Massis Armen Bahador was, until recently, one of many Armenian artists delegated to obscurity. He is an unknown figure in both Armenia and the Diaspora. A Diasporan-Armenian Bahador was a survivor of the Armenian Genocide. He was educated in Europe and painted for pleasure. He never put down his brush and palette. He produced countless paintings with great technical experience and delicate artistic taste.
