EXHIBITION DEDICATED TO MARTIROS SARIAN’S 125TH ANNIVERSARY

Armenia created in the paintings by Martiros Sarian is as real and
vigorous as the artist’s unlimited love to life, painting, people
and nature.

The republican annual exhibition held at RA Artists’ Union was
dedicated to 125th anniversary of the great painter. The contemporary
Armenian artists exhibited about 120-150 canvases. The exhibition
also included a competition. It was envisaged to award the winners
of the competition with the Martiros Sarian Medal and 2 invitations
to the resort centers of the union in Tsaghkadzor and Sevan.

“Sarian is the youngest Armenian painter. He was searching for new
discoveries and forms during his life. If he were a son of a larger
nation, a Frenchman, an Englishman or a German, he would be as famous
as Modegliani, Picasso and Dali. Moreover, Sarian managed to create
a new image of Armenia. In his paintings Armenia is so strong and
vivid, that people always remember Sarian when speaking of Armenia.
And it is very good that our best painters remember the great Master,”
Avik Isahakian said.
