Biographical history
Marjory Baillon, ?-2000, and her husband, Mr. Baillon, lived in Brazil from 1937 until 1946. They became close friends with Vladimir Kozak, 1897-1979, who was born in Czecholslovakia. Kozak was trained as an engineer and artist and undertook many photographic and painting expeditions among Amazon natives. Most of his Amazonian collection is held by the Glenbow Museum due to Kozak's association with Boris Malkin, a Glenbow field collector. Marjory later married Mr. Bryson. Kozak retired to Curitiba, Brazil.
