Ural Tansykbayev (1904-1974)
Tansykbayev studied in N. Rozanov’s Art Studio of the Tashkent Museum of Art (1924-1928), then in the Penza Vocational School of Art and Pedagogy where he was admitted directly to the graduating class. He participated in many exhibitions in Uzbekistan, Moscow as well as abroad and garnered numerous government accolades. He established very close ties with the museum which obtained many of his earlier works from the late 1920s and early 1930s, regarded by many as the best collection of paintings and graphics of the period. Tansykbayev died in Nukus, while arranging a solo exhibition.sw
