Tchobanian worked on representing Armenian literature and art in Europe and the pursuit of justice for Armenian Nation. He translated into French and published works of ancient and modern Armenian poets and had personal connections and correspondence with European writers and activists. The literary and public activities of A. Tchobanian were highly appreciated both by Armenian and European writers: Anatole France, Emile Verhaeren, Romain Rolland, Franz Werfel, Paul \u00c9luard\u2024<br \/>\nHe was deservedly called the Ambassador of Armenian Art in Europe.<br \/>\nThe Exhibition is about the \u201cfriendship more than a century\u201d of two great personalities and the significant role that A. Tchobanian played in Komitas Vardapet\u2019s life, especially in preserving Komitas\u2019s heritage and transferring it to Armenia.<br \/>\nIn six thematic parts of the Exhibition, through the combination of graphic images and artefacts we presented various fragments and events, telling about the personal and creative interactions of Komitas and A. Tchobanian.<br \/>\nThe transition from graphic image to an artefact and the opposite lets the visitor learn about various moments of the lives of two great people by using graphic creations, as well as archival documents, photographs, manuscripts and rich audiovisual materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October 11, 2022 \u2013 May 30, 2023 Exhibition Curator: Marine Haroyan \u2026One of the most unforgettable, most powerful impressions was the one which I had the day I met and heard Komitas Vardapet.
