Desert 1911

"Desert" is a landscape painting created in 1911 by Armenian artist Martiros Sarian. The work depicts a sweeping vista of desert hills bathed in warm, golden light, with a solitary tree silhouetted against the vibrant purple sky. Sarian's distinctive style, influenced by both European and Eastern artistic traditions, emphasizes the geometric forms of the landscape, creating a simplified and symbolic portrayal of the Armenian countryside. The painting's use of bold color and clear outlines evokes a sense of both grandeur and tranquility, reflecting Sarian's deep connection to his homeland.
