Yerevan 1924

"Yerevan," a 1924 painting by Martiros Sarian, captures the vibrant life of the Armenian capital. Known for his evocative landscapes, Sarian utilizes bold colors and simplified forms to depict a bustling scene. Two women, their traditional garments rendered in contrasting stripes, carry jugs of water while a small goat and dog roam below, all set against the backdrop of a warm-colored cityscape. This lively composition reflects Sarian's fascination with Armenian culture and the beauty of his homeland, a motif he often explored in his art.
