Armenian Art/Paintings

[Nairi]

Enovk Nasariants was an accomplished master of pastel. His live was one of hardship and deprivation. He moved to Tiflis (today Tbilisi in Georgia) and later to Alexandropol (today Gyumri in Armenia), where some his of work has been preserved. Of his portraits very few have survived elsewhere. His work illustrates refined knowledge of technique and the use of pastilles little known to artists of the region. On his portraits we can see fine detail of Armenian costumes from the old Caucasian cities.

I have always liked Arman Manookian know as Hawaii's Van Gogh and Ashot Melkonian one of the founders of Neorealism in Armenian art.

Thank you, I didn't know about Arman Manookian and just looked him up!


Arman Tateos Manookian (1904–1931) was an Armenian-American painter best known for his works depicting Hawaiian scenes.



Manookian was the oldest of three children born to a Christian Armenian family in Constantinople.[1] As a teenager, he survived the Armenian Genocide. Manookian immigrated to the United States in 1920. At the age of 16 he studied illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design. Later he took classes at the Art Students League of New York before enlisting in the United States Marine Corps in 1923. While serving in the U. S. Marine Corps he was assigned as a clerk to the author and historian, Major Edwin North McClellan.
