Cliffs 1929

Martiros Sarian's 1929 pencil drawing "Cliffs" depicts a striking landscape with towering rock formations. The artist, known for his Armenian landscapes, employs a simplified, expressive style to capture the imposing presence of the cliffs. The stark black and white composition enhances the drama of the scene, with the dense hatching adding a sense of texture and depth. The sparse vegetation at the top and bottom of the drawing emphasizes the imposing scale of the cliffs, creating a sense of awe and wonder.
