"Portrait of a girl in a pink dress"

Author: Saryan M.

canvas., tempera. 61 x 47 cm

Martiros Saryan (1880 - 1972) was one of the great artists of the twentieth century, an outstanding master of color. "Color is a true miracle! - the artist exclaimed. "In combination with sunlight, it creates the inner content of the form, expresses the essence of universal existence." 

The key to Saryan's painting method has always been the principle of generalization, understood in a variety of senses: from theme and mood to spot and stroke.
Saryan's canvases, painted in bright, saturated colors, develop a new aesthetic perception, making it possible to understand that art is not just an imitation of reality: it requires freedom of imagination and abstraction. At the same time, the artist retains simple natural forms in his works. Martiros Saryan has always considered nature to be his main teacher.
