Tadevossian Eghiche 1870 - 1936

Born in Etchmiadzin, Tadevossian, a master of plein-air painting, had a fine perception of the rainbow play of the sun's rays, of light and shade, atmospheric perspective and nature's mood. He revealed himself as an Impressionist in hundreds of superb studies, all marked by his amazing, flickering brushwork. Feeling the need for a contemporary artistic language, Tadevossian moved on and arrived at the Post-impressionist style of pointillism.

Jansem (Jan-Hovanes Semerdjian)

The roots of Jansem's deeply humanist work lie in the heritage of Bruegel, Goya and Daumier. The spiritual impulses of these artists, which came together in him, produced an art which would seem to be the conscience of his time.

In 1922, Jensem (Jan-Hovanes Semerdjian) and his family left turkey for Greece to avoid persecution, and from there went to France.

The young man studied in the Free Academies of Montparnasse and then graduated from the Higher Arts School. He began exhibiting at the Salon des Independants) in 1944.

Jansem's first works were purely national subjects, often with children and mothers as their heroes. In depicting them, he was showing us his own childhood, the anxiety which remained with him even after the end of the great troubles.

In his large figurative series "Processions" "Dancers"," Bullfight" and "Masquerade" and his illustrations to the book of Cervantes, Villon, Baudelaire, Camus, Bazin and Lorca we can see Jansem's brilliant skill.

The critics described him as the champion of outcasts, but the artist's characters, even when in a state of extreme depression, never impose their sorrow on the onlooker.

They are proud and dignified. The artist reveals an unusual, deeply philosophical word woven from trepidation, with confident drawing it spreads out like a network of blood vessels across the canvas and brings the object forward out of the depths. The colour structures of the pictures accompanies the drawing like a melody.

Tadevosyan, a master of plein-air painting, had a fine perception of the rainbow play of the sun's rays, of light and shade, atmospheric perspective and nature's mood. He revealed himself as an Impressionist in hundreds of superb studies, all marked by his amazing, flickering brushwork. Feeling the need for a contemporary artistic language, Tatevosyan moved on and arrived at the post-impressionist style of pointillism.

The artist was born in Echmiadzin and studied at the school attached to the Lazarev Institute in Moscow, moving on to the Moscow School of Painting, were he studied under Vasily Polenov.

Tadevosian's great achievement lay in that he was able to perceptively reveal the picturesque wealth of the nature of his homeland and to tangibly feel its light.
