This meticulously researched guide explores the rich architectural heritage of the Uzbek capital through the captivating art of mosaics.
Delve into the extraordinary legacy of Alexander, Nikolai, and Pyotr Jarsky, artists whose visionary work reshaped Tashkent's urban landscape after the devastating earthquake of 1966. Their innovative techniques gave rise to breathtaking mosaic-adorned facades, masterfully blending modernist design with intricate Islamic motifs while reflecting the region's cultural identity.
This title offers an in-depth exploration of the artistry behind these vivid mosaics, spotlighting iconic works. Learn how artists like the Jarsky brothers, Vladimir Chub, Yakov Shapiro, Yury Zaitsev, and Irena Lipien, among others, pioneered cost-effective yet aesthetically profound wall coverings, bas-reliefs, and lighting designs, leaving an enduring imprint on Tashkent's architectural fabric.
As global conversations around heritage preservation and urban development gain momentum, the cultural and historical significance of these mosaic-rich structures is increasingly being recognized. This guide invites readers to celebrate Uzbekistan's artistic ingenuity and cultural heritage while advocating for their acknowledgement in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
