From the exhibition with an uncertain name (whose fate? Where recorded?) the audience will not know that such Armenian art, but also the idea of Russian will not receive. The choice of Pushkin different half-correct, perhaps, for the sake of historical justice. It turns out an interesting plot from a geopolitical point of view. Biographies Armenian artists showed that they all, with very few exceptions, graduates of the major educational institutions in metropolitan France and stuffed his hand in the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts. Armenia became a member of the Soviet Union and once again became part of the empire, now a socialist. The whole art system of the country since before the revolution was aimed at the center, in the role played by Russia.
So the exhibition is based on two main articles of artistic exports Armenia. Ivan (Hovhannes) Aivazovsky was born actually in Feodosia and Armenia is relevant only to ethnicity. Therefore, his landscapes in the collection of the National Gallery of their historical homeland, and much inferior to the things of the central assembly, and the collection Theodosia gallery in his name. At the exhibition all things Saryan early, pre-revolutionary, and this collection are the envy of any major museum in Russia.
Today, Armenia has become a near abroad, but their own history in the manner of Ukraine to build something I did not want to, whether considered impolite to great-power neighbor. Therefore, the early Armenian art in the exhibition to talk about do not have to: look into the past begins with the XVIII century. The panel for the altar of the obstacles Ovnatana Ovnatanyana on the story of the Magi worship looks like the work of a provincial German era Protorenessansa. In the early twentieth century Armenian artists were Europeans in the same way as the Russian. The famous portrait of Petr Konchalovsky, he sits cross-legged on the background of the carpet and daggers, in every way, in general, boast their own exotic. But the artist Yakulov was quite European, learned a lot from Parisian Robert Delaunay.
Pavel Kuznetsov is the best period of the mid 1910's. Early rainy Mikhail Larionov beautiful. Maybe without them there would be room for more interesting Armenians.
