Minas Avetisyan

1928-1975 | Jajur, Armenia

The main theme of his works was Armenian nature, the nature of Jajur, the religion, poor people, mountains, fields, and landscapes. Avetisyan’s method differs from the method of plein-air painting which was once widespread in Armenian art. For him working from nature was no more than a preliminary stage, and the main portion of the work on the canvas was done in his studio.
