Young Kazakhs

Description

Author: Aitbayev, Salikhitdin. 1938-1994
A genre multi-figure composition depicting a scene of interaction set against a steppe landscape. At the center stands a male figure, around whom seated and standing figures are grouped. The space recedes into depth through soft hills, on which yurts and human figures are placed, along with moving silhouettes of horses. The color palette is warm and restrained. The painterly manner is decorative, characterized by generalized forms, clear contours, and a flattened treatment, giving the composition unity and a symbolic character.
