Answer 2

As of my last update in September 2021, Abilkhan Kasteev was a prominent Kazakh artist. He was born on March 21, 1904, in what is now Kazakhstan, and he passed away on October 4, 1973. Kasteev was a painter and a key figure in the development of Kazakh art during the Soviet era.

His artworks often depicted the beauty of Kazakh culture, its people, and the landscapes of the region. Kasteev's art also had a strong political and social element, advocating for the rights and recognition of the Kazakh people during a time of significant change and upheaval.

He played a crucial role in establishing the Kazakh National Art School and also held various leadership positions in the cultural sphere. Today, his paintings are highly regarded and considered important contributions to Kazakhstani art history. If there have been any significant developments or changes related to Abilkhan Kasteev after my last update, I would not be aware of them.
