The thematic exposition of the Museum of Fine Arts is dedicated to the national holiday of the Turkmen horse

The historical picture of the glorious past of the Turkmen people "Solemn meeting of Muhammad Togrul-bek in Bagdad" by Baba Ovganov became a composition and artistic dominant of the exhibition.

In a large-scale scene, realistically conveyed by the author, in the crowd of men and women greeting the new ruler of Baghdad comes forward the white horse Togrul-bek.

The royal stature, the long neck, the thin slender legs of the steed involuntarily attracts the attention of the spectators.

Several paintings dedicated to the famous horses, which the Turkmen know by their names are on exhibit.Among them - "The Pride of Turkmens - Yanardak" by Ishan Ishankuliyev, "Garader" by Ovez Mametnurov.

Artists painted on the canvases the perfection of the proportions of the divinely built Akhal-Teke, their color, giving off a velvet ebb, ease of movement and innate aristocracy.

The painting "My Homeland" by Saparmamed Meredov very accurately conveys the artist's lyrical mood: one day at the sunrise of the surrounding world that emerged into the broad steppe and froze from the unexpected beauty - both the earth and the sky are illuminated by a gentle pink color, and only a group of white horses complements the dear landscape.

So much love wakes up in my heart that you are willing to say to everyone: "There is nothing more dearly than the native land."

Yarla Bayramov depicts the blue-green mountains, against whose background the roaring foals peacefully graze under the tendance of the horse breeder, in the painting "At the foot of the Kopetdag". The canvas is filled with the energy of the spring transformation.

A completely different motif in Tamara Kiseleva's painting is the Akhal-Teke horses.The artist emphasized the decoration of horses, which also contains the love of people for these amazing creatures.

The harness of the horse glancing gold and precious stones, depicted on the canvas, a thin carpet ornament adorns the rider horsecloth.The decoration for the Akhal-Teke horse is like a worthy frame for a talented painting.

The picture of Mamed Mammadov "Toi" is about participation of horses in the holidays in the village.It is written in levels, the first of which is a set of horses ridden by riders, preparing for gambling races.

Higher is depicted group of villagers emotionally cheering for the participants in the tournament on the national game goresh.Still higher are the four cauldrons with the aromatic haze rising upwards, and then the mountains, which with their peaks rest against the blue peaceful sky.

The work of Saragt Babayev "Arkadag" stands out of the large number of sculptures of small forms presented at the exhibition.
