Mural 1930

"Mural" (1930) by Armenian-American artist Arman Manookian (1904-1931) is a vibrant and stylized depiction of a tropical scene. The painting features three figures, a man standing and two women seated, set against a backdrop of lush vegetation, including a banana tree, and rolling hills. The use of bold colors and simplified forms is characteristic of Manookian's artistic style, which can be categorized as a form of modernism. This mural, completed a year before Manookian’s untimely death, showcases his talent for capturing the beauty and vibrancy of nature in a uniquely stylized way.
