The Colors of the Steppe: Non-Conformist Art From Soviet Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan September 3, 2010

'The Colors of the Steppe' examines the revival of expressive color in the underground or non-conformist art of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. The artists included in this exhibition employ bright, vibrant colors as a means of reconnecting with their native artistic traditions. The result is a modern, regional art, in which tradition and innovation are combined as an alternative to official styles.
