Panos Terlemezian (1865-1941) was an Armenian landscape and portrait painter; known for his support of Armenian nationalist causes. In 1915, he was one of the organizers of the Defense of Van, a city where thousands of villagers had sought refuge from the Armenian genocide. When their defense failed, he accompanied the refugees who had managed to escape and, once again, found himself living in Tbilisi. The following year, he was one of the founding members of the Union of Armenian Artists and established its branch in Rostov-on-Don. From 1920 to 1923, he spent much of his time in France and Italy. He then went to the United States; painting portraits in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and, especially, Fresno, a city with a large number of Armenian emigrants, where he held major solo exhibitions in 1925 and 1926. At the invitation of the Transcaucasian SFSR, he returned home in 1928 and settled in Yerevan; presenting a solo exhibition at the National Gallery of Armenia in 1929.The following year, he was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor. He became a member of the Artists' Union of the USSR upon its founding, in 1932.After his death, the government of the Armenian SSR renamed the Yerevan College of Fine Arts in his honor.
