The presentation undertakes a close reading of a major painting – Provincial Wedding in Moush – by the notable, but now forgotten, Constantinople artist Garabed ‘Charles’ Nichanian (1861-1950).
In this illustrated presentation, Dr. Davidian follows Teotig’s quest for news and information of his old teacher to its culmination in an article entitled ‘Monsieur Pierre’ («Միւսիւ Բիեռ»), assembled only a few months before his death, and published posthumously in the 1929, and final, edition of his popular Everyone’s Almanac (Ամէնուն տարեցոյցը, 1907-1929).
