Biography[]
Ghannam contracted Gout as a child and used a wheelchair throughout his life.[1] He painted scenes of village life in a naïve style using bright colours.[1]
Ghannam is the subject of Adnan Mdanat's 1977 documentary film Palestinian Visions.[2]
He said in an interview: "I feel that my life stopped at the age of 17, because that is how old I was when I left, and I only live when I dream of those days."[3]
