This is why it strives to collect the materials which are directly related to its life’s and culture’s past and entails both the freshest and oldest memories. The Armenian nation also tries to restore the well forgotten pages of its history and pass it on to the next generation, because it is the most important aspect of long-lasting and maintenance of the national type and ethnicity. 
Artist Khoren Ter-Harutyan was born in 1909 in Western Armenian Ashotavan village which is situated in Kharberd state. In 1921 he settled in Wooster, state of Massachusetts, the USA. He studied both at the local high school and at Wooster’s Art Museum School of Fine Arts.
Khoren Ter-Harutyan has devoted him not only to sculpture making, but also worked in the fields of graphics and fine arts. There is a glimpse of defined topics which can be seen through the tissues of all of his compositions – family, maternity, crime, genocide, war.
