  • NADİR AKHUNDOV

    Nadir Akhundov was born in 1925 in the ancient city of Nakhchivan, which has raised many talented generations for centuries, has a rich and generous nature, and is known for its geographical landscape.

    This land, which is famous for its mighty mountains and magnificent gardens, is known for its architectural monuments, especially the pearl of Azerbaijani architecture, Mümine Hatun monument.

    It is not surprising that Behruz Kengerli, the founder of the professional fine arts of Azerbaijan, was born here and created the first pearls of Azerbaijani art.

    Nadir Akhundov memorized and loved the beautiful landscapes he had seen all his life since childhood, and an irresistible desire arose in him to put them into colour.

    These incredible feelings, which triggered the enchanting beauty of nature to instantly pour on paper and canvas, would also help others to enjoy its magic.

    Love and interest in art brings Nadir Ahundov to the Leningrad Art school.

    Here he grasps the basics of art and works on easel painting and graphics.

    However, it was fortunate for the young artist to study for only 3 years. The war, like millions of other people, spoiled all his plans.

    Putting his brush aside for a moment, the young man took up arms. The difficult years of the war were a difficult test for him, almost the university of life.

    Nadir Akhundov was a persistent and courageous artist.

    He stubbornly and patiently studied the genres and techniques of fine art and created many interesting works of painting, graphics and linography.

    Bahlulzadeh Died On October 14, 1974 In Moscow. He Was Buried In The Village Of Amirjan And His Mausoleum Was Erected.

    Settar Behlülzade, The Great Master Of Azerbaijani Painting, As A Nature Lover, Could Hear The Living Breath Of The Language Of Nature And Skillfully Transferred It To The Canvas. It Is Possible To Encounter Original, Perhaps Fantastic, Landscapes In Each Of Settar's Nature Landscapes. Because He Synthesized His Impressions From What He Saw In Nature With His Own Emotions And Imagination, And Was Able To Create His Own School With His Unique Approach. In The Early 1970s, The Artist, Who Took A Completely Different Direction, Moved Further Away From The Realistic Transfer Of Nature And Started To Increase His Search For Color, Emotion And Harmony. In His Works After The 1970s, Behlülzade, While Not Breaking Away From Impressionism, Entered A New Phase Integrating With The Compositional Setup And Color Refinement Peculiar To Azerbaijani Miniatures. Now, It Can Be Seen That The Generalizations And Allegorical Expression Arising From The Fusion Of Some Traditional Elements From The Azerbaijani Landscape And Culture, Rather Than Any Natural Appearance, Come To The Fore In His Paintings.

    TOGRUL NARİMANBEKOV

    Togrul Narimanbekov, one of the greatest Azerbaijani painters was recognized early in his own lifetime as a supremely great painter, and his reputation has in the intervening years never suffered a decline.

    Togrul Narimanbekov was born on August 7 in 1930 to a respected family from the town of Shusha in Karabakh. Togrul’s father, Yaqub Farman bey, was one of the students sent to study abroad by the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic in 1919. Yaqub studied engineering in Toulouse, where he met and married Togrul’s mother, Irma, a young Frenchwoman from Gascony.

    They returned to Azerbaijan, but Yaqub was arrested during Stalin’s terror on 31 December 1937, on charges of espionage. Irma, Togrul and his brother Vidadi were exiled to the historic city of Samarkand in Uzbekistan.

    His father was released after completing his sentence and the family was allowed to move back to Azerbaijan, but not to Baku. They lived in Mingachevir until 1956 when his father was rehabilitated under Khruschev and the family could return to the capital.

    Togrul Narimanbekov studied at the Azim Azimzade School of Art in Baku, then at the Lithuanian Higher School of Art in Vilnius where he described the education as ‘global in content’.

    The first picture "Dawn over the Caspian", created in 1957, and presented at the exhibition in Moscow, made him famous. The painting fascinated art lovers with an unconventional approach to the topic of work, a romantic uplift, distinctive individual pictorial language, sincerity and intimacy of the captured images.

    His triumph continued at exhibitions abroad. The "Dawn over the Caspian" followed by other works, including "All the farther into the sea," "Overpass," "Stronger than the storm".

    The master of brush gained worldwide fame for his works in all genres of fine arts. His bright works created in various fields such as landscapes, portraits, monumental paintings, illustrations and theater painting are characterized by genre diversity, aesthetic perfection and a unique style.

    Togrul Narimanbekov loved to paint very large canvases and murals, some of which can be seen at the State Puppet Theatre and Parliament in Baku. He also designed sets for ballets by Azerbaijani composers and did a magnificent set of illustrations for a 1988 edition of the Turkic epic The Book of Dada Qorqud.

    Togrul Narimanbekov synthesized East and West in his works, combining the decorativeness of eastern miniatures with the intellectuality of western art.

    He always admired French Romanticism, while his favorite artists were Eugène Delacroix and Gustave Courbet. Cézannism also played an important role in his artistic career.

    However, the rich traditions of Azerbaijani art played an important role in Narimanbekov’s paintings, which are defined by their vibrant color, bold brushstrokes and impasto. One can describe Narimanbekov’s drawings as a fairy tale, inviting one to a far away wonderland.

    Despite the pressures on Soviet artists to conform to Socialist Realism, he remained true to his own expressive, emotional style.

    The leitmotif of the works of Togrul Narimanbekov was his great love for his native country. With special tenderness and trembling he drew the Old City, the Maiden Tower, minarets of ancient mosques.

    The rich traditions of Azerbaijani art, samples of antique miniatures and carpet weaving played a great role in the development of Togrul Narimanbekov, as a great master.

    People of creative work, poets, writers, artists, creators of Azerbaijan’s culture are subjects of Narimanbekov’s portraits. Externally simple and unpretentious, they are full of inspiration, desire and ability to create.

    The activity of Togrul Narimanbekov has affected formation of artistic and aesthetic vision of several artists’ generation. Being a wonderful school for young artists with a rich heritage, he played an important role in the formation of their professionalism.

    One of the biggest achievements of the artist is his contribution to the creation of Azerbaijani classical painting, helping the country to define its cultural identity and originality.

    Togrul Narimanbekov received many awards throughout his life. He became a People’s Artist of the Azerbaijan SSR in 1967 and received the state prizes of the Azerbaijan SSR and USSR. National Leader Heydar Aliyev conferred on him the Azerbaijan Republic’s Order of Independence (Istiqlal) in 2000, and President Ilham Aliyev the Order of Honour (Sharaf) in 2010.

    The prominent artist died in 2013 at the age of 83 in Paris, leaving behind an astounding long legacy in contemporary art.

    The artist's daughter, Asmar Narimanbekova, also devoted herself to the art.

    Asmar Narimanbekova's works are featured in many prestigious galleries and museums not only in Azerbaijan, but also in America, France, Germany, Poland, Russia, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Finland, and China.
