BETWEEN EAST AND WEST: RECEPTION OF ARTISTIC TRADITIONS IN UZBEK PAINTING, 1970S–1980S
Abstract
This article examines how Eastern and Western artistic traditions were received in Uzbek painting of the 1970s–1980s through the case of Javlon Umarbekov. It traces the formation of a new artistic idiom in which Eastern miniature and the heritage of Central Asian cultures intersect with Western modernist currents. The argument is that reception functioned as a structuring principle of cultural dialogue, as demonstrated through close readings of key works.
