Today we went to the house-museum of Martiros Saryan. He painted many different paintings.

We were told that his paintings are divided into three periods. The first period was called “Fairy Tales and Dreams”. He painted the paintings in that collection with watercolors, using the wet paper technique. He depicted the fusion of dreams and tales.

The pictures of the second period were painted by him during his travels, mostly while going to Egypt. In the paintings of that collection, he included a lot of national symbols of that country. For example, pyramids, masks, the Armenian symbol of eternity, etc. Also, unlike the first period, his paintings became more colorful.

After his travels, he returns to Armenia and builds his house (the project of which was drawn by Alexander Tamanyan), which at first had only a studio and a living area. And then in 1967 his museum was built next to his house. He was one of the few people whose museum was opened during his lifetime, and what’s more, he himself was present. was at the opening.

In the museum, we were also shown the living area of his house and his studio.

Everything was very beautiful, I was impressed and I will visit that museum again with pleasure next time.

Here are some pictures:
