Eugene,
 Thank you for the good and kind words. It so happened that I have many friends and acquaintances among the Armenian artists. Some of them live in Moscow, a part of Armenia. They are all different, but each of them is interesting in its own way. Of course, I invite and invite to the forum, but the Internet as a communication assumes a certain introversion personality, and the guys, mostly accustomed to direct communication. Typically, the work can be seen in the main more or less important art fairs in Moscow or in the CHA. If the audience is interested, I'll try to spread a little information on other authors and more.
Best regards,
Nicodemus

Thank you to many interesting ..

In my opinion, this is not just interesting, but it is necessary. The site and forum as an important part of his long and steadily turned into perhaps the only platform where collected quite unique information about the artists who are now separated by borders, but born-all in one country (even if the empire, then the Union) and related to each other very deeply.
It turned out a little pompous :), but essentially true.

Helen, get healthy ..

 I think that the work Varuzhan themselves, better than any art critic speak for themselves.
 In 1980 he started working on this picture, with the desire to show his unity with the Minas, but over time, the characters appeared at the table, from which he may because he could get rid of them presutstvie his findings in a picture of himself.
 In those days, we met almost daily in the evening they had supper together, and often until the morning walking through the empty streets of Yerevan, and sometimes late at night returning to the studio to continue the conversation over a glass of wine.
In one such evening, he was long zhalovolsya that he could not complete the picture, and
probably rewrite. I do not interfere with his creative iskanieya, but said that a third of the cost, vydimo Larikov Igityan, and the silhouette of the item, probably Ashot (Dehts) Oganesyan, which we both are very respected. In the morning, when it went off, he signed the picture, turned and took Saboya. In the taxi, he said that every picture Larikov (they always had a strained relationship) now he gives me. By this time I have had more than 15, and his paintings and donated them all, I would refuse, but he argued that only in my home, Larikov can see this picture and be glad that he painted his (later what happened! ). In 1996 Varujan was at my house, he saw the picture and suggested dorisovat figure Ashot Oganesyan, on the next date of 1980. added 1996.

96.
