Sayat-Nova, pseudonym of Aruthin Sayadian, (born 1712, Tiflis, Georgia—died 1795, Tiflis), Armenian troubadour known for his love songs. Sayat-Nova worked first as a weaver and later (1750–65) became the court minstrel of Irakli II of Georgia. In 1770 he entered a monastery in Haghbat, and he was martyred by the Persian invaders of Georgia. Most of his extant songs are in Azeri Turkish; the rest are in Armenian and Georgian.

Sayat Nova (El color de la granada), Censurada por la Unión Soviética, una de las películas más sorprendentes y surrealistas del incómodo ─subversivo incluso─ cineasta armenio Sergei Paradjanov.
If Sayat Nova wrote hundreds of songs in Armenian, Azerbaijani, and Georgian, then why are the cross-cultural celebrations of Sayat Nova so few and far between? Gaps in the historical record and contemporary political environment make a pancultural perspective of the legendary bard of the Caucasus more difficult.View Post

Floundering for some way to describe obtuse or complex art, critics often rely on the adjective “poetic”. It can come to mean nearly anything in this context and the word loses any descriptive power. In The Colour of Pomegranates (Sayat Nova), the late Soviet director, Sergei Paradjanov, makes an earnest attempt to fuse poetry and […]
Some films are so highly visual that each frame resembles an artistic photo. Sergi Parajanov's 'The Color of Pomegranates' on the other hand, resembles paintings from centuries past (albeit with a Bunuel-esque twist). An artistic take on the life of Armenian poet Sayat Nova, it depicts Nova's humble beginnings as wool dying child laborer to…
Sergei Parajanov's 1968 masterpiece The Color of Pomegranates (Sayat Nova) is not only one of the best films I've ever seen, it is also one of the most craft-laden films I have ever seen! It's got tatting! Loom weaving! Some holier than thou knitting angels (work those toe-up socks, kids!)... ...complete with their "close-knit" family members. It even features the…
