A small clarification .
In Armenian arvestaget means an art critic , as one might think based on the meaning components of words (Arvest - Arts , het - who knows ), and the artist - a practice (without specifying the type of activity , but rather artist)
Art critic and theoretician is arvestaban (Arvest - Arts , ban- log ) .
Thus , in the quote we are talking about the Society ( Union ) artists

zarajara, This is a quotation from the official site until the repair will not ..

Those who transferred to sites are not always careful, we do translation bloopers - something normal.

Selection of works Gabo ( Gabriel Manoukian ) , I wanted to put the topic " The paintings, which we touched , " because the work of the artist is really a rare touching ( such a reaction they have caused to everyone I asked , immediately begin to smile ) .
