THE MINIATURE TRADITIONS OF AZERBAIJAN FINE ARTS IN THE 1990s–2000s

In the 1990s–2000s, it is possible to observe the desire to give modernity to the ancient national artistic traditions in the visual art of Azerbaijan in the painting works of the old, middle and young generation artists of the time. One of the main factors determining this is the continuation of ancient miniature traditions in a new direction in our country since the years of independence. Therefore, 1990–2000 years can be characterized as a new stage of development of miniature style works in Azerbaijani painting. This was done by different generations of artists – Elchin Aslanov, Rafis Ismayilov, Altay Hajiyev, Arif Huseynov, Nusrat Hajiyev, Sirus Mirzazadeh, Gayyur Yunus, Rasim Nazirov, Faig Akbarov, Orkhan Huseynov, Sara Manafova, Ayten Shirzadova, Parinisa Asgarova, Leyla Salamova and we can see it in the works of others.
