Late 20th century Greek Art

Late 20th century Greek Art, at the National Gallery, Athens.

We recently went to the National Gallery to see the Goya exhibition. Even though we have seen the permanent collection quite a few times, we had another look at some of the exhibits and here, I am including some of my favourites.

Nikos Kessanlis, Portrait of Dinos Georgoudis, 1976, (mixed media on canvas)

Nikos Kessanlis, Portrait of Vlassis Caniaris, 1965, (photograph on light-sensitive fabric)

I love Kessanlis' work. You can see more of it here
