State University St. Petersburg
On behalf of our Gallery we have
honour to invite you for the exhibition of the original illustrations
of Raschid Dominov to the book “Wine from Bukhara” of
Omar Khayyam, published in St. Petersburg, Russia by State St. Petersburg
University 2004.
This book is devoted to the astronomer
and poet of Persian Omar Khayyam
and includes the poems rubaiyat of
Omar Khayyam, the “tsar of
sages” of XI - XII century,
who is famous all over in the world.
The attraction and treasure of this
book is in combination of professional
translation of Omar Khayyam’s
poems, done by Khan Manuvakhov, St.
Petersburg’s poet, the addition
of Asim Shakhverdov, editor, who
collected and compiled the most complete
translations of poems into Russian,
which were published first in 1986
in Leningrad in Big series of Library
of poet, and illustrations of Raschid
Dominow, famous Russian painter,
graphic, scene painter.
Book illustration is fortunate exception
in his creative work. The paintings
of R. Dominov are so close to the
poems of Omar Khayyam by interpretation
of subject.
This creation is not simply illustration;
it is individual interpretation of
poems, which the painter has read
not once, trying to understand the
period of history and the sole of
poet.
The illustrations have brought us
in XII century, opening for us so
famous pages of history of Persian
book miniature.
We hope very much that this book
with complete originals of R. Dominov
will find place in your collection.
