MOSCOW. An exhibition dedicated to the memory of the People’s Artist of Tajikistan Khushbakht Khushvakhtov was solemnly opened in the exhibition hall of the building of the Moscow-City complex on June 19.

A Tajik artist, who passed away in March 2013, received a professional art education at the Moscow Institute named after Surikov, who graduated in 1960. After his graduation, Khushbakht Khushvakhtov worked as a teacher for a year at an art school in the capital of the republic, the city of Dushanbe.

Then, starting in 1961, he was the permanent chairman of the Union of Artists of the Republic of Tajikistan. Khushvakhtov is a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Arts.

The opening exhibition, which presents paintings created by Khushbakht Khushvakhtov in different years of his creative life, was organized by his relatives with the help of the International Law Faculty (Moscow University of Finance and Law). Most of the paintings that made up the exhibition are dedicated to the artist’s native land - the mountainous Pamir.

The painter extremely sincerely depicted the life of Tajikistan’s mountain villages well known to him, the amazingly beautiful landscapes of mountain peaks, the homes of the mountaineers, comfortably located on the mountain slopes and in picturesque valleys.

The opening ceremony was attended by many admirers of talent Khushbakht Khushvakhtov, among whom were not only his friends, relatives and colleagues, but also representatives of the Tajik community of the capital. The guests of the exhibition were welcomed by the press attache of the RT Embassy Muhammad Egamzot.

In his speech, the embassy representative said that the display of paintings by a Tajik painter in a high-rise building in Moscow underlines the connection with the peaks of the Pamirs, which became an inexhaustible source of inspiration for Khushbakht Khushvakhtov.
