Picture: Saroyan & Saryan

Here's a neat picture I found online: on the left is the writer William Saroyan and on the right the master artist Martiros Saryan. Talk about a meeting of geniuses, huh?

France to Restore Two Saryan Paintings

I've always loved Martiros Saryan's work, and not just because half of all Armenian artists nowadays are trying to emulate his use of colors!

A French town is allocating $3,000 to the restoration of two Saryan paintings from 1925 and 1928.

What is not known is whether these pieces are truly in need of a restoration.
