AN EXHIBITION DEDICATED TO THE NEW ACADEMIC YEAR OPENED IN ASHGABAT

On the eve of the new school year, the State Museum of Fine Arts has opened an exhibition of paintings by Turkmen artists. The museum's storerooms contain many paintings dedicated to this topic. Among them are iconic ones, without which no exhibition on the occasion of the Day of Knowledge and Student Youth can do. Among such paintings is the work of Pyotr Tutinasov «Tomorrow to School».

In front of the audience, a girl, inspired by the upcoming event, carefully irons an apron for her school uniform. She has already prepared a school bag with textbooks. The girl is in a great mood - tomorrow she will meet her classmates, whom she missed so much during the summer holidays. Over time, school uniforms change, instead of school bags, students carry backpacks, but the festive feeling of the beginning of the school year remains unchanged.

And in the work of Yevgeniya Adamova, the first of September has already arrived. The painting in which a mother gets her daughter ready for first grade is called «1st of September». The first-grader's brother and sister, as well as a neighbour from the house across the street, which is depicted in the background of the painting, take part in this unforgettable event.

The theme: «Teacher» is revealed in the works of Muzafar Daneshvar and Yakup Annanurov. Their canvases depict intelligent young specialists who open the way to the world of knowledge for children. Teachers not only teach children the basics of science, but also raise them to be worthy citizens of the country. The sculpture of one of such specialists by Babasary Annamyradov «Our Village Teacher» has been captivating viewers with its charm for many years. The sculptor kept the image of his teacher for many years and sculpted a fragile figure of an elderly man as a sign of gratitude for the knowledge that he gave to his numerous students.

The famous painting by Ayhan Hajyyev «The First Teacher» takes us back to the distant times of the fight against illiteracy. The first teacher, overcoming the hot desert, delivered school supplies to a remote village. Years and decades pass, but the heroism of an obsessed enthusiast still causes admiration.

Visitors linger for a long time near the painting «Exam» by Bayram Hojammayev. The author managed to convey the atmosphere of excitement in which students find themselves before an exam. And yet, despite such extreme moments, student life is the best time in life.

The exhibition also features Suvly Yaranov's painting «Parthian Youth». Young men and a girl hover above the ground, touching the clouds with their hands - this is the current generation of the Turkmen people, who have a rich ancient history.
