On 19 May 2010 an exhibition “Stages of our Art History” was launched in the Exhibition Gallery of the Museum Centre in order to present to the audience, especially to youth, works created during the pre-war period, which was a quite particular time in our art history and to promote the works of our well-known artists. There are several stages in the art history of Azerbaijan in the 20th century. The period from the beginning of the last century to the 1940s was one of fundamental change and innovation in the visual arts of Azerbaijan. During that period the Art School was established in Azerbaijan and Azerbaijani artists, who graduated from that academy, successfully completed courses at the most prestigious Art Schools of the USSR, returned to their motherland and made great contributions to our artistic heritage. The art works created before the 40s, particularly demonstrate the specific features of our nation in that historic period.
Visual arts, graphics and sculptures by Bahruz Kangarly, Azim Azimzadeh, Alibey Huseinzadeh, Rustam Mustafayev, Mikayil Abdullayev, Boyukagha Mirzazadeh, Alakbar Rzaguliyev, Taghi Taghiyev, Salam Salamzadeh, Reyhan Topchubasheva, Latif Feyzullayev, Sadiq Sharifzadeh, Fuad Abdurrahmanov, Yelizaveta Tripolskaya, Rahim Guliyev and others were displayed in the exhibition.
