Paul Guiragossian
Born in 1926 in Jerusalem to Armenian parents, survivors of the Armenian Genocide, Paul Guiragossian experienced the consequences of exile from a very tender age. Paul passed away in 1993 on the 20th of November in Beirut, after finalizing a magnificent oil painting, which he revealed to his family to be his best work yet. “ I finally accomplished what I always hoped for, bringing the old and the new in one painting.” This painting later entitled L'Adieu by the Guiragossians remains unsigned and in the Family Collection.
