    The event will feature works by Harutiun Galentz

    BY ARA KASARIAN

    On Sunday, March 16, 1 pm at the Fairmont Hotel in Newport Beach,
    Calif., Saro Galentz -- son of Haroutiun Galentz -- will be here from
    Armenia to speak about the life of his father, in an event titled
    "The Man, The Mind and Heart of One of Our Nations Most Accomplished
    Artists."

    Saro, who followed in his fathers footsteps, an accomplished artist
    himself, and now Professor of the Yerevan State Fine Arts Academy,
    will discuss the life and times of growing up a Galentz. Haroutiun
    Galentz, an orphan, lived through our nations tragedy of genocide
    and continued to live on to become one of Armenia's most accomplished
    artists. Through his works, Haroutiun was able to express life as he
    saw it, on canvas and through color as a form.

    Saro will have at the event some of his father's paintings to
    showcase. Saro also will be bringing 20 pieces of his own works to
    sell at this event and will donate all the proceeds to the Society for
    Orphaned Armenians Relief -- Orange County (SOAR-OC) which will benefit
    Armenian orphans. Saro feels that since his father was an orphan,
    he wanted to contribute back in some form to help other orphans,
    so he choose to donate his works to help in a small way.

    This is a must see event. Attendees will have the opportunity to look
    into the life and times of Haroutiun as seen through his son's eyes.

    At this meet and greet, you will be able to see a few of his father's
    paintings. All other paintings are now housed at the recently
    opened Galentz Museum in Yerevan, the Yerevan Modern Art Museum, the
    Echmiadzin Art Gallery, the Charentsavan Art Gallery, the Vanadzor
    Museum, the Kapan Modern Art Museum, as well as in various private
    collections throughout the world.
