Vahram Gayfejyan – 145․ At the Origins of Abstractivism

The exhibition dedicated to the 145th anniversary of Vahram Gayfejyan mostly presents the series "Decorative Motifs" and "Colour Compositions" (1902–1907), which are exceptional gems from the early Moscow period of the artist’s Art Nouveau and symbolist style. During his lifetime, the artist kept these "dangerous" works secret, and only after his death did his daughter, art historian Ellen Gayfejyan, discover them, make them public, and study them. In his youth, Gayfejyan was deeply engaged with the programmatic ideas of the Art Nouveau era, seeking through a radical renewal of artistic language, associative and intuitive reflections, to reveal the inner, invisible, spiritual essences and feelings. In this process, the visual form merges with music, prefiguring the ideas of synesthesia introduced by the founder of abstractionism, Wassily Kandinsky.
