Even while studying at the Higher Art and Design School, Nadezhda Kashina was distinguished by her extraordinary sense of color. It is therefore not surprising that Kashina moved to Uzbekistan solely for personal reasons: she was drawn to the colors. In 1930, the artist moved to Uzbekistan permanently, despite the fact that she had established a creative environment and exhibition career in Moscow. Here, she switched to studying nature and people's everyday lives, which was immediately reflected in her paintings. The work “Court in Samarkand,” executed in the post-impressionist genre, reveals a non-trivial ceremony, the emotions of which Kashina vividly depicted on canvas.

The exhibition “Uzbekistan: Avant-Garde in the Desert” will run until spring 2026.
