The large-scale exhibition project "Uzbekistan: Avant-Garde in the Desert" continues at the State Museum of Arts named after I.V. Savitsky. This exhibition has been displayed in galleries and exhibition halls across Italy for the past six months.

One of the most striking works in the exhibition is the famous "Northern Lights" by Alexey Rybnikov (pictured right), depicting a rare celestial glow in winter, when snow turns shades of red and yellow. Rybnikov, who studied under the founder of the avant-garde movement "Luchism" Mikhail Larionov, succeeded in portraying this natural phenomenon in a way that resembles a festive fireworks display. Later, the artist would become a frequent participant in northern expeditions, the themes of which would be reflected in his subsequent works.

The "Uzbekistan: Avant-Garde in the Desert" exhibition will continue at the State Museum of Arts named after I.V. Savitsky until January 15, 2025.
