Matevosyan

The great XX century Armenian writer Hrant Matevosyan wrote the inter-titles for the original version of the 1969 film masterpiece The Color of Pomegranates by the legendary filmmaker Sergei Parajanov. One of Mikhail Vartanov‘s revered Unsent Letters essays was addressed to Matevosyan, but was excluded by the censors and remains unpublished. On July 4, 1984, Matevosyan gifted his book “Trees” to Vartanov with a remarkable inscription. It masterfully reveals the purity of Vartanov’s character that mystified his circle, including the great writer Matevosyan.

 

There are people, whose mechanism of beauty still remains inexplicable to me, like you, dear Mikhail.
— Hrant Matevosyan

Есть люди, чей механизм красоты остается для меня так и необъяснимым, как и ты, дорогой Михаил.
— Грант Матевосян

Կան մարդիկ, որոնց գեղեցկության մեխանիզմը ինձ համար մնում է այդպես էլ անբացատրելի, ինչպես դու` սիրելի Միքայել։

— Հրանտ Մաթևոսյան
