THE EMERGENCE OF MODERN GREEK ART The starting point for the art of Modern Greece coincides with the founding of the independent Greek state in 1832, following the successful outcome of the Greek War of Independence. The generation of artists born between 1821 and 1843, when King Otto was forced to concede to the first Greek constitution, includes towering figures of 19th c. landscape, history and genre painting, who dominated the Greek art scene until the early years of the 20th century. C. Volanakis, the undisputed father of Greek seascape painting, and S. Sabbides, an exceptionally gifted colourist, studied at the Munich School of Fine Arts, one of the most distinguished European academic institutions, which became a training gwround for many talented Greek artists. T. Ralli, the dean of Greek orientalists, studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris under Jean-Léon Gérôme and was later awarded the Medal of the Legion of Honour by the French Government. These artists often transcended the strict academic doctrines to fashion a distinctly personal style. 1 THÉODORE JACQUES RALLI (1852-1909) In 1892, the first illustrated editions of D. Vikelas’s Loukis Laras1 novel Thirteen drawings for the novel by Dimitrios Vikelas ‘Loukis Laras were published in Greek and French. To make his novel more attractive (1879)’ and at the same time promote Greek art to a wider audience, the all signed ‘Ralli’ author and legendary Greek businessman, writer and first President of gouache and ink on cardboard the International Olympic Committee Demetrius Vikelas (1835-1908), 22 x 29 cm, 22.5 x 28.5 cm, 23 x 29 cm, 24 x 29 cm, 24 x 29.5 cm, commissioned the illustrations from Theodoros Ralli, the dean of Greek 24 x 30 cm, 24 x 30.2 cm, 24 x 30.5 cm, 24 x 30.5 cm, 24 x 30.5 cm, orientalist painters.

  • Transplanting Surrealism in Greece- a Scandal Or Not?
    International Journal of Social and Educational Innovation (IJSEIro) Volume 2 / Issue 3/ 2015 Transplanting Surrealism in Greece- a Scandal or Not? NIKA Maklena University of Tirana, Albania E-mail: [email protected] Received 26.01.2015; Accepted 10.02. 2015 Abstract Transplanting the surrealist movement and literature in Greece and feedback from the critics and philological and journalistic circles of the time is of special importance in the history of Modern Greek Literature. The Greek critics and readers who were used to a traditional, patriotic and strictly rule-conforming literature would find it hard to accept such a kind of literature. The modern Greek surrealist writers, in close cooperation mainly with French surrealist writers, would be subject to harsh criticism for their surrealist, absurd, weird and abstract productivity. All this reaction against the transplanting of surrealism in Greece caused the so called “surrealist scandal”, one of the biggest scandals in Greek letters. Keywords: Surrealism, Modern Greek Literature, criticism, surrealist scandal, transplanting, Greek letters 1. Introduction When Andre Breton published the First Surrealist Manifest in 1924, Greece had started to produce the first modern works of its literature. Everything modern arrives late in Greece due to a number of internal factors (poetic collection of Giorgios Seferis “Mythistorima” (1935) is considered as the first modern work in Greek literature according to Αlexandros Argyriou, History of Greek Literature and its perception over years between two World Wars (1918-1940), volume Α, Kastanioti Publications, Athens 2002, pp. 534-535). Yet, on the other hand Greek writers continued to strongly embrace the new modern spirit prevailing all over Europe.

    ENG TAKIS Exhibition from 22 November 2019 to 19 April 2020 Takis, Magnetic Fields (detail), 1969. Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York. Partial gift, Robert Spitzer, by exchange, 1970. © ADAGP, Paris and DACS, London 2019. Photo: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York #TakisMACBA “Electromagnetism is an infinite, invisible thing, […] I would like to render it visible so as to communicate its existence and make its importance known; I would like to make visible this invisible, colourless, non-sensual, naked world which cannot irritate our eye, taste or sex. Which is simply pure thought.” Takis Meier Building Level 0 PANAYIOTIS VASSILAKIS, KNOWN AS TAKIS, was born in Athens in 1925 and died in August 2019. He was a member of the Resistance during the German occupation of Greece, and he was imprisoned during the Greek Civil War, which broke out in 1946. He was a self-taught artist who began by studying classic ancient sculpture. He went to Paris in 1954 and lived there for long periods of time. It was the city where he also started exploring the sculptural possibilities of electromagnetism. For Takis, the visual qualities of an artwork were not the most important ones: “What I was obsessed with was the concept of energy.” This exhibition is not chronological. Instead, it is arranged by some of the most outstanding aspects of Takis’s work. In the mid-1950s, Takis began experimenting with the use of energy and movement in sculpture. “What I was interested in was the idea of bringing a new, uninterrupted and living force to iron sculpture.

Life, as we know it, has changed for all of us. It has been almost three weeks since theatres and cultural venues closed down, and day by day we have come to realise how important contact with the living Arts is in our lives. Theatres are hubs, places of reflection, entertainment, homes we go to in groups, audiences and artists alike, hoping for something that real life cannot offer us. Can anyone fathom what our society will be like after this crisis and how important its cultural reflection will be through artist insight and sensitivity? The presence of an international festival will be, more than ever, a need and our duty. The Athens & Epidaurus Festival is an international event that has been warmly embraced by audiences and artists for 65 years. Normally on this day we would all be at Peiraios 260, together with friends, artists and journalists, to announce our programme. This is a programme we have been working on for seven months now, in collaboration with the entire Festival team and with the practical support of our Board of Directors, as well as my invaluable team of artistic advisors: Stefanie Carp for international theatre productions, Costa Pilavachi for music, Ilias Chatzigeorgiou for dance and Evi Nakou for artistic research and audience development.

  • Michael Stevens' the Road to Interzone
    “The scholarship surrounding the life and work of William Burroughs is in the midst of a renaissance. Students of Burroughs are turning away from myths, legends, and sensationalistic biographical detail in order to delve deeply into textual analysis, archival research, and explorations of literary and artistic history. Michael Stevens’ The Road to Interzone is an important part of this changing landscape. In a manner similar to Ralph Maud’s Charles Olson’s Reading, The Road to Interzone places the life and literature of “el Hombre Invisible” into sharper focus by listing and commenting on, in obsessive detail, the breadth of literary material Burroughs read, referred to, researched, and reviewed. Stevens reveals Burroughs to be a man of letters and of great learning, while simultaneously shedding light on the personal obsessions, pet theories, childhood favorites, and guilty pleasures, which make Burroughs such a unique and fascinating figure. Stevens’ book provides a wealth of new and important information for those deeply interested in Burroughs and will no doubt prove essential to future scholarship. Like Oliver Harris’ The Secret of Fascination and Robert Sobieszek’s Ports of Entry before it, The Road to Interzone is an indispensable addition to the canon of Burroughs Studies.” -Jed Birmingham “Michael Stevens has created a new kind of biography out of love for William S. Burroughs and love of books. Author worship and bibliophilia become one at the point of obsession, which of course is the point where they become interesting. Burroughs’ reading was intense and far flung, and Stevens has sleuthed out a portrait of that reading--the books Burroughs lent his name to in the form of introductions and blurbs, the books in his various libraries, the books he refers to, the books that found their way into his writing, and much more! Along with lively notes from Stevens, we have Burroughs throughout--his opinions, perceptions, the ‘grain of his voice.’ That in itself makes Stevens’ book a notable achievement.

  • 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.
