About Paul Guiragossian
Born in 1925 to Armenian parents survivors of the Armenian Genocide, Paul Guiragossian experienced exile since a very tender age. In the 1940s he enrolled at the Yarkon Studio of art in Jaffa. Around 1948, the Guiragossians were evacuated from Jerusalem by the British and were sent on ships to Lebanon; the country that the artist would ultimately adopt as his home. There he would discard the academicism still adopted by many of his peers to develop the abstract compositions for which he would become known.
