Description
VALERIY GEGAMYAN (1925–2000) Woman in traditional dress oil on paper signed and dated in pencil in Cyrillic: ‘Gegamyan, Odessa, Primorskiy bld, d. 2’ (on the reverse) 35 x 24 cm Valeriy Gegamyan was a Ukrainian painter, graphic artist and teacher of Armenian origin. Born in Garni, Armenia, he studied at the Yerevan School of Fine Arts and then at the Yerevan Institute of Fine Arts under the renowned Armenian painter Martiros Saryan. From the early 1960s, he lived and worked in Odessa, where, in 1964, he founded the Faculty of Graphic Arts at the Odessa Pedagogical Institute, of which he became dean. Known for his expressive paintings, his drawings and his major thematic series, Gegamyan developed a personal artistic language and played an important role in the Odessa art scene. He exhibited very little during his lifetime, and his work gained wider recognition after his death.
