Both his father, Vincent Manago (1880-1936) and his older brother, Dominique Manago, were respected artists...but they painted in radically different styles...styles that were so far removed from that of Armand that he used Guérin as his last name when signing his work.

He entered the School of Fine Arts (Ecole des Beaux Arts) in Paris where he studied with Jean-Pierre Laurens, until 1939. He is listed in Bénézit as well as other art compendiums and is a noted figure with regards to the French naïve school style of painting.

(A group that includes Cezanne, Van Gogh, Rousseau, Gauguin).

In 1947, he married Marianne Grunberg-Manago who later became a famous scientist in molecular biology. As they both used to say, in order to become a good scientist you also have to be an artist
