Haroutiun Galentz: The Form of Colour (Skira, 2025) reassesses a major 20th-century modernist whose work has long resisted categorization. Edited by Vartan Karapetian and Marie Tomb, the first English-language monograph devoted to the artist brings together works from the Janibekyan Collection and the National Gallery of Armenia alongside holdings from museums and private collections across Europe, Asia, and North America. Working in the disparate contexts of Lebanese nationalism, French colonialism, Soviet Stalinism, and Armenian socialism, the artist developed a singular modernist language rooted in color and psychological portraiture. Through paintings, archival documents, correspondence, and memoirs, the book situates Galentz as a cosmopolitan modernist whose work demands to be read across borders rather than within national canons.
