The artistic and cultural significance of a virtually unknown area of twentieth-century painting finally came to light. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume offers an extensive introduction to Uzbek pictorial culture during the first half of the twentieth century--when the country gained institutional autonomy, as a republic within the Soviet Union--with a focus on the extraordinary artistic experience defined by the authors of this volume as the \u003ci\u003eAvanguardia Orientalis\u003c\/i\u003e. This movement, spanning at least three decades, involved Uzbek, Kazakh, Armenian, Russian, Eastern Russian, Jewish, Siberian, Azerbaijani, and Ukrainian artists. Through their deep commitment to \"dialogue,\" they created an authentic, original, and recognizable language, albeit one expressed with various individual nuances. This book names sixteen key iconographic themes--from caravans to clothing, landscapes to still lifes--each explored through a representative work and a series of comparative studies of pieces by the same artist and their contemporaries. Readers will discover a visual repertoire almost never seen in the West, including paintings housed in Uzbekistan's most important museums as well as rare historical photographs.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGiuseppe Barbieri\u003c\/b\u003e is full professor of Modern Art History at Ca' Foscari University and director of the Center for the Studies of Russian Arts (CSAR). \u003cb\u003eSilvia Burini\u003c\/b\u003e is full professor of Contemporary Art History at Ca' Foscari University in Venice and director of the Center for the Studies of Russian Arts (CSAR).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.74 x 12.92 x 10.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 21, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47506812240125,"sku":"9788891844507","price":107.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/m76C25Aqno9788891844507.webp?v=1778097229","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/uzbekistan-on-canvas-a-visual-history-in-twentieth-century-painting-hardcover","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
