Bouquet of flowers 1945

Martiros Sarian's “Bouquet of Flowers” is a vibrant oil painting. The way he's laid down these strokes is so impulsive, right? Like, imagine him, standing there, kind of wrestling with the canvas, trying to capture the fleeting essence of these blooms. I can really feel the energy in his brushwork—the way he’s built up the textures, thick and juicy, especially in the blues and yellows. There's this one spot, right in the center where a burst of yellow paint practically levitates off the surface, pulling you in. You know, it makes me think about how Cezanne obsessed over apples. And here is Sarian doing it with flowers. Painting, it’s not just about what we see, it's about touch, sensation, and getting lost in the act. That's what artists do, they keep the conversation alive. Each gesture, each color choice, it all adds up, it's like poetry, really.
