ORIENTAL LYRICAL TONES IN PORTRAITS OF THE INDEPENDENCE PERIOD AND THE IMAGE OF A HISTORICAL FIGURE

Thanks to the independence, in Uzbekistan a new era in the art of portraiture has started. In the portraits created during the years of independence, the idea of personality has completely changed. Instead of an idealized image of a person reflecting the ideas of the old system, the portraits depict a real person - an independent person with oriental lyricism, deep philosophical views, as well as an extremely natural and sincere person. The number of women portrait painters is growing. During the years of independence, creative freedom, searches in art have led to the development of different styles and trends. Increased attention to the national theme and history gave a great impetus to the development of the historical portrait, which is an integral part of the historical genre.
