The National Gallery of Armenia will launch an exhibition paying tribute to the Great Patriotic War participants on 12 November, ahead of the 75th anniversary of victory in the war.

The exhibition entitled “Flowers to Fighters” and organized by the National Gallery of Armenia jointly with the National Archive and Mother Armenia Military Museum, will display 17 paintings, 4 satires, memoirs and personal items, the gallery’s official website reported.

“The Armenian people have had a great contribution to the victory in the Great Patriotic War, and, of course, our artists could not remain unattached either. The heroic pages of war, the joy of victory and the pain of loss have been vividly reflected in Armenian fine art,” the gallery said.

The exhibition features works by Martiros Sarian, Eduard Isabekyan, Sargis Muradyan, Suren Safaryan, Mariam Aslamazyan, Mkrtich Sedrakyan, Ara Bekaryan and others.

Also, on display are Soviet Union twice Hero, Marshal Hovhannes Baghramyan's military uniform and parade sword, Major-General Askanaz Karapetyan's military uniform, photos and exclusive documentaries some of which are showcased for the first time.

The gallery stressed “Flowers to Fighters” is yet another opportunity to “pay tribute to the undefeated heroes and to commemorate the great deeds of our grandfathers and fathers.”

The exhibition runs through 12 December.
