I came across an Armenian artist called Martiros Saryan (aka Martyros Sarian) when I was in the south of France. He was a contemporary of Picasso, with whom he worked briefly during his Cubist period. However, I have been looking for over a couple of years now, on the web (inlcuding Google and I've even been to various Russian and Armenian sites, none of which I could decipher!), in bookshops, back at the museum in Antibes where I first saw his beautiful works... and have found no more than two of his later oil and pastel works for sale anywhere. It is his earlier, 'Comptes des Fees' watercolour pieces I am searching for. Please can someone tell me where I can get a variety of reproductions of his work?

Thanks for the ideas. :) However, I have used Google and Yahoo extensively, with every permutation of Saryan's name and have found no posters or art cards for sale from his Compte des Fees period. I am after two particular works which I have only ever seen reproduced twice and these reproductions are no longer available. Maybe I should bargain for the originals! ;)
