In the early 1910s, following trips to the Russian steppe and Bukhara, Pavel Kuznetsov produced a series of pictures based on the primal and harmonious world of the east. The genre motifs permeating the Kyrgyzstan suite never step beyond the level of concreteness which turns a motif into a subject. People, animals and objects are depicted on a level footing in this canvas, reflecting the artist’s own unique world. Russian Museum: From Icons to the Modern Times. Palace Editions, St Petersburg, 2015. P. 278.
