The artist digested the elements of modernism as represented by such movements as Impressionism, Expressionism, Fauvism, Cubism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism. He then produced his own variations based on these sources, frequently in very creative directions. Some of his work, indeed, shows a language that reveals the depths of the unconscious mind and is thoroughly inventive. Appealing , too, is his “palette”; his admirable poetic color combinations (not the garish ones mentioned earlier) are linked to the tonalities of his better known fellow Armenian, Arshile Gorky.
