Mariam Aslamazian

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mariam Arshaki Aslamazian (1907, Bash-Shirak village, near Leninakan - 2006, Moscow) was a Soviet painter, People's Artist of Armenian SSR (1965). She was the sister of painter Yeranuhi Aslamazian. They presented a big number of their works to their native town's Gyumri Aslamazian Sisters Museum.

She was the student of Stepan Aghajanian and Petrov-Vodkin. Her paintings evoke the dramatic, colorful themes of the period of her life.

While critics argue the relative strengths of her paintings, her exquisite ceramic plates are universally proclaimed masterpieces.[1]

Mariam Aslamazian died in Moscow, and was burried in Yerevan’s Pantheon.
