Abstract

Kamil Aliyev graduated from the Azerbaijan State Art College and participated in the Great Patriotic War. Kamil Aliyev began his career in 1937 as a copyist at the “Azerkhalcha” (“Azercarpet”) experimental laboratory. Here he worked together with Latif Karimov. Kamil Aliyev is primarily known as the author of portrait carpets. During his creative career, K. Aliyev created a gallery of dozens of carpets - portraits of famous political and public figures of Azerbaijan and other countries, representatives of culture and art. The introduction of the realistic portrait genre into the art of Azerbaijani carpet weaving is considered Aliyev's main merit. K.Aliyev was awarded the honorary titles of Honored Artist (1968), and then People's Artist of the Azerbaijan SSR (1980). There is a house-museum of Kamil Aliyev in Baku, on the wall of which there is a bas-relief of the artist.
