YEREVAN, JUNE 12, ARMENPRESS. The Government of the Republic of
Armenia has allocated AMD 396 million from the reserve fund for the
capital repair of the Martiros Saryan House Museum. The Director of
the Martiros Saryan House Museum Ruzan Saryan stated this responding
to the inquiry of "Armenpress". Among other things the Director of the
Martiros Saryan House Museum Ruzan Saryan noted: "The capital repair
of the museum is scheduled to last 9 months. The fortification of
the fundament has launched on May 5, as we are considering to build
the 4th floor as well."
The museum opened on November 26, 1967. The halls of the museum
exhibit those hangings which the artist never parted with in his
lifetime. Naturally the collection is far from being complete, most of
the artistic works gracing the museums of Moscow, Leningrad, Tbilisi,
Kiev, Rostov on-the-Don and many other cities.
The collection of the museum comprises 160 canvases which the artist
executed in different periods of his life. Mainly his early works
are placed on view here: "Tales and Dreams" (1904-1907), "At the Well.
A Hot Day" (1908), Self-Portrait" (1909), "Istanbul Dogs" (1910),
apart from dozens of canvases painted in the Soviet period:
"Aragats" (1925), "A Yard in Yerevan" (1929), "Three Ages" (1943),
"Picking Cotton in the Valley of Ararat" (1949) and others symbolizing
the revival of the Armenian people.
He has an attractive gallery of portraits of conspicuous personalities
of the Soviet Union and Armenia: Alexey Tolstoy, Ilya Ehrenburg, I. S.
Issakov, G. Ulanova, Avetik Issahakian, Victor Ambatsumian and others.
A special hall is assigned to the exhibition of the graphic art of M.
Sarian. The museum houses also the artist's atelier, where he created
from 1932 to 1972. Here upwards of two thousand graphic works and
water colors are stocked, in addition to 400 paintings which allow the
periodical renovation of the exposition. Everything in the atelier
is kept in its original form- the palette and the brushes of the
past master.
The viewers can familiarize themselves with the catalogues of shows
of different years and the canvases executed by the artist in his
last years.
Every year the museum marks February 28 (M. Sarian's birthday) by a
new exposition. Moreover, topical and red-letter day shows are often
staged in the memorial-house.
The Museum is going to expand exhibiting and scientific activities
with the aim of establishing a center on the Saryan studies. In this
regard, systematization of the artist's archives will be accomplished.
His private library will be catalogued and organization of conferences
is scheduled.
An art studio will be set up at the Museum, lectures and film screening
will be organized about modern painting.
