Abdullaev, Mikail Huseyn (19 December 1921, Baku - 21 August 2002, Baku)
Painter and graphic artist, folk artist of the USSR (1963), corresponding member AH the USSR (1958). CPSU member since 1954, academician, member of the USSR Academy of Arts, winner of the International Prize. Nehru, State Prize Laureate of the Azerbaijan SSR, winner of the Lenin Prize, winner of the Order «İstiqlaliyy-t» sovereign Azerbaijan, Soviet Orders: Lenin, the October Revolution, Friendship of Peoples.
"Mikail Abdullayev was born in Baku. Graduated in 1939, Azerbaijan art school, and in 1949 - Moscow Art Institute Surikov (studied with SV Gerasimov). And here are already talking about his unusual, bright talent. Another student, he pointed to the All-Union Exhibition in Moscow, his first painting "Evening," in which - a big, complicated the architecture, multi-figure compositions - conveyed a sense of returning to normal, peaceful life of the first postwar years.
His works have been exhibited in Leytspige, Berlin, Madrid, Milan, Kyoto, New Delhi, his works are kept in the Tretyakov Gallery, Dresden Art Gallery, many museums and private collections in the world, they were decorated subway station Nizami, Hotel Absheron "palace" Gulistan ", which pictures krasuyutya on the first page of the catalog of the world alongside such names as Botticelli, Cezanne, Degas, Goya, Leonardo da Vinci's" Madonna ", Monet, Rembrandt, whose work is presented as a gift to the leaders of friendly countries of Azerbaijan, a portrait of Turkish folk poet Imre Younis was presented with the late Heydar Aliyev, the Turkish government, which undoubtedly shows how Heydar Aliyev highly appreciated Mikail Abdullayev.
In the same light mood performed "Mingechavir Series" - paintings and drawings. This would seem to stand the production cycle, so mandatory for young artists of those years, Abdullaev proved to be thoughtful, not constrained by any conventions of an artist who owns compositional gift, a great painter, fine sense of color, excellent colorist, which would later become almost the main feature of his work. Love the color was really passionate, boundless and bold. It could be expressed in a great desire, and the finest development of color scheme, which was sometimes difficult to grasp the basic components, so they were transparent, bright and vibrant. Color texture artist could build any size, material world or portrait. In shifting the space could be his fantasies and mirages.
Whether it's "View of the mosque," "Night on the town", "Twilight", Azerbaijan, Moscow, Indian or Italian landscapes. But these landscapes, usually populated by people, sometimes bright, flamboyant, flashy and noisy crowd. Especially in the Indian series. For scenic loop "in India" Mikail Abdullayev received the prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru.
He was a fine portraitist. And the current exhibit evidence of this. Here is a lot of portraits, and almost everyone - is so dramatic, tightly knit color that the eye is hard to tear. And of course, is a true masterpiece "Portrait of Renato Guttuso. It would like to concentrate all the brilliant craftsmanship Mikail Abdullayev, his powerful talent, unmatched creative thinking. Portrait - the epicenter of the exposure. And already he is one to raise this seemingly chamber, almost randomly assembled an exhibition on the level of significant artistic phenomenon.
People's Artist of USSR Mikail Abdullayev was justly popular throughout our multinational country, whom he would not write - Azeri, Russian and Dagestani. Painted with the same love, kindness and friendliness. Mikail Abdullayev passionately loved his Azerbaijan. Said, referring to his homeland: "I do not get tired as ashugs, sing you in my paintings." And it is quite true. But it is also true that the artist never shut himself only in their national framework. He loved Moscow, Russia, India, Italy, other nations and peoples. "

Images are even interesting, much less an artist with such jewels. My advice is do not rush, I think it will be interesting to Azerbaijanis who live in Moscow, and not only. Read the forum here is very much interesting. I certainly do not know whether the sale of the artist at auction, that is important, but at the same time is not the main thing. Years of work are also very good, and sizes too. You can try to contact the embassy of Azerbaijan, as well as to Aidan Salakhova. I think this should be of interest to them. The database of this site, there are works that were sold at auction, I just do not know at what prices, and if they sell? http://artinvestment.ru/auctions/82780 And another thing, in this case, the gross, which means even more expensive than retail.
