The artist-designer Konstantin Mishin, working at the Trans-Caspian Museum in the early 20th century, transferred the beauty of Turkmen nature onto canvas. Despite the fact that some of his works are now 120 years old, their colors do not fade and impress with a play of multiple shades. The artist's landscapes glorify the nature of the homeland, corners of native land, mountain peaks and picturesque valleys are pleasant to his soul.
The exhibition also presents the works of artists N.B.Terpsikhorov (1890-1960), K.A.Vyalov (1900-1976), who traveled to our country in the 1930s and conveyed on their canvases the everyday life of a working man. Ivan Cherinko (1908-1948) made a significant contribution to the development of fine arts. His painting "Cotton Pickers" portrays a bright image of a hardworking Turkmen woman in the vast cotton field.
