Description
Armen Kyurkchyan - Armenian Ornamental Script
A rich heritage has been passed down to us through the centuries: the ornamental letters found in thousands of Armenian medieval handwritten manuscripts. Armenian masters have transformed the letters of Armenian alphabet from mere symbolic units into miniature masterpieces of ornamental art, celebrated for their stylistic, colorful, and pictorial diversity, reflecting our national, cultural, and spiritual values.
In this book, Armen Kyurkchyan presents over 2,500 samples of Armenian ornamental letters, drawn from medieval Armenian manuscripts. The photographs presented in the book were taken by Hrair Hawk Khatcherian.
The book includes a CD with the images presented within, serving as a valuable resource for artists, designers, and craftsmen.
