This book-album tells about the creative activity of Rahim Hakimov, a member of the Academy of Arts of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and his works belonging to the Abru Bahar art type. Rahim Hakimov was born in 1951 in the city of Bukhara. In 1975, P. After graduating from the Benkov School of Artists, he simultaneously began his creative and pedagogical activities. He taught the secrets of painting to hundreds of students in the "Tong" visual art studio, which he founded and led.He took part in the exhibition for the first time in the region with his works called "To'maris", "Shirok" and "Mirshablar" made in the historical genre and caught the attention of the audience. An inquisitive artist is never tired of looking for new methods and directions. The artist's works in a new and unique method called "Abru Bahor" were liked by the art lovers of the Republic and the world. For this reason, the book-album "Abru Bahor" was created. Rahim Hakimov's works are exhibited at national and international exhibitions and are kept in museums. Book decoration, calligraphy and miniature arts have been widely developed in the East since ancient times. The works created by masters of the past show the rich artistic heritage of Uzbek national culture. In the book-writing workshops, the masters chose signatures based on the content of each work, and worked on beautiful, artistic decoration of the book surface and inner pages. As a result of these researches, a new style in art "BARU BAHAR" was born. In calligraphy, the method of artistically decorating papers for signing is called "Abru-bahor". The word "Abru-bahor" is derived from the Persian language, "abr" means cloud, and "spring" means the most beautiful season of the year. If we translate the words, it means "Spring clouds". Indeed, the sheen of colors lying on the waters creates colorful shapes as clear and pure as spring clouds. "Broken Jug", "Angel", "Declaration of Love", "Secrets of Heaven", "Old Pond", "Similar Fates" and more than 20 centuries have taken place. The book also tells about the secrets of creating a work using the "Abru-Bahor" method, the tools used, and paints, which are also shown in the photos.
