The article is a brief study of the famous Armenian sculptor-painter Khoren TerHaroutyan’s works of art echoing the cataclysmic events of 1915. Such works as “Deir El-Zor”, “In the waves of the Euphrates”, “I’ll curse the day when I was born,” encapsulating the artist’s childhood memories and tragic experiences, permeate with a deep feeling of suffering and pain.
