    MINAS AVETISIAN'S PICTURES TO BE EXHIBITED IN ITALY

    YEREVAN, JUNE 29, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The pictures of
    Armenian artist Minas Avetisian will be presented to the Italian
    society in 2010. Professor of the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples
    Francesco Gallo told at the press conference on June 26 that About 100
    Works exhibition of Minas Avetisian's pictures will enter Italy through
    Roman gates and will continue into Naples, Venice, Florence. According
    to him, there is no concrete date of the opening the exhibition, as
    the exhibition of Minas' works is now being prepared in Moscow. "The
    Italian society should touch the Armenian art with its hand. That is
    why we chose Minas to present this country's art with the help of him",
    noted Mr. Gallo.

    F. Gallo, as a reporter, will do scientific work besides presenting the
    cultural values, as a result of which different pages of M. Avetisian's
    life, some materials describing the tragic end of his life and some
    parts of his writings will be recruited. The idea of the exhibition was
    suggested to F. Gallo by the representative of the Minas Avetisian
    Fund in Florence Vighen Avetis. The program is sponsored by the
    Ministry of Culture of Armenia.

    Francesco Gallo is concerned with the fact that very few canvases of
    Minas are shown at museums, the exposition and order of the pictures
    is very poor, that's why the pictures lose their power and a visitor
    cannot have a clear view of the painter. F. Gallo noticed that
    living in a difficult period M. Avetisian does not raise political
    problems and hard social conditions in his canvases, there is only
    art. "M. Avetisian in his pictures gives priority to independence,
    there is free spirit and views. That is why the value of his art
    continued to grow after him." According to him, the greatest value
    of Minas is that he presents historic culture with today's eyes
    and spirit.
