Felt art of Kazakhs

by Shaizada Tokhtabayeva

Description

This book is dedicated to the promotion of the leading branch of Kazakh nation’s arts and crafts: the art of feltmaking. The album illustrates the total diversity of the most representative and typical felt items from the fund of the State Museum of Arts named after A. Kasteev. It also demonstrates felt pieces of work by modern professional applied artists. And these pieces reflect the heritage of the ethnic traditions combined with their authors’ fantasies. This book in the popular-scientific form presents the results of its author’s many-years research alongside with such analyses of felt works as cultural-and-genetic, structural-and-morphological, art-and-technical, semiotic, and historically comparative ones. In these analyses information from the theoretical data of archeology, source studies, ethnography, folklore studies, history of art, and semiotics was used. This book-album will become of an interest not only to specialists in the humanitarian area, but for everyone who is fascinated with the artistic heritage of the Kazakh nation.
