At the Exhibition 1978

"At the Exhibition," a 1978 watercolor by Petros Malayan, depicts a group of people gathered around a framed artwork, likely at an art exhibition. Malayan, a prominent Armenian artist, was known for his expressive brushstrokes and dynamic compositions. The scene captures the lively energy of an art event, as the figures engage with the artwork and each other. With loose, gestural lines and washes of color, Malayan's style evokes the immediacy and spontaneity of observation, characteristic of his oeuvre.
