THE GREEK SALE | 7 3 GEORGIOS JAKOBIDES (1852-1932) Drummer boy bearing signature in Greek (lower right) oil on canvas 53 x 37.5 cm. £18,000 - 25,000 €20,000 - 28,000 Provenance Glavanis collection, Volos, Greece and hence by descent to the present owner. As the writer Pavlos Nirvanas once said of Jakobides, the miracle of childhood is not something anybody can capture on canvas. A child, with its flexible bone structure, fleeting form and mercurial fluidity is hardly a shape per se. It is liquid, nebulous, a play of light, an entity both imaginary and animate.1 Drummer Boy is an isolated scene singled out from one of Jakobides’s most famous and beloved pictures, namely Children’s symphony formerly in the esteemed Loulis-Kraniotis collection, in which a group of children has set up an improvised orchestra in a country house interior. The fact that Jakobides chose this specific scene clearly indicates the importance he attached to its poignant expression, gesture and body language.2 Although the well-groomed boy is shown from behind (note the marvellous play of light on his purple striped shirt) with his facial expression barely visible, the artist, nonetheless, managed to produce a picture that vibrates with energy and life, conveying the excitement children feel when making music with simple objects. 1 See P. Nirvanas, “The Painter of Children” [in Greek], Pinakothiki journal, 12 (1912-13), 100-101. 2 The same is true with the isolated figure of the Boy with watering can (National Bank of Greece collection) singled out from his equally famous Children’s concert at the Athens National Gallery.

  • Issues of Gender Representation in Modern Greek Art the Case of Thaleia Flora-Caravia’S Photographic Images and Self-Portraits
    p Issues of Gender Representation in Modern Greek Art The Case of Thaleia Flora-Caravia’s Photographic Images and Self-Portraits Despoina Tsourgianni ABSTRACT There is a recent trend, mainly in the fi eld of historiography but also in art history, toward the exploration of female autobiographical discourse, whether it concerns writ- ten (autobiographies, correspondence), painted (self-portraits), or photographic data. On the basis of the highly fruitful gender perspective, this article seeks to present and interpret the numerous photographs of the well-known Greek painter Thaleia Flora- Caravia. These photographic recordings, taken almost exclusively from the painter’s unpublished personal archive, are inextricably linked to the artist’s self-portraits. This kind of cross-examination allows the reader to become familiar with the mosaic of roles and identities that constitutes the subjectivity of female artists in Greece in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. KEYWORDS: autobiography, female artist, modern Greek art, photography, self-portrait p Introduction No opening words could be more appropriate to introduce a study on twentieth- century artist representation than the verses of Rainer Maria Rilke on the painter Paula Modersohn-Becker: So free of curiosity your gaze had become, so unpossessive, of such true poverty, it no longer desired even you yourself; it wanted nothing: holy.1 aspasia Volume 13, 2019: 31–64 doi:10.3167/asp.2019.130105 32 DESPOINA TSOURGIANNI It is of key importance to note the way in which this emblematic poet of modernity perceives the ideal depiction of oneself: as one being stripped of any vanity that leads to the beautifi cation of physical characteristics.

  • GEORGE ZONGOLOPOULOS George Zongolopoulos (Athens, 1903-2004) Was One of the Most Important Greek Artists and Representatives Of
    GEORGE ZONGOLOPOULOS George Zongolopoulos (Athens, 1903-2004) was one of the most important Greek artists and representatives of the so called “Generation of 1930s” with diverse and internationally recognized work. The work of the artist, who was often called the “eternal teenager”, extends across the unusual vector of time of almost eight decades, and its rich range of subject matter is characterized by incessant renewal. Biography George Zongolopoulos was born on March 1st, 1903, in Deligiorgi Street in the center of Athens, while his place of origin was the village Manna or Markasi in Corinth (as Zongolopoulos narrated to his family the real year of his birth was 1901 and not 1903 as is appeared in all his official documents). He grew up in a family of lawyers that did not encourage him to deal professionally with art, although he showed a special inclination towards painting and drawing from childhood. He served his military service as a sergeant until 1923 and during that period he met his peer and later important Greek architect Patroklos Karantinos, who became one of his closest friends and colleagues. First years of apprenticeship o National Technical University of Athens, Athens School of Fine Arts (1924-1930) In 1924 he entered the Athens School of Fine Arts and studied sculpture under Academician Thomas Thomopoulos. In his student years he expressed with militancy his opinion on the need for modernization and reorganization of teaching, and also on the need to increase the School‟s budget. His attitude towards the academicism of the School and his participation in the “occupation” of the School by its students in 1929 meant for the young Zongolopoulos expulsion from the School for a year.
