Haroutiun Galentz: Color as Form Exhibition Opens at Eagle Gallery of
the Cafesjian Center for the Arts on June 20 at 7 pm. Press service
of Gafesjian Center for the Arts informs about this.
The exhibition Haroutiun Galentz: Color as Form organized as part of
the Museum Networking program of the Cafesjian Center for the Arts
features a selection of works from the Galentz Museum.
Since the painter worked in three basic genres - still life, landscape
and portraiture - this exhibition thus provides an opportunity for
the public to better understand the expression of the artist's color
vision from different angles. For Galentz, color was not something
used to indicate the external character of this or that phenomenon. As
Matisse liked to say, "When I put a green, it is not grass. When I
put a blue, it is not the sky." The same held true for Galentz. With
color blotches and layers, he would build form, volume, chiaroscuro,
and construct perspective. He would do all this freely and without
restraint; only guided by aesthetic principles.
This exhibition points out Galentz's creative rumination, formulated
specific language and final passing from reality to almost abstract
forms. Graphic series included in the exhibition open a passageway
to the "creative sanctum", where the master would perfect his mark,
experimenting with new forms and approaches, and later conveying
them to canvas. This is an almost unknown corner for the viewer in
the multilayered creative legacy of Galentz.
The exhibition Haroutiun Galentz: Color as Form is yet another step
on the path to introduce the artist to a much wider audience, and
not only Armenian. Such an initiative reflects the mission of the
Cafesjian Art Center. The world created by Galentz, however unreal,
is equally real to the extent that it exists on the canvas surface
and directly relates to the principal laws dictated by nature -
balance and harmony. As Galentz used to say: "In the end, all "isms"
will disappear. They will be subsumed in one totality, they will
become nature."
The exhibition will last till September 22, 2013. The admission to
the Eagle Gallery is free.
