Karakum Desert
The topic of his graduation work was 'The Karakum Desert'. To accomplish his task Klychev went to work in a geodesic expedition as a simple worker in the Karakum Desert. He spent all summer under 50C degrees paving the road of the future Karakum Canal. Despite all difficulties, Izzat still found time and energy to make outlines and to sketch. A year later, his graduation work "The Karakum Desert" was exhibited at the All-Union Art Expedition in 1953.
