On
Wednesday the 25th of February opens at "ASTROLAVOS artlife"
a painting exhibition of the artist Giorgo Manousaki (1914-2003).
A year after the death of this important
representative of the generation of the thirties, ASTROLAVOS,
who has been closely collaborating with the artist, is presenting
14 of his characteristic works, in which his perfect artistic
writing becomes obvious.
Being a modest, tender character and a gifted
artist, Manousakis has depicted simple objects with a detailed
realistic manner in which everyday life is reflected. Through
an austere three dimensional pattern of painting he managed
to depict the "Lacrimae rerum", and at the same
time through the use of bright tones gave a sensual and a
sweet atmosphere in his landscapes.
He worked with aquarelle and egg tempera
with a very distinctive expertise but also his few attainments
with oil had excellent results. Although he hadn't painted
many paintings and usually presented small scale works, Manousakis
managed to leave his stigma in Greek painting through a very
comprehensive work full in sentimental charge that only important
artists manage to cultivate.
Exhibition until: March 18.
