麻赫穆德·喀什噶里是生活在11世纪的维吾尔学者,他的著作代代相传到当今时代,但是关于其相貌却没有留下任何形象记载。创作这样人物的形象,对画家来说,自然是非常艰巨的工作。但是,这也不是根本不可能的事情。如果我们打开绘画史的篇章,创作出有名无貌人物的肖像画的画家也不少。像孔子、孟子,甚至亚当、夏娃的肖像,都是以后的画家们创作出来的。我作为一名维吾尔族画家,描绘我们本民族伟大的学者优素福·哈斯·哈吉甫和麻赫穆德·喀什噶里的肖像画,是我责无旁贷的义务,因而我承担了这项工作。 Mahmoud Kashgarri is a Uyghur scholars living in the 11th century. His writings have been passed on from generation to modern times, but no pictures have been written about his appearance. Creating such a person’s image is, of course, a very arduous task for the painter. However, this is not impossible at all. If we open the chapter of the history of painting, there are also many painters who have portrayed portraits of famous no-name people. Portraits like Confucius, Mencius and even Adam and Eve were created by later painters.
