metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is devoted to the visualization of three key events in the history of Armenia in the
  work of the artist Grigor Khanjyan: the invention of the Armenian alphabet by Mesrop Mashtots, the Vardanid War for independence. To achieve ideological and aesthetic goals, the artist
  turned to the monumental genre. The final result was a triptych, now stored in the heart of
  Yerevan, in the architectural and monumental Cascade complex, in the Gerard Gafeschyan Art
  Center, in the hall named after the artist. The frescoes are united by cumulation and intentional
  atemporality of the characters. Another characteristic feature of the triptych is that Khanjyan
  turned to academic classicism to implement the idea. As an artistic technique, the master uses
  achrony, shifting the time frame for different characters, but at the same time, remaining faithful
  to the plot and the entourage of the depicted events. The central part of the triptych resembles
  a temporary dromos, separating and simultaneously connecting the first and third khorans, epochal
  events that changed the paradigm of the Armenian nation’s existence. Through the time
  portal, the Armenian ethnic group flows from the early Middle Ages to our days. A cross-cutting
  idea is the ideal of the social structure of the Armenian nation, which has gained sovereignty,
  sought by Khanjyan. The artist models the Golden Age according to the type of social structure
  of the early Middle Ages, extrapolating the medieval paradigm to the present and tomorrow. The
  ukhronia of the Reborn Armenia created by the artist is a projection of early medieval Armenia.
  Among the researchers who conducted an art criticism analysis of this work of Khanjyan,
  it is perhaps worth highlighting the names of such researchers as N. Stepanyan, N. Eyramjians,
  V. Gamagelyan, etc., whose works we refer to in our study. This article is intended to partially fill
  this obvious gap. The scientific novelty of the study lies in its interdisciplinary approach, due to
  the fact that one of the co–authors is a historian and the other is an art critic. This allowed the
  authors to conduct a diverse analysis using historical, cultural, semiotic, anthropological, ethnographic
  and, of course, art criticism approaches.
