Abstract :In the article, the author explored the activities of the carpet scientist and people’s artist of Azerbaijan Latif Kerimov. In honor of L. Kerimov, his portrait carpet woven by the People’s Artist of Azerbaijan Eldar Mikayilzade and a tapestry with the image of L. Kerimov by the teacher of the Azerbaijan University of Arts Tamilla Abdullayeva were created. Each of these artists was a student of Latif Kerimov, who taught them the art of carpet weaving. These portraits are heartfelt in their originality, composition, and color scheme. These portraits of the teacher Latif Karimov have been exhibited at international exhibitions more than once and have gained great popularity. The activity and role of Latif Kerimov in the creation of Azerbaijani carpet schools are invaluable. It is subdivided into key regions of Azerbaijan. The Karabakh school of carpet weaving plays a special role among them. On the canvases of famous European artists of the XVI–XVII centuries, we see the image of Azerbaijani carpets of the Karabakh and other schools. L. Kerimov made a great contribution to the study of these carpets, revealing the ornaments of the composition of these carpets, their strength, and the use of geometric elements in them. Azerbaijani carpets were acquired by private connoisseurs of art and are kept in the collections of famous museums in the world. Karabakh carpets also differ in their size.
