Skunder Boghossian is among the founders of modern Ethiopian art. He comes from the family of Armenian parents who had a lasting influence in music,architecture and commerce. His sojourn in France in the late 50s and 60s had a tremendous impact on him; he couldn’t see art the way he used to. Then in the years he became a teacher at the Addis Ababa School of Fine Arts his influence on the students was huge that his art became a school of thought in its own right. Skunder spent most of his life teaching art in Howard University in Washington D.C. where he passed away in 2003.
