On the left is one of the great portraits of the 20th century: Arshile Gorky’s ‘The Artist with His Mother’. It is inspired by the photograph on the right—of Gorky as a child with his mother, a few years before she died of starvation soon after the Armenian Genocide. He painted variations of this same painting throughout his life. Notice the hands, and now watch this short film titled Ararat (Excerpts)—which is derived from the movie ‘Ararat’ written and directed by Oscar-nominated director Atom Egoyan. The images above is just context so you can appreciate this tribute to the power of a child’s love, memory and loss that will likely make you cry.
