauty in connection with spirituality. It is felt in Jury's each picture. Perhaps, this most difficult. Who from photographers does not remove today "obnazhenku"? But only units work creatively, in own way … the Knights and courage are inherent in Jury. They and in words about you, women: "Those whom I photograph, completely not necessarily should be the conventional beauties. For me the main thing - to open beauty of each woman, not only corporal, but also spiritual.

The newspaper "Culture", №36, on September, 16th:
"LOOK BACK, LOOK BACK, AND WE WILL LOOK AT YOU …"

So tsar Solomon exclaimed, as is known, to embody beloved Sulamif in the opinion of the. What a pity, that was not at it then in hands of the camera loaded by a film "kodak" … It was necessary to the tsar to compose "the Song of songs".
Good Russian writer Jury Tosik somehow too was dumbfounded from female beauty. He, of course, could write, probably, something similar. But Jury has got then a camera and began to remove the Perfect Lady on slides. Pictures have turned out magnificent … There was a present photomaster about what many readers of its stories and stories at all do not suspect. And it, take a word, the author magnificent and unique to "a photosong of songs".
However, why "on a word"? Its big picture album "Touch" … Recently has gone on sale
Beautiful women to remove nude, all the same where - on a wood glade or in a close room - it is fraught, as is known, with different consequences. When more twenty years ago Jury began these to be engaged seriously, overcoming imperfection of optics and a film, him could arrest simply, understand, for what. In those days, naturally, neither top models, nor competitions "Miss Universe", the newspaper "Still", and even sex about what one lady has exclaimed somehow in a despair on TV, at us and in pomine was not. Now all it, the truth, is. But here with Jury Tosik's photocreativity not absolutely, I will tell fairly, it is interfaced. Though its many jobs are frankly erotic.
It not to explain words. More and more time re-read that, composed the millenium ago "the Song of songs" from the Bible. Well to what lapidarny comparisons, obryvochny the phrases, everywhere as though one dots … But what hot wave covers you when you read such, for example, lines: 
"… Golubitsa washing, pure mine … the Rounding off of your hips as a necklace, a handwork of the skilful artist … Two nipples yours as two kids of twins of chamois … This your camp is similar to a palm tree, and your breasts on grape brushes … As you are perfect as it is attractive, a beloved …".
Similar excitement covers, when consider Tosik's pictures. And how it was possible to it? Yes, the perfected technics, ability to squeeze out of the chamber, a film, an enlarger and photographic paper everything, on what they are capable today in hands of the professional, the person with rich imagination and, I would tell, "cultural memory". 
After all him inspired and samples of world and domestic art inspire. Well and the secrets of creativity, it is final …
The picture album "Touch" has absorbed only a little bit from this, that is saved up in photogranaries of the artist and the writer for decades. Set of jobs wait publications, stands at exhibitions. And shootings 
Proceed …

Despite of an abundance of newly appeared film festivals and various exhibitions-sales, it is necessary to notice, that these actions more and more commercial and besides hastily made to a thicket call participants and spectators feeling of a healthy dissatisfaction. Partly it and is clear - very few people is ready to put up money without firm guarantees of fast return. And it is not enough at whom they in general is - these "circulating assets". Therefore it is especially pleasant, that last month in capital Red chambers, that on Ostozhenka, there was a presentation of an erotic picture album of Jury Tosik "Touch" …
The author - the prose writer, the author of ten books. Though the succeeding writer during stagnant times it was not and according to its friend Leonid Zhuhovitskogo lived literally in beggarly conditions, spending modest enough fees on expensive (then) colour photographing. And in this business has succeeded. Anyway its jobs (it is high-quality slides more often) were highly appreciated in world famous "Playboy". It was at Gorbachev. And to it the photographer-writer risked and is serious enough, removing "obnazhenku" …
And nevertheless it removed and removed it is a lot of. It to put it mildly. In its collection more than hundred thousand slides with 250th models … To told it is necessary to add, that the picture album is made at very good level though and not at Finns or Czechs, and at our Mozhaisk printers, well and the author continues to work over new pictures. And as it at it turns out it is possible to see from the jobs kindly given by the author.

… Slowly looking through picture album pages, I calmed down and revered, feeling inflow of any light sincere energy and deep pleasure. And here the noisy human and automobile crowd is already forgotten at all, left behind a bookshop door, vanity momentary has receded, the list of impassable cares of day was erased in memory, and through turmoil and melteshenie lives has appeared, something was felt the inexplicable main thing, light, high …
"Touch" - a quivering, pure, gentle pray, a chaste hymn to the nature and its wreath - the woman …
At Tosik the nature world - the most ancient and a beauty perennial spring, the main place in which it is taken away to the woman, under the form sensual, in essence - innocent, personifying spiritual and physical perfection …
It is the antimilitaristic book, - the officer-friend, attentively having seen 255 pages of "Touch" has told to me. - If our politicians and generals have looked at this marvellous beauty of a life, they would destroy all weapon on a planet and would disperse on houses - to raise gardens, flowers, children ….
