Famous Armenian painter Minas Avetisyan’s jubilee exhibition will be
launched in National Gallery of Armenia on 17 April, Sona Harutyunyan,
the adviser of the Minister of Culture told Panorama.am.
The exhibition is devoted to the 80th anniversary of the
painter. Though the painter’s 80th anniversary was celebrated last
year, much time was needed to have the catalogue published and
to have organized the exhibition, said the representative from the
ministry. Painter’s best 80 creations will be presented; some of them
have never been shown.
According to the source, Minas Avetisyan’s catalogue presentation
will take place during the first day of the exhibition. She said that
Professor Wilhelm Shling from Albert Ludwigs University of Freiburg
has a story published in the catalogue. The professor got impressed
by the painter’s art when he visited Armenia in 1995.
The catalogue is published supported by "foundation of developing
Armenian culture".
