The Fourth Quarter

The book of the renowned artist Marina Tsolakovna Azizyan is not an autobiographical or memoir narrative in the strictest sense of the word. Rather, it is a kaleidoscope of plots preserved in the author's memory and her notebooks over the years. In these non-chronologically organized notes coexist landscape sketches, observations, memories of the people she happened to meet, work with, befriend, impressions of various places and events, reconstructions of dreams, reflections on her own and others' creativity. These diverse situations and stories are united by the lively gaze of the artist, who feels the surrounding world fully and vividly.
The text is accompanied by the author's illustrations created specifically for this edition, as well as fragments from notebooks of various years
