Today The Karakalpakstan State Museum Of Art Now Holds One Of The Largest Collections Of This Art, And This Volume Shows A Particularly Unique Part Of The Collection. Known As Avante-Garde Orientalist Art, It Shows Work Made Between 1910-1930 From Artists Who Have Travelled Or Moved To Uzbekistan, Discovering The Region’S Culture, Colours, Light, Landscapes And Architecture. Rather Than Simply Being Seen As Instruments Of State Propaganda, They Maintained Their Integrity As Real Artists And Their Captivating Work Can Be Explored In This Stunning Book.
