Sir:
Maria Titzian’s illumination of the artist Hakob Hakobyan was distinguished journalism only Maria with her signature perspective could have done, and she did it beautifully.
Modern Armenia has engendered many distinguished artists, but of the greatest only Hakob Hakobyan is still alive to talk for himself.
Happily, Maria concentrated not on the work but on the man. Speaking for himself, he offered a view of his world, of Armenia, and of his art that was profound, individual, and inspiring.
As a reader, I am grateful for this interview in the Armenian Reporter. The result is that we may now have a far deeper insight into this major artist's large body of work.
Very truly yours,
