Khatai Arts Center has pleased its visitors with a corner of
miniatures, Azernews reports citing the center.
Along with works of modern Azerbaijani artists, the corner of
miniatures exhibits samples of the ancient schools of Qajar,
Tabriz, Mughal, Gashgay, Herat, Isfahan and Samarkand.
The project was organized with the support of the Culture
Ministry, Azerbaijan Artists’ Union and the State Art Gallery.
Note that Khatai Arts Center aims to create a different
exposition by constantly renewing the corner based on the principle
of “one work from one artist”.
Azerbaijani miniature art, which constitutes an interesting and
rich part of the art of the peoples of the Near and Middle East,
occupies a special place in the history of world art, and is
included in the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural
Heritage.
The art of miniatures is considered as an integral part of the
social and cultural identity of the societies of the states that
represent it.
Each miniature work contributes to the preservation of
historical and cultural heritage, strengthens cultural ties between
past and present, and acts as a historical document with rich
visual content reflecting traditional architecture, rituals,
cultural events and many other areas of everyday life.
