Dimitris Mytaras (June 1934 – 16 February 2017)

Dimitris Mytaras  was a Greek artist who is considered one of the important Greek painters of the 20th century.

His work was mainly inspired by the human figure, and a combination of naturalism and expressionism. From the 1960s onward, Mytaras moved in the direction of naturalism, while from 1975 an expressionistic approach became more and more marked in his output.

Dimitris Mytaras was born in 1934 in Chalkis. From 1953 till 1957, Mytaras studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts under Yiannis Moralis. Later on he studied stage design at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. From 1964 till 1972, he directed the Interior Decoration Workshop of the Athens Technological Institute. Since 1975 he has been teaching at the Painting Workshop of the Athens School of Fine Arts. Mytaras has participated in more than 30 international group shows, including the 1972 Venice Biennale. Mytaras died on 16 February 2017 following major health complications, He was 83.

 

Jiannis Kounellis (23 March 1936 – 16 February 2017)

Jannis Kounellis ( was a Greek-Italian contemporary artist based in Rome.He studied in art college in Athens until 1956 and at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome.

In 1967, Kounellis became associated with Arte Povera, a movement theorized by curator Germano Celant as a major shift from work on flat surfaces to installations. Kounellis participated in the exhibition ‘Arte Povera – e IM Spazio’ at the La Bertesca Gallery in Genoa curated by Germano Celant, which brought together artists whose work was concerned with the space between art and life, and nature and culture. Examples of artists who substantiated this basis of Arte Povera as a movement include Alighiero Boetti, Luciano Fabro, Giulio Paolini, Pino Pascali and Emilio Prini. To solidify the movement, Germano Celant curated another group show, ‘Arte Povera’, which was exhibited at the De’ Foscherari gallery in Bologna in 1968 with similar artists; . In the same year Kounellis exhibited ‘Senza titolo (Untitled)’, which consisted of raw wool, rope and a wooden structure all leaning against a wall. Finally, Kounellis was also included in ‘RA3 Arte Povera + Azioni povere’ which was organized by Marcello Rumma and curated by Germano Celant.

In 1967, Kounellis installed “live birds in cages along with rose-shaped, cloth cut-outs pinned to canvas” alongside his painting. Through this shift in his work, “Kounellis was more interested in anarchical freedom from linguistic norms and conventional materials. The space of the gallery and the exhibition site in general were transformed into a stage where real life and fiction could join in a suspension of disbelief.”The viewers became part of the scene of these living natural sources of energy within the gallery space. He continued his involvement with live animals later in 1969, when he exhibited twelve living horses, as if they were cars, in the Galleria l’Attico’s new location in an old garage in Via Beccaria. Gradually, Kounellis introduced new materials, such as propane torches, smoke, coal, meat, ground coffee, lead, and found wooden objects into his installations. He also looked beyond the gallery environment to historical (mostly industrial) sites. In 1997, Kounellis installed thirteen wardrobes and two doors that were sealed in lead along a scaffolding ledge that blocked the entry to a central hall. In 1968, in an interview by Marisa Volpi, Kounellis stated that incidental adjustments are certain as aspects that can indicate the human liberty of life.

RIP Panayiotis Tetsis

Panayiotis Tetsis was a Greek painter. Tetsis was a genuine exponent of the post-impressionistic seascape tradition.

Born in 1925 on the island of Hydra, where he spent his childhood and early teenage years, Tetsis moved to Piraeus in 1937 .

Legacy

Though the artist depicts marine themes that are familiar to him – mostly set against the backdrop of Hydra and Sifnos. “If I take a long voyage at sea, I get bored,” Tetsis says, “and I don’t agree with Cavafy that headed for Ithaca we ought to hope that the voyage lasts as long as possible.” And he adds: “I paint a large number of my seas from memory. I don’t need to paint them from life. And even if I do, I change them later in my studio, even changing them totally.”

Balancing discipline and emotion, Tetsis regards himself as a painter driven by the senses. His singularity, according to Koutsomallis, consists in his combination of “elegiac colour tones, compositional clarity and precision, thematic variety, a monumental character and freely, openly sketched contours”.

In 1949 Tetsis along with Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghikas, Yannis Moralis, Nikos Nikolaou, Nikos Engonopoulos and Yiannis Tsarouchis, established the “Armos” art group.

B. & M. Theocharakis Foundation, Athens || Exhibition: Philhellenism in Art: Paintings and objects d’art from the collection of Michalis and Dimitra Varkaraki || until 03.05.2015

Philhellenism as a concept first developed in the West during the Renaissance. During the years, however, the Enlightenment was realized how helped the Greek spirit in the formation of new political ideas. When the Greeks decided to throw off their yoke hard, sympathy Europeans peaked. Hundreds of intellectuals or ordinary people rushed to help the struggle of the Greeks, with their pen, with their swords and with their financial remanence.

One of the most important manifestations of sympathy to the Greek people was the artistic creation in all its forms : poetry, drama, music and especially painting and other visual arts.

This expression is presented through tables European painters of the 19th century decorative and utilitarian objects (dishes, clocks, statues, bottles for perfumes, Crockery, candlesticks, medals table games cartridges et. al.) in a variety of themes, colors and semi-precious materials, which are the unimpeachable witnesses of Greek struggle for freedom.

British Museum || Exhibition: Defining beauty. The body in ancient Greek art || until 05.07.2015

Experience the brilliance and diversity of ancient Greek art in this major exhibition focusing on the human body.

For centuries the ancient Greeks experimented with ways of representing the human body, both as an object of beauty and a bearer of meaning.

The remarkable works of art in the exhibition range from abstract simplicity of prehistoric figurines to breathtaking realism in the age of Alexander the Great. These works continued to inspire artists for hundreds of years, giving form to thought and shaping our own perceptions of ourselves.

‘The chief forms of beauty are order, symmetry and clear delineation’ – Aristotle
