I have some graphic work, signing M. Zakaryan. 1918.
I know little about the author. Almost nothing. <- ~ 2 ~ ->
In the Internet found a fragment from the book "Listening A. Vollard Cezanne, Renoir, Degas," where Degas mentions "his friend Zakaryana" who "can run at least twenty years, with a nut, berry and grape knife, only changing their place! .. '
I would be grateful for any information about this artist.

Dear Member,

Here is the same quote from the book Master the art of art: selections from letters, diaries, speeches and treatises (4 vols. Edited B.Ternovtsa and D.Arkina. Volume III, edited by B . N.Ternovtsa. Leningrad: "Art", 1939):

[ Quotes from Edgar Degas: Of his landscapes painted in the room .]

When traveling, I sometimes look out of the window of the car. But the comfort of your home, do not write all the landscapes of the universe, sticking three old hands in the soup of the grass? This is similar to my old friend Zaharyanu that one nut, grapes and a knife has enough material to work, changing only the location of the knife, for twenty years ... A Roire, who recently wrote watercolor on a precipice! Listen, painting - is not a sport.

Have you known the source? In French, of course?

Thanks in advance,
Maxim Zhukov
