fields, animals, and birds are not completely compatible with traditional

Tajik painting designs. "Guli azhdar," "Guli butta," "Guli sada," and

"Nilufar" are among the designs he employed frequently.

During the 1950s and 1960s, he directed his efforts toward the clas-

sical and modern styles, and as a result, contributed a great deal to the

art of Tajik painting. He has painted a number of the prominent govern-

ment buildings still in use in and around Khujand. The Palace of

Civilization in the Urun Khujaev region and the Pushkin Theater for

Music in Leninabad can be cited as examples of his later contributions.

Mansurov became a distinguished Artist of Tajikistan in 1965. He

also received the Red Banner of Labor, two medals, and the Honorary

Order of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of Tajikistan. He died in

Khujand in 1977.

sor in, as well as the Director of, the Department of Therapeutics of the

Tajikistan State Medical Institute Hospital. From 1954 to 1975, he was
