By a Frenchman: About an Armenian architect
Soon a book presentation for French journalist and writer Mishel
Formon will take place at the `Narekatsi Art Center' for his book,
`The Lost Paradise of Christ.' The book was published in September by
the `Tigran Mets' publishing company. The hero of the book is
architect and painter Kristapor Tadevosyan. As Naira Hayrapetyan of
the Narekatsi Center said, the translation of Formon's book into
Armenian allows the reader to find out about the creations and life of
Kristapor Tadevosyan, a student of Alexander Tamanyan and who was
educated in Geneva. Tadevosyan had roots in historical Agulis
(Nakhichevan), and his sister's grandson was Kristapor Mikayelyan, a
founder of Dashnaktsutyun, after which he was named. The book's author
gives a good history of Tadevosyan's family, as well as the history of
Armenia in the first quarter of the 20th century.
We add that the hero of the book moved from Tehran to Geneva in 1973,
where he lived the rest of his life. He died in 1992.
