The illustrated album “Social Realism and Soviet Armenian Fine Arts” created by the Doctor of History, Professor, Honoured Art Figure Rouben Mirzakhanyan and Doctor of Art History, Professor HravardHakobyanwas published in Russian and English languages issued in 1000 copies in Moscow.
The printing was carried out by the support of printing houses “Eurasian Media Group” and ZaRubezhom”. One year ago the illustrated book was published in Armenian and English languages in Armenia. The above-mentioned publication was welcomed by the President of the Harvard University Drew Gilpin Faust, the Head of the Secret Archives and Library of the Vatican Jean-Louis Bruguès, the Director of the Prado Museum Miguel Zugaza, the Rector of the New York Southern Connecticut State University Mary Papazyan, the Director of the New York Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Archives Richard Armstrong, the Director of the Exhibition hall of the Washington State Exhibition Hall Earl A. Pavel III, the British Museum, etc.
We would also like to mention that the illustrated book “Social Realism and the Soviet Armenian Art” comprises works of around 183 artists of the era of Social-Realism.
When compiling the book, the authors came across a problem to include works that not only contextually referred to social realism but belonged to the given period despite its thematic direction.
The authors tried to avoid the repetition of well-known artists’ works striving to introduce to the broad public of art amateurs a number of works that remained unnoticed or due to various reasons were neglected in those years, which were, nevertheless, remarkable and had an artistic value to the authors’ minds.
