He studied at the Riga City Art School between 1913 and 1915 and the Penza Art School during World War I , 1915 1917 . Like many Latvian modernists, his formal artistic training and the choice of his most compelling subjects derived from his experience as a refugee during World War I. Kazaks style contained elements of Impressionism , West European Old Masters, modern French painters and early 20th century Latvian Modernism. He was also profoundly inspired by the series of paintings of his fellow countryman Jazeps Grosvalds , bringing to these themes his own intimist painter s sensitivity. He used his influences and interests to create a personal style characterised by expressiveness, simplicity, synthesis and distortion of forms. He was involved in the formation of the Expressionists Group in 1919 and then the Riga Artists Group as its theoretician and first chairman.

Orphan date February 2009 Taza Jol is the Persian language Persian word for The Pure Way . It is used to describe the pure or correct way of practicing Islam, amongst Turkistani, Kazaks . Though the name Turkistan literally means Land of the Turkish people Turks in Persian, they do not have their own national identity. Taza Jol at its core is a strict adherence to the five pillars of Islam , but beyond that it requires observers to live a god fearing and charitable life. The most often ignored of the five pillars by most Muslims is the act of Zakat , or giving a percentage of ones yearly income as alms to the poor. It is the duty of a good Muslim to both give and receive Zakat honorably. The Taza Jol is a difficult belief system to satisfy. Most cosmopolitan Kazakhs cannot fulfill the necessary obligations and it a practice which is largely practiced in old age, when a person has the time and resources to commit. For this reason, many of these aged individuals will strive to fulfill their Muslim obligations, as well as practice the Taza Jol for those in their family. Taza Jol is the way of practicing Islam which most Muslims in the region aspire to. However, to strictly follow the practice has become to trying for Muslims of the present day.

one source date June 2010 Image Kazakh woman.jpg Kazakh woman, 2005 thumb Like its 1993 predecessor, the constitution of 1995 defends women s rights implicitly, if not entirely explicitly. The document guarantees citizens of Kazakhstan the right to work and forbids discrimination based on geographic origin, gender, race, nationality, religious or political belief, and language. In practice, social opinion tends to associate women in the workplace with the abuses of the Soviet past. The early 1990s saw the loss of more than 100,000 day care spaces, and public opinion strongly favors returning primary responsibility for the rearing and educating of children to mothers. In April 1995, President Nazarbayev said that one of the republic s goals must be to create an economy in which a mother can work at home, raising her children. This general opinion has been reflected in governmental appointments and private enterprise almost no women occupy senior positions in the country, either in government or in business. The declining birth rate is another issue with the potential to become politicized because it affects the demographic race between Kazaks and Russians . With demographic statistics in mind, Kazak nationalist parties have attempted to ban abortion s and birth control for Kazak women they have also made efforts to reduce the number of Kazak women who have children outside marriage. In 1988, the last year for which there are figures, 11.24 percent of the births in the republic were to unmarried women. Such births were slightly more common in cities 12.72 percent than in rural areas 9.67 percent , suggesting that such births may be more common among Russians than among Kazaks. Women s health issues have not been addressed effectively in Kazakhstan. Maternal mortality rates average 80 per 10,000 births for the entire country, but they are believed to be much higher in rural areas. Of the 4.2 million women of childbearing age, an estimated 15 percent have borne seven or ... more details

File Star Kazak.jpg thumb 180px This 19th century Star Kazak carpet sold for US 188,000 in 1999. Before the Russia n conquest, the Kazaks had a well articulated culture based on their nomadic pastoral economy. Islam was introduced to Kazakhstan in the 7th 7th to 12th century. Besides lamb, many other traditional foods retain symbolic value in Kazak culture. Kazakh culture is largely influenced by a Turkic nomadic lifestyle. Because animal husbandry was central to the Kazaks traditional lifestyle, most of their nomadic practices and customs relate in some way to livestock . Traditional curses and blessings invoked disease or fecundity among animals, and good manners required that a person ask first about the health of a man s livestock when greeting him and only afterward inquire about the human aspects of his life. The traditional Kazak dwelling is the yurt , a tent consisting of a flexible framework of willow wood covered with varying thicknesses of felt . The open top permits smoke from the central hearth to escape temperature and draft can be controlled by a flap that increases or decreases the size of the opening. A properly constructed yurt can be cooled in summer and warmed in winter, and it can be disassembled or set up in less than an hour. The interior of the yurt has ritual significance the right side generally is reserved for men and the left for women. Yurts are also frequently used as a decorative motif in restaurants and other public buildings. Modern Influences Today s Kazakhstan is a modern culture, thriving in the post Soviet era.
