Zako

Zako thats how the Germans called the Armenian painter Sargis Mangasaryan, who endured the hell of military camps. Zako survived by drawing portraits of his tormentors. In 1956, he visits a Picasso exhibition and is stunned as he stands before the great masters iconic work: Guernica. Zako realizes how much he had missed in his own art. Though his talent saved his life, it was stifled first by war and then by the Soviet dictatorship.
