Art
critic O. Sosor: The exhibition “The Eternity of the General D. Sukhbaatar in
Visual Arts” is aimed to perpetuate the General who led the People's Revolution
of Mongolia in history and to promote his merits to our succeeding generation
through visual arts. This exhibition is the rare chance for people to see the
valuable works stored in the collection of the National Museum at once.
During the 1940s and 1950s, the People's Revolution was very
significant, so General D. Sukhbaatar became an inspiration for many artists to
create their masterpieces. But, there are no artworks that had been painted
when the General was alive. The collected artworks till today were all painted
based on historical facts and his friends’ memories about him. One of the prominent
examples is the “Portrait of Sukhbaatar” by People’s Artist U. Ydamsuren.
The exhibition will take place until February 23.
