  • 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.

  • Art and Ideology in Modern Greece
    ART AND IDEOLOGY IN MODERN GREECE I awoke with this marble head in my hands which makes my elbows ache and I don’t know where to set it down. It was falling into the dream as I was coming out of the dream and thus our lives were joined and it will be very hard to separate them. George Seferis From Mυθιστόρημα Γ’ Hellenism awoke from the long lethargy of Turkish enslavement with a marble head in its hands. A marble head that did not belong to a genuine ancient statue. Was it meant to be ancient or neoclassical? It was simply a fake. We did not choose it in full awareness, we did not love it. Foreigners merely placed it in our hands. And it still makes our elbows ache. The lines of George Seferis acquire a sudden dramatic urgency when they are linked to the historical fortunes of Greece. The quest for a past that could be used as a historical and ideological support in the new state, appeared to be one of the most pressing concerns for this fledgling kingdom. This choice did not express, could not express the free volition of the Greeks. It was imposed by historical circumstances. The quest for models in the past presupposes a people with some political maturity. A people that looks to the past for its models of rejuvenation. Its choices must be dictated by the needs of the present and the future. Only then is a dialogue with instructive models productive and fruitful. Greeks belonged to a typical traditional society and emerged bloodied by a long period of servitude and an unfair struggle.
