 Remarkable works are exhibited here. This is the vanguard of artists, and artists of the second plan, as they are called, but they are all great professionals. Maybe they are not as well-known and their names are not on everyone’s lips, but they are no less interesting and exhibition confirms this- says Lyudmila Kodzaeva arts critic.

Organizers called the works "the working people", because they were shown almost everywhere. For example, "Baysun Madonna" by Vladimir Burmakin was presented three times at the Paris exhibition.

 This is an original portrait of a woman, a mother who at 23, already has five children. This work has traveled halfway around the world. It is gratifying that I was able to create a picture that for many years is popular not only in our country but also abroad. And all because here captured the image of a woman and mother, who has always been a topic for artists around the world - said the people’s Artist of Uzbekistan Vladimir Burmakin.

Looking at these paintings, visitors are as if talking to past epochs. On almost every picture people of different ages and nationalities are depicted, they are supposed to tell the story of their own life. That is why this exhibition also gives a kind of lesson to the next generation of artists. The exhibition will appeal to both residents and guests of our capital because not all of the works are priceless heritage milestones in the history of Russian art school and professional skills.
