This article examines the factors that influenced development of genres in Uzbek painting during the second half of 20th century, chronology of their evolution, works of art historians who studied these genres, as well as generations of both mature and young artists who directly contributed to formation of these genres. In the domestic scientific tradition, there is a persistent tendency to establish genre as a fundamental category that reflects the essential properties and connections of phenomena in the art world, encompassing the totality of formal and substantive features of a work. In the content of this article, genre analysis is proposed as a theoretical and methodological basis for studying fine arts, as it allows the researchers to reveal hidden qualities in genre dispositions arts.
