Time to take a good look at some of the painting highlights collected by Igor Savitsky. The man had an eye. Actually, two eyes. Good ones.
Cotton Picking by AA Shpadi. Picking cotton is a major activity in Uzbekistan. It's a complicated history, from Soviet agriculture planning, patriotic bonding over harvesting to child labor problems and the environmental disaster of draining the Aral sea. A bucolic scene with undertones.
A painting by RR Falk, titled At The Square In Samarkand, 1943. The Silk Road, an enduring subject. How about some light refreshment? By The Sea Mari Luiza by K Redko.
Enchanting. Scary. A NI Konisheva painting, titled Portrait of Irina Plamenevskaya.
From 1971, Hunter by NM Nedbaylo. Henri Rousseau gives a nod. Crimson Autumn, 1931, by U Tansiqboyev. Now, Henri Matisse and his fellow fauves give a nod.
Workers of the world unite! Or, at least suffer in the background of the fat capitalists. From 1931 by MI Kurzin, titled, of course, Capital.
