An exhibition in place on 150th anniversary of Vardges Sureniants
Head of the government commission on 150th anniversary of Vardges
Sureniants Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan attended today the opening
of an exhibition dedicated to the 150th anniversary of famous Armenian
painter Vardges Sureniants in the National Gallery of Armenia.
Greeting those present and prioritizing the need for re-comprehension
of the great artist's legacy, Tigran Sargsyan stated: `Sureniants can
well be ascribed to the family of the world's best artists, and our
State has much to do in this respect: the celebrations of his 150th
anniversary should launch the process of his international
recognition. I happened to reveal an exciting detail as I familiarized
myself with his life experience. During his lifetime, Sureniants had
only one personal exposition: in Baku in 1901. Our initiative is
exceptional from this point of view as we have tried to bring to the
public's attention all we could collect over time.'
3 presentations were made on the sidelines of the exhibition: a film
about the master, a scientific catalog featuring his drawings and an
album of his works kept in the National Gallery of Armenia.
The exhibition featured over 200 pieces on display in the National
Gallery, as well as documents, records, correspondence, handwritten
and other archival materials kept in the Literature and Arts Museum
after Yeghisheh Charents.
