A. A. Osmerkin is one of the youngest members of “Jack of Diamond” association, who showed his work at only one of the exhibitions this association.
His works are kept in many museums, including Yerevan Museum of Russian Art. Osmerkin is a lyrical artist.
Yes, Osmerkin was a great lover and delicate admirer of poetry. His idol was A.S. Pushkin. In love with great poet’s poetry, he traveled to Pushkin places and created a series of paintings united by the common name “Pushkin Series.” From this series, our Museum presents the work of 1928, “River and Meadows.”
The best years of A. Osmerkin’s work are the twenties. One of the finest examples of his paintings of this period is “By the River. A Mill” from prof. A. Abrahamyan’s collection. In the above-mentioned landscapes, the objects, air and water consist of a single picturesque alloy.
Later works of A. Osmerkin, “Crimea. Road to the Sea” and “Sails. Landscape with Evening Light,” presented in our museum, are equally saturated with color energy, are whole and finished.
In many landscape works A. A. Osmerkin found an impression of the landscapes of Paul Cezanne.
