Aram Abrahamyan, a hero of Socialist Labor, laureate of the State Prize of the USSR, holder of the Orders of Lenin, the October Revolution, an honored scientist, a brilliant surgeon and clinician and a professor, had gathered a remarkable collection of Russian painting, graphics, and scenery of late XIX and early XX centuries, most of which he gave to Armenia.
Thanks to the generosity of Aram Abrahamyan and his wife Mary Abrahamyan, the Museum of Russian Art was established in Yerevan, where the works of more than 120 artists present are uniquely remarkable period of Russian art – a period that defined the development of Russian culture in general.
One of the vivid representatives of this period is, of course, Konstantin Korovin, a brilliant representative of Russian impressionism. Special moist air of his paintings, fine casual appearance of his heroines have exceptional charm.
Interest in the emotional possibilities of color, to the rhythm, the plastic line, the saturation of symbolism, talk not only about the obvious, but secret, hidden real motives. All these appear in the works presented at the museum.
The works of symbolists such as Roerich, K. Petrov-Vodkin, M. Wrobel, K. Bogayevsky are also included in the collection of the museum.
The museum’s collection also has works by artists of 1920-30’s, the so-called “Russian avant-garde.”
The collection is remarkable because it can be considered a full display of Russian fine art in the late XIX and early XX centuries.
