Armed resistance in Van province, Mussa Dagh, Shabin Karahisar and
Urfa - as well as setbacks in the war - prevented the Turks for
deporting the urban Armenian population in the Ottoman Empire's major
cities. Today there are less than 60,000 Armenians in Turkey compared
to at least 1.8 million in 1910.

Art, Modern
We are all acquainted with the tales - many apocryphal, some real - of
how art critiques, curators, collectors and buyers were fooled into
purchasing "works of art" created by monkeys. The animals "painted" by
dipping their paws in pigments and running to and fro over empty
canvasses.
There are numerous such striking examples of the fluidity of what
constitutes art and the dubious expertise of art "professionals".
There is no other masterpiece so studied, analyzed and scrutinized as
Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. Yet, when it was stolen from the Louvre
in Paris in 1912, forgers passed 6 replicas as the original, selling
them for a fortune. The painting was rediscovered in 1915.
Henri Matisse is revered as the father of Fauvism and of modern
painting in general.
