Gohtan mountains 1914

Martiros Sarian's 1914 painting "Gohtan Mountains" is a landscape piece characterized by bold, expressive brushstrokes. Sarian, a prominent Armenian artist, captured the rugged beauty of the Gohtan Mountains with vibrant colors, particularly warm yellows and browns. The painting reflects the artist's interest in the Armenian landscape and his desire to depict its inherent strength and grandeur. Sarian's use of strong lines and simplified forms suggests a connection to the aesthetics of Expressionism, a movement that valued emotional expression over strict realism.
