Dans la Nuit (or Nostalgie) (1986)
Born to Armenian parents survivors of the Armenian Genocide, Paul Guiragossian experienced exile since a very tender age. His talent was first noticed during his early school years in Jerusalem. He would soon start making portraits in order to support his mother. In the 1940s he enrolled at the Yarkon Studio of art in Jaffa. Around 1948, the Guiragossians were evacuated from Palestine by the British and were sent on ships to Lebanon.
