Master of Chamber Psychological Portraits David Vladimirovich Kheidze

As a master of the chamber psychological portrait, David Vladimirovich Kheidze laid the foundation for the development of easel and monumental sculpture in southern Kyrgyzstan. Possessing a solid professional background and a realistic vision of form, the sculptor primarily emerged as a master of the chamber psychological portrait.

Portrait Sculptor A. Mukhtudinov

The sculptor A. Mukhtudinov primarily established himself as a portrait artist. Easily capturing the likeness of his subjects, he was somewhat constrained by academic training in his early works. Pieces such as "People's Artist of the USSR M. Ryskulov" (1964, plastic) and "Portrait of Geologist Adyshev" (1967, wood) are executed with professional skill, but rather dryly, without revealing the artist's personal relationship to the portrayed. However, in some

The Versatility of the Portrait Artist V. Shestopal

The portrait occupies an important place in the work of V. Shestopal. The main direction here is the psychological portrait, revealing significant traits of a person's character and their belonging to the Soviet era. Among the portraits of workers, which are not equal in artistic merit, there are less figurative works, such as "Portrait of Abdykadyrov M., a lathe operator at the M. V. Frunze factory" (1984, metal), "Portrait of Akilbaeva A., a worker at the Frunze woolen

A Unique Master of Portraits 3. Khabibulin

A distinctive master of portrait is 3. Khabibulin. His portraits are characterized by compositional and plastic variety, precision in conveying the emotional states of the subject. As a rule, the representativeness of the model does not matter to him. Often, his portraits are nameless, or their names add nothing to what the sculptural form itself conveys. They are appealing due to the subtle flow of the emotional life of the portrayed and less often due to an elaborated psychological

Portrait Creativity of Turgunbay Sadikov

The extensive and vividly original portrait art of Turgunbai Sadykov captures the social and spiritual atmosphere of modern Kyrgyzstan. Through images of strong, integral characters—talented individuals known for their labor achievements, scientific or artistic endeavors—the artist affirms the significance of a personality shaped under socialism, embodying a high social and moral ideal. From his early works in sculptural portraiture, characterized by narrative quality and meticulously crafted

Sculptural Portrait

Sculptural Portrait. The art of portraiture in Kyrgyz plastic art of the 1960s to 1980s, its noticeable evolution towards the complexity of the plastic image of a person, is associated with a new level of social development of the individual in our country, the growth of national self-awareness, and attention to the individual. In the field of portraiture, masters of the older generation continued to work, creating a number of remarkable images of their contemporaries. Among them is the

Tash Kordo — a Favorite Dish of Ancient Hunters

No vodka or vinegar It is a well-known fact that Kyrgyz people are very fond of meat. They don't need bread, as long as there is meat on the table. A lot of meat. There is a popular saying about this: do not tell the host that you have slaughtered a whole ram until you bring the ram's head to the dastarkhan (a traditional table). And the descendants of Manas the Generous consumed this protein-rich product in immeasurable quantities, I must say, not in a banal way. With feeling, with

Inimitable and Unique Kyrgyz National Cuisine

Kyrgyz Dishes. In folk tales and songs, as well as in epics, there are often mentions of this. The base of naryn is finely chopped meat. Mountain onions, garlic, and broth were also added to it. All of this was thoroughly mixed and served without a side dish. Later, the Kyrgyz supplemented this dish with noodles. As a result, it acquired a humorous name - beshbarmak (which literally translates to "five fingers," as it was eaten with hands). Kyrgyz national cuisine is unique and

The Culture of Nutrition Among the Kyrgyz Has a Deep History

The food culture of the Kyrgyz has a deep history. The formation of its main ethno-cultural features occurred in parallel with the development of the entire culture of the Kyrgyz people over several millennia and is closely linked to the general processes of the establishment and development of the nomadic civilization of Eurasia. The traditional food system of the Kyrgyz represents a variant of the general Turkic-Mongolian food system based on the economic and cultural type of nomadic animal
