Abstract

In this article, the author examines the traditional art of the Kazakhs, which does not operate with thematic categories, and is filled with specific and vivid content. We are talking about the universal laws of the external world that are accessible to the perception of each viewer, which are formulated by folk art. A feature of the animal style in modern Kazakh art is the fusion of its components - movement and statics, the unity of nomadic and sedentary life, where the following originality of movement, renewal is manifested. The article reveals that the «animal style» was widespread among the nomads. The animal style used by the Sakas was influenced by the southern traditions that the Sakas met during their campaigns in Asia and Iran.
