Connections
She was not married for a long time and did not want to have children, so that they would not distract her from painting. Only at the age of 60 she married a man who had been striving for that for thirty years, Gurgen Avatesyan, a professor at the Timiryazev Academy. She had lived happily with him for 22 years - her husband died in 1984.
