Father and Son. Triptych “Herdsmen”

Description

Author: Aitbayev, Salikhitdin. 1938-1994
A genre landscape composition set against an open steppe with mountains. At the centre stands a man holding a kuruk (a pole with a loop), his gesture directed into the distance; nearby sits another man. In the background are grazing animals. The colour palette combines cool blue and light blue tones with warm ochre, pinkish, and green hues. The painterly manner is generalized, with a flat compositional treatment.
