«RIZOSPASTIS» 16 SUNDAY, August 25, 1996 Theodoros Markellos His art, his life and breath He will donate to the Municipality of Trikala so many paintings of his that they will constitute a municipal gallery bearing his name These days, a significant cultural event is taking place. The distinguished painter Theodoros Markellos, through my mediation, has agreed to donate so many of his paintings to the Municipality of Trikala that they will form a municipal gallery bearing his name. This is a visual arts event in our region that must be highlighted, as donations by painters to municipalities for the creation of galleries are rare. Certainly, the donation is made under certain conditions, namely that the works will be inalienable and available for public viewing. The donor, Theodoros Markellos, has undertaken extensive studies in the field of visual arts. After receiving his diploma from the National School of Fine Arts, he was awarded a state scholarship for Spain. He furthered his education in Madrid and simultaneously conducted intensive studies at renowned Spanish art museums. One could say that he thoroughly absorbed the great Spanish painter Velázquez. He still holds in his hands some copies from that period, such as the famous Dwarf by Velázquez, which is a wonderful copy. Later, he engaged with French landscapes, particularly the Seine, as well as Italy, Rome, Florence, and Venice. Returning to Greece after this long period of education, he followed the visual arts current of Greece. If it is true that art is the sensitive seismograph of a place and an era, in our time, which was shaken by unprecedented tragic events such as the Second World War, the Holocaust of the Jews, and particularly our own occupation and the heroic EAM resistance, with all of Greece echoing “EAM, EAM resounds, all of Greece with one voice,” these tragic events demanded form. And since art, in order to shape tragic social events, requires distance from them, there was then a tendency to work. Through work, we will find the form of representation. The then rector of the National School of Fine Arts, K. Grammatopoulos, used to tell his students, when asked which path to follow, “Work, work, and you will find your way.” The same was said by K. Plakioteris, N. Kastanakis, Valasamakis, etc. And we can say that with this tendency of continuous work, the characteristic style in Greece reached a very high international level. level with main representatives Grammatopoulos, G. Varla- mos, Taso, Anousi and a dozen other characters that in no way fall short of the high standard of international character. Markellos followed this line of continuous effort for the shaping of the visual spirit. And he became the most prolific Painter of Greece. There is no place like My- konos, Skyros, Attica, Pelion whose landscape did not engage him. He depicted the beauty of the Greek countryside with inspiration and sincerity. At the same time he dealt with portraiture in an admirable way. I believe that Markellos made art his life and breath. He sanctified his mission and art placed him among the honored representatives of it. He lived exclusively by his art and still has in his hands 2,000 paintings. Nikos ALEXIOU

Visual Arts Written by Leon Sigalas, collaborator of “ANDRIAKI” and Technocrat ★ TH. MARKELOS: The Painter of Natural Transparency. On the evening of February 1st, in the ARGO gallery on Merlin Street, the artist’s latest exhibition opens, featuring over 20 works by painter Theodoros Markellos. Markellos is not unknown in Andros. Besides being a dear friend of Andros, he has held 2 exhibitions that marked great success. His paintings are full of light—Greek, distinct, pure, transparent, which shows that the landscape acts in his inner world with a wonder that this action influences his sensitivity and thus enables him to capture with precision the luminosity of the landscape and with a simple and vigorous brushstroke he captures on his canvas this miracle called the Greek landscape, the Greek scenery. Paul Cézanne said that painting should not be the slavish representation of objects. Markellos goes further, he found the soul of the landscape and manages to capture it within his canvas, with simplicity and transparency. After discovering the unique identity of each landscape, he enters deeply into the soul of the landscape. One of his paintings with a general view of Andros at a time of absolute stillness. A warm summer day, around 4 in the afternoon, taken from the old road of Apokies, makes you feel the warmth of the sun, to smell the haze of the hot sea of Neapoli, it is the painting with the apotheosis of Aegean light. Another one showing a sunset in Hydra makes you feel the humidity of the sea and perceive the reflection of the lights in the calm water of the harbor, as if it were melted gold. Another piece of Andros taken around the XENIA hotel, on a day with very fresh meltemi winds, which shows Plakoura covered by the foam of the waves and in the background Agia Thalassini with the Castle and the lighthouse. All covered with the foam of the meltemi waves, makes you feel the drops on your face, and on your hands and you shiver: Markellos is a great master. Simple in line, but expressive, simple in description, transparent in atmosphere and in light, this is Markellos and his trilogy under Phoebus. He is the painter who captures the soul of the landscape, he is the interpreter of Cézanne’s characterization who found the solution in the middle way without reaching the extremes of anti- beyond expectations. Markellos, a professor at the School of Fine Arts, aims to produce masters who will return Greek art to its roots, so that art may rise again to where the Greek people desire it, allowing them to feel it as their own art rather than as imitations of European extremes, which in Greece represent an unfamiliar way of life. Markellos was born in Athens in 1925 and received his diploma from the Higher School of Fine Arts in 1953, earning the unique honorary distinction for diplomas. — — — ★ YANNIS PALAIOKRASSAS: The Politician-Painter or the Painter-Politician? He seems equally successful in both activities, and we leave the answer to the question to him. On February 24, the exhibition of paintings by Cyclades MP K. Yannis Palaiokrassas, who signs many of his works as PALEO, is held at DEMOKRITO. He presented 20 paintings, watercolors, and oil on canvas, with themes of landscapes and landscape compositions, primarily from the Cyclades and marine life, with the exception of two paintings featuring English landscapes. In both, he demonstrates wonderful sensitivity, contrasting the English light with the harsh and transparent Cycladic light. Part of the proceeds from the sale of the paintings, which were all sold out, will be donated to the University of Algiers. Yannis Palaiokrassas is self-taught and has been painting for 5 years. As he himself states: “Certainly, painting remains for me the main source of satisfaction. It gives me... — — — Yannis Palaiokrassas’s painting passes through various periods, starting from the purely naturalistic phase, as seen in his various landscapes, and culminating in allegories and dreamlike compositions that show influences from his childhood years and references to the history of his naval family, since his grandfather, a captain, built the first family cargo ship, the 'Irete', which appears in his paintings. The Cycladic light, with all its brilliance and transparency, fills his works, such as Giokos’s house in Stenies. A politician who is so sensitive to such nuances, like the transparent Cycladic light, reveals a complete and balanced personality, two s

VISUAL ARTS THEODOROS MARKELOS The presence of the outstanding artist in the galleries of "ARGO" on Merlin Street was a surprise. After a long absence from the forefront of the art of colors, it was only natural that he would astonish us with his new contribution, consisting of thirty-four paintings dedicated to Greek beauties. Lyrical, dreamy, and emotional, the well-known artist once again impresses with his conscientious work, the sensitivity that characterizes him, and his love for every landscape, both island and mainland, that ecstasizes, moves, and inspires him to create inspired works expressing the traditional elements of the immortal impressionist period of the great masters who wrote the golden pages of visual art history. Theodoros Markellos, born in Athens, a graduate of the Athens School of Fine Arts, won the unique distinction of the diploma examinations with five honorary distinctions. With a significant scholarship, he studied at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in Madrid, and later at the Higher School of Fine Arts in Paris. To date, he has held twenty-one solo exhibitions in Greece, Spain, Italy, and the United States, while in between, he participated in nine national exhibitions, many group exhibitions in Greece and abroad, and six international ones. He was awarded prizes in Russia and Italy. His works are held in the National Gallery, the Greek Parliament, the Municipal Gallery of Thessaloniki, the Governorate of the city of Thessaloniki, the Voreios Museum, various embassies, banks, public services, and private collections. Theodoros Markellos is the painter of impressions with strong elements of natural colors and intense lighting, which he possesses in abundance. He has the power to captivate with sensuality and simple lyrical color voices that adorn the landscapes that move him, wherever they are, wherever he encounters them. An "Album" full of Greece is his new exhibition. As you flip through it, the light-filled images captivate you, with the perfect, masterful iridescences that the artist ● Written by PERSEUS ATHINAOS He captures it directly from nature itself. In an idyllic wandering, seeking the emotion and pulse of nature itself, he stands enraptured by the charm offered by a poetry-filled afternoon in Hydra, its picturesque little harbor, mirroring the shape of the historic island in the Saronic Gulf, and even a snapshot of some romantic corner of Hydra, captured from his window. Theodoros Markellos is the troubadour painter who has succeeded in singing, through the divine power granted by his art, the idylls that arise in each landscape of our land, whether in the lush green Andros, in Skyros, in Kythira, in Skopelos, or higher up, on the Pilio ridges of Zagora and Portaria. A painter in love with Greece. In it he finds, in it he discovers his motivation, his inspiration; this is his sole reward. Some mountain spot in the Peloponnese, the dazzlingly white settlement of Oia in Santorini, autumnal calm and rainy sunsets wherever he encounters them—he sits down to sketch and depict them, with vitality, lyricism, and sensuality. Each of his works is a masterpiece. Every landscape reveals its own heartbeat, its own emotion, its own ballad. Even in his “still lifes,” he knows how to channel life. They speak to the visitor, to the viewer, through perfect technique, exemplary chiaroscuro, and flawless color combinations of brown, sweet green, ivory, olive, and terracotta. He molds all these elements with astonishing harmony, where light emphasizes color, glorifying the image with the “sweetness” that nature itself offers. The images are relief-like, crafted with passion, joy, and tenderness. The rich chromatic world bestowed upon him by nature becomes the spark, the impetus, the flame for the "genesis" of all these masterpieces, which constitute the impressive new exhibition of the outstanding artist. The wonder of the marine space, the picturesque islands, the remote chapels, a castle in Kythera, the winter landscape in Pilio, a solitary walker in the village of Nerantza, and even an image of tourists in Hydra, rendered with his characteristic humor, complete our unforgettable wanderings through the exhibition of Theodoros Markellos. A spark-like painter, in love with Greece, once again earns our enthusiastic impressions from this romantic visual journey he offered us with his experienced palette. An explosive pictorial elegy will reveal the entirety of this series of his artistic contribution. Wednesday 17 - 2 - 1988

CRITIQUE TH. MARKELOS Argo Gallery The painting of Theodoros Markellos, who recently exhibited at the “Argo” gallery, is sober, robust, and structured. His painting, even in mere appearance, reveals visual education. As drawing, composition, coloring, and lighting, it demonstrates correct, deep knowledge of visual language. All that long-term learning, the prolonged studies abroad, and especially in Spain, formed a solid background of respect for knowledge, of the sincerity required by plastic creation. Working on painting for so many decades, Markellos remains steady and unshakable towards life and the world. He believes in the objective existence of life, and his art moves in its free representation. It is characteristic that Markellos, amidst the so devastating upheaval of our time regarding the mission of art, did not slide into the plundered abyss of the paranoid, the irrational, and metaphysical reveries. He did not join the demythologization of life so pursued and directed by certain reactionary centers of power. Markellos accepts the existing world as the only reality. And this is projected in his painting. Not, however, its mimetic depiction, but stripped, purified from the ephemeral, the transient, from its market form, reshaped to rise to its spiritual elevation. And this effort permeates all of Markellos’s paintings, to elevate life to a higher quality, to reveal its poetic value. To show the stability of his vision, without spectacular distractions. Sula Koumbti “The painter Sula Koumbti” exhibited her works at the “Zygos” gallery. She presented her recent work, which moves in another visual space, different from the one we knew in her previous exhibition. We wrote, evaluating her earlier work, which had a landscape theme, how she conceived the imposing presence of Pelion, because she is also a Pelion native. She captured the shifting clouds of the mountain, its ridges, and its solitary houses. And we wrote further about her other themes, how she captured the exotic beaches of the islands, the brilliance of the waters, and the roar of the open sea bays. And we asked, perhaps she listened with intuitive alertness to the silent, whispering breath that every place has? We accept that the painter Koumbti was fortunate enough to hear the dance song of the sun over the geranium waves and the music of the blue-green bays. In other words, her painting at that time had an intense, developed plein air style. It was therefore a readable representational work, structured on impulsive emotion. In her current exhibition, she focuses on pure visual values. She tries to shape a chromatically musical world, harmoniously composed, with decorative extensions. And above all, to highlight illuminating focal points, that is, located in the elements of vision. Formally, she employs neo-impressionism, which is susceptible to a visual, poetic elevation. It is certainly an advanced expressive path that preserves female sensitivity and gives the possibility for her visual discourse to become more complete and fuller.

Theodoros Markellos’s Portfolio At Gallery “Argy,” painter Theodoros Markellos exhibited. He was born in 1925 and studied at the School of Fine Arts. This is a particularly interesting case, based on the possibilities of a “Cézannesque” expressionism of great expressive power. Markellos shapes his world through color (innodulation), which is not only his most important tool but also his most synthetic expressive medium. And the human world is dynamic, active, more precisely in a continuous “becoming.” The variations of tones are intense, as always happens with painting that does not seek to describe nature but to interpret it.

DAILY 2-2-1982 exhibitions MARKELOS A very impressive artistic presence at the “AITHOUSA TECHNIS” gallery, located at 4 Vasileos Sofias Avenue. The well-known painter MARKELOS is exhibiting his new contribution, consisting of a series of fifty-three paintings, inspired this time by Rhodes, Kalymnos, Nisyros, Kos, and Milos. In particular, the summer landscapes of Rhodes offer a cheerful image of life, embellished by intense colors provided by the golden light of the Aegean sun. With his experience and mastery of the palette, the artist, through a harmonious and balanced interplay between his mathematical drawing and color, has immortalized the natural, historical, and architectural charm of many familiar sites in sunny Rhodes, from the old town to the new tourist areas. Interior and exterior landscapes of the arid island, fishing harbors where the blue is highlighted in a positive harmony with the sunlight, and narrow streets and cobblestones with traditional houses and balconies, emphasize the local color. All these picturesque elements, rendered with precise drawing, create a lyrical mood, a poetry that emerges from the calm colors and mathematically defined light and shadow. Theodoros Markellos, with an active record of fifteen solo exhibitions and nineteen group shows, with paintings that today adorn galleries, ministries, embassies, banks, and private collections both locally and abroad, has something to show: a distinctive artistic modesty, without precedent. He has transferred this modesty, this humanity, and this inner beauty into all his creations. Each of his works offers a rare emotion, a pulse that originates from the artist’s inner soul. In the “Kalymnian Hermitage,” how much poetry exists around it? The simple lyricism bestowed by the solitude of the space has been offered simply by the painter, in a wonderful combination of colors, lighting, and shadows. With this expressive method and medium, the artist, characterized by his conscientiousness and sincerity, has created this other interesting new series of works, which above all are distinguished by a clear sensitivity, a luster, a binding of light and color that overflows from the natural radiance and grace that he creates. One sees with how much art, with every skill, the artist He infused natural light into every one of his works, creating a pictorial complex of our world. As PERSEUS ATHINAOS writes: The personal style in the composition of each subject is evident. Each painting transmits the painter’s emotion to the viewer. You see how the artist succeeded in transforming his subject into a dream, into a fairy tale, substantially conveying to the viewer-visitor the atmosphere of each place that moves him. Every corner is poetry, every coastline. And poetry is not only verse. Poetry is everything that touches the human soul. A poet-painter is MARKELOS, who knows the secret of embracing our inner world with drawing and color. A chromatic troubadour, we might say, of the nature and life that surround him. Natural light shines, iridescent with natural colors. Each composition has a clear structure and reveals the artist’s personality. The drawing emerges from the authenticity of the natural element. A rhythm characterizes the other offering of the painter, which painting offers as music. Nature and the human element play their roles. In every subject, personal emotion. It is clearly visible how much the artist is influenced by the Greek light, how much he is captivated by the lyrical charms of the transparent sea that frames our islands. Juicy art, expressing the thoughts, impressions, and stimuli of the brilliant artist, in an apotheosis of colors and lighting. His merits are indisputable. Confidence in the palette is evident. The contrasts of colors impress with their harmony, in mathematically emphasized gradations of chromatic tone. He aesthetically emphasizes his striking “nude.” The juices of life, the lines, are highlighted with precision. It is undoubtedly a work that captivates the eye, impresses with its grace and natural harmony, in a lyrical interplay of matter and realism, surprising with its authenticity and vivid presentation.

1982 FREE SUNDAY HOUR THE PERSEUS ATHENIAN — publications MARKELOS A very impressive artistic presence at “AIWUSA TECHNI” on Vas. Sofias Avenue 4. The well-known painter MARKELOS exhibits his new contribution with a series of fifty-three paintings, inspired this time by Rhodes, Kalymnos, Nisyros, Kos, and Milos. Particularly, the summer landscapes of Rhodes offer a cheerful image of life, embellished by the intense color given by the golden light of the Aegean sun. With the experience and stability of his brushwork, the artist, through a harmonious and balanced co-dominance of his mathematical drawing with color, has immortalized the charm—natural, historical, and architectural—of many of the famous spots of sunny Rhodes, from the old town to the new tourist one with its beaches, as well as the interior and exterior landscapes of the beautiful island, coastlines where the blue is emphasized in a positive harmony with the sunlight, and narrow streets and cobblestones with traditional houses and old balconies, highlighting the local color. All these paintings, rendered with a design outlined with precision, create a lyrical mood, a poetry that emerges from the calm colors and mathematically rendered light and shadow. Theodoros Markellos, with an active portfolio of fifteen solo exhibitions and nineteen other group exhibitions, with paintings adorning gallery spaces, Ministries, Embassies, Banks, and private collections both locally and abroad, displays a characteristic artistic modesty, that human quality, that spiritual structure, which he has transferred to all his creations. Each of his works offers a distinct emotion, a pulse originating from the artist’s inner soul. I stood for a long time and caressed with my eyes the “Kalymnian Solitude.” How much poetry surrounds it. The simple lyricism that the solitude of color bestows has been generously offered by the painter in a wonderful combination of colors, lighting, and shadows. In the representational depiction of space and objects, one discerns, alongside a certain intense dreaminess, the difference between physical accuracy and its geometric proof, compared to what the artist transfers onto his canvas through the means of an emotional process. The difference here in Markellos’s work in general lies in the degree to which the painting’s subject departs from its truth. The medium and proportion, I believe, the alienation creates Art. With this expressive method and medium, the artist, with the sensitivity and sincerity that characterize him, has created this entire interesting new series of his works, which above all are united by a clear sensitivity, a luster, a cohesion of light and color, which overflows from the natural radiance and grace that it creates. One sees with what art, with what precision, the artist infuses natural light into each of his works, creating a pictorial complex of realism and classicism. The personal style in the composition of each subject is evident. Each painting transmits the painter’s emotion to the viewer. You see how the artist succeeded in transforming his subject into a dream, into a fable, transmitting to the viewer, his visitor, in an essential way, the atmosphere of each place that moves him. Every corner is poetry, every edge. And poetry is not only verse. Poetry is everything that touches the human soul. A poet-painter is MARKELOS, who knows the secret of embracing our inner world with drawing and color. We would call him a chromatic troubadour of nature and life that surround him. The natural light shines (the brief iridesces)

Markellos is a cultivated painter, one might say very refined and delicate in his spontaneous impulse, which approaches Fauvism in the controlled exercise of his color conception. He traverses with speed and great skill the different color ranges, accompanied by the impetuous stroke of his brush with colored spots, sudden and violent luminosities, and brilliant reflections of tones. The composition of the painting is characteristic of Post-Impressionist painting. The forms are defined in dense and compact masses, the contours marked only by the limits of his colored surfaces. I must emphasize the perfect balance between the excitations—emotions—arising from the vision of the real landscape and the style of the composition. Markellos conceives the atmosphere and the changes of light in the spaces that inspire him and interprets them with a precise range of his palette and multiple, changing variations. Despite his generous attachment to the color and light of the atmosphere that inspires him, the artist always maintains his firm and personal process of composition and interpretation that he has already achieved. GIULIO MONTENERO: ART CRITIC—DIRECTOR OF THE REVOLTLLA MUSEUM

Greek North 18/12/77 VISUAL ARTS Five painting exhibitions BY GEORGIOS SIKELIOTIS At the “Kochlias” Gallery, painter Giorgos Sikeliotis presents a major retrospective exhibition (1940–1977) featuring drawings and prints from all periods of his artistic creation, executed in charcoal, pencil, script, pen, and acetone rendered with brush and needle. An album with 54 drawings from the period is on display, of which two are silkscreens, two are hand-colored linocuts, and 50 are lithographs. There is also a second album with five nude drawings in silkscreen. Sikeliotis is a distinguished painter with a personal expressive style. The main subject of his works is man, who expresses his life in a spontaneous and simple, Hellenic-folk manner. Monumental figures with emphasized outlines, rooted in ancient, Byzantine, and folk painting; essential forms such as the mother and child, the Madonna, the man as a vigorous hero, the innocent girl with a round face and dark almond-shaped eyes, the couple, and the family—all are rendered with feeling and humanity in a powerful priestly stance, embodying human sensitivity. The works are compelling in rhythm and movement, characterized by mastery and knowledge. This exhibition of Sikeliotis’s drawings was organized for the first time at the National Gallery. After Thessaloniki, it will move to the cities of Larissa, Volos, and Patras, thus closing a major period of his artistic activity, to begin his new work. BY THEODOROS MARKELOS In the hall of the French Institute of Thessaloniki, the artist known from previous presentations makes his reappearance. BY AGIS XOMERITAKIS In the hall of the “Elektra Palace” Hotel, Corfiot painter Agis Xomeritakis exhibits 62 works in oil, watercolor, and pastel, featuring impressions from Corfu and floral compositions. Xomeritakis’s painting is a chromatic poetry. Following the Corfiot tradition in watercolor with its fluid form and deep sense of color, the artist composes his flowers with sensitivity into exotic, charming canvases. Thus, his landscapes with their velvety, gentle atmosphere covered in a haze of light, and his flowers with their vibrancy, in free expressions of emotion, give the impression that one is standing before musical compositions with chromatic harmonies. BY KOSTAS ANTONELLOU At the Goethe Institute, the young painter Kostas Antonellos presents 45 oil paintings of landscapes, portraits, and still lifes in a solo exhibition. The artist studied painting in the studio of painter Theodoros Drosos. He is a talented painter with a developed perception, skill in drawing, and a rich color palette. He paints using various expressive methods. He successfully engages in the composition of figures and objects, rendering them with vitality and poetic sensibility. Thus, his portraits and nudes are conveyed with BY DEMOSTHENES MICHAELIDIS Another landscape painter, impressed by the Greek countryside, is the painter from Kilkis, Demosthenes Michaelidis, who exhibits 38 oils and watercolors at the "Arsa" gallery. Michaelidis attended painting classes in Czechoslovakia, where he participated in many group exhibitions. The subjects of his works are landscapes of the Kilkis and Chalkidiki regions. He is a painter with an abstract disposition, limiting himself to basic elements and distilling the painterly essence in his eyes. His oils vary in expression and rendering style, while his performance in watercolor, with its light texture and transparent atmosphere, stands out for its unified, cultivated quality. STAVROS H. SPYROGLOU

Another interesting exhibition of the week is by Athenian painter Theodoros Markellos, who is presenting 48 oil paintings with impressions from Mount Pelion, Hydra, Mount Athos, still lifes, and nudes at the "Kykklos" gallery. Markellos graduated from the Athens School of Fine Arts with five honorary distinctions and continued his studies on scholarships in Madrid and Paris. He has been exhibiting since 1952, having held ten solo exhibitions and participated in numerous group shows in Greece and abroad, as well as in Pan-Hellenic exhibitions. This is his first appearance in Thessaloniki. Markellos is an extremely versatile painter with refined aesthetic and technical training. Landscapes in all atmospheric conditions, under sun and rain, interiors of houses and churches, fruit compositions, and figures of people and animals are rendered with a perfect adaptation of his palette, rich in juicy colors, to the subject matter. Thus, mountains, trees, and skies are transferred onto his canvases with a fresh painterly disposition, capturing their instantaneous atmospheric sensation; buildings are constructed with solid structure; still lifes appear in organized, harmonious compositions of shapes and colors; portraits possess psychological expression; and nudes reveal their internal anatomy in correct proportions. Markellos, with all his respect for nature, does not cling to superfluous details. With a sense of measure and mastery of his plastic means, he achieves the representation of the object in its essential elements and their plastic expression, through a personal creative process. Markellos’s works possess poetry, lyricism, and quality. GRAPHIC SUMMARY URBAN, 26-3-26 ICA TEACHER STATISTICS H. THE URBAN (G. VITAKGIU URBAN P.T.T.22 )

VISUAL ARTS CRISIS OF THE LIVING SPACE Many artists exhibited their works in all tones, architecture, and the various Athens Art Galleries, and the constantly increasing visitors enjoyed their works. The techniques and themes are many, as are the artists. I will try to bring you into contact with some of the best among them. SOTIRIS PALASIDIS: At the Hellenic-American Union, the painter presented his latest work from the Attica region, and the artist is the only painter who studied and assimilated the "Attic landscape" and gave it to us with an auction of painting that is incomprehensible, whether it is spring or summer. His colors are pure and juicy, full of light and power. In the hands of Parasidopoulos, every landscape becomes a chromatic harmony of green or yellow that refreshes you from the daily routine of life. He paints impressionistically, giving some works to color, which is all light, in composition and structure. A characteristic feature of his painting is the small sky and the enclosed landscape. He has participated in 9 Panhellenic, 7 solo, 2 Biennales, and many public exhibitions. THEOD. MARKELOS: A lyrical singer of the voice and charms of Prali. The artist visited Prali many times and gave us autumn, which he studied with sun, wind, and fog, and gave it to us in all its chromatic auctions. What interests and fascinates him are the autumns and intoxicating colors, truly silent witnesses of the continuous... PALEODOTOS THEODOROS: At the Center of Visual Studies (18 Zaimi and Tositsa), he presented his work & Theochagos. His work "WITNESSES" is a synthesis of grace. CELESTE POLYCHRONIADE: At NE- E2 FORMS (9 Valaoritou), the well-known painter presented her latest work, where it appears that she is concerned with the progress of technology, technical science, and the reaction of this on the fate of the surrounding space. With a characteristic imagination and methodical syntax of machines, drawings, transmitters, antennas, pyramids, space stations, and all branches of science, she gives us compositions lost and horizons in a dynamic tension. All this conscious surrounding world, Celeste Polychroniadis, gives us in black and white creations, where you can see the power of structure, rhythmic composition, and her dialogue with machines and the synthesis of grace.

In this, the pace is much faster and the personal variation in each individual of the transformation takes on a completely different character: cause or personal stance, position, reaction and action, in the invasion of the unnatural, the oppressive, the destructive element within their life. In the intellectual human being and the artist, in those individuals who have the ability to reshape the expressive Logos of their changes into creative expression, the phenomenon of this variation of maturation, both natural and violent, presents those gradations that convey intensity, the form of the era in their internal structure. We speak of our century, of its terrifying technical progress, of its lightning-fast evolutionary pace that has brought about a corresponding maturation that began with multiple absorption (of knowledge, perceptions, experiences) and led to the multiple acquisition of experiences, ending in the contradictory multiplicity of positions and negations. Yet, within this contradictory multiplicity, one must recognize, there emerges in the whole a human thought capable of being articulated. With much deeper means. A human sensory apparatus is shaped that is much more capable of penetrating the demands of form and content. With much more investigative means.

Date, 9-2-1975 For the Exhibition Zos Pimaios CRITIQUE — Exhibitions and Artists BY DIANA ANTONAKATOU It is not only the maturation of the eras, that evolutionary path toward the solutions of the problems of the “previous time” that presents the corresponding maturation in the intellectual and artistic work—creation—that is ultimately conveyed to the senses and understanding of contemporaries as the conclusion of their era. A conclusion that, in its flowing form, projects the tendencies, the goals, the expressive means through which both Reason and Art shape the consciousness of the Individual in contemporary space and time. It is also the violence in the normal life of man: the shocking intervention of the natural element, for example, or the paranoid intrusion of war or the imposition of a system of violence, which, through the cosmogonic disruption of the balance in the functioning of life, brings about another form of maturation. In this, the rhythm is much faster and the personal variation in each individual transforms with a completely different character: cause or personal stance, position, reaction and action, in the intrusion of the unnatural, the oppressive, the destructive element into their life. In the intellectual man and the artist, in individuals who have the ability to reshape the expressive Word of their alterations into creative expression, this phenomenon of the variation of maturation, of nature and violence, presents those gradations that convey intensity, the form of the era in their internal structure. We speak of our century, of its terrifying technical progress, of its lightning-fast evolutionary rhythm that has brought about a corresponding maturation that begins with multiple reception (of knowledge, perceptions, ideas) and multiple ordering of experiences, and ends in the contradictory multiplicity of positions and negations. However, within this contradictory multiplicity, one must recognize, it presents as a whole a human thought capable of being formulated with much deeper means. A human sensorium is shaped that is much more capable of penetrating the demands of form and content. With much more investigative means. From the Word to the Fine Arts and Music, from Theater to the Seventh Art, the multiplicity and also the maturation have a form that is much more internal, a weight that is much more intellectual than it had a few decades ago. A cinema A graphic work, for instance, which was considered good a few years ago, when we look at it again through the eyes of our own era, appears superficial, external; "it does not engage with problems" is our characterization of it. (Naturally, we are not speaking of unsurpassable masterpieces). In painting, to return to our context, something similar has occurred: what once represented 80% of his peers is constantly yielding its position to expressionism, cubism, and ABSTRACT art, in favor of a more "thoughtful" content. The painting is now directed toward a "problematic" goal, essentially becoming a means of expression, disapproval, and rejection. In this column, we have brought up State Realism as an example of this shift in the position of the contemporary painter, for whom the "en plein air" is by no means sufficient as a means of expressing emotions that are literally shaken by pressing problems and are not relieved by an escape into the beautiful Greek landscape. And naturally, the young painters are closer to this shift in objective. Now, the percentage has reversed—we are speaking of a collective level in the practice of painting. An 80% now have directed their painting toward the notion of a mission. For Yannis Psychopedis, this notion is a wonderful realization, underpinned by a gifted human sensitivity and a strong talent. Psychopedis completed his studies at the Athens School of Fine Arts in 1968 and is only 30 years old. Since 1971, he has been studying on a D.A.A.D. scholarship at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, where he also lives. He has already participated in many exhibitions abroad, in Athens, and in Thessaloniki. The influence of German Realism played a significant role in the direction of Psychopedis's painting. The presentation (of the dramatic, of violence, of injustice, of the contrast between the hyper-consumerist showcase of the late 19th and early 20th centuries that passed through and fed on Munich. How different was the artist's stance toward the human problem, toward the descriptive kind of sympathy that could surround, for example, the poor child or the beggar, the detached superiority of beauty (works by Renoir, for example), and below, the starving family of the slum, police violence, the person killed on the sidewalk of an ideal of a more humane life. The juxtaposition of the abundance of the technocratic era with the exhibition of the sex of T.Y., the detergents below the disturbed man who is “raped” who testifies who lives on, the man of every corner of the earth who united in one the problems of it: in white and in black.

support of the D.L.A.D., at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, where he lives. There he has already participated in many exhibitions abroad, in Athens and Thessaloniki. The influence of German Realism played a significant role in the direction of Psychopaides' painting. The presentation of the dramatic, of violence, injustice, and the otherness between the hyper-consumerist showcase of the era and the hunger that plagues and reaps part of modern humanity, through the photographic document that, as an irrefutable testimony, becomes the evidence of the crime that man himself commits against his fellow man. Psychopaides, like all the exponents of Critical Realism, uses photography, but not the photograph itself displayed on his canvas. Psychopaides creates his sketch from the photograph, with the ability of a perfect draftsman and the delicacy of a highly sensitive consciousness. Because in these sketches is the narration of the gruesome details, in this tragic instant of the antinomy, (between abundance and lack, between immediate comfort and misery), he manages to convey through them a cry, but also the despair at the fundamental injustice. A "humanity," we would say, that this delicacy of line evokes. And this youthful juxtaposition of the distinctive: the upper part of the painting, the art, the happy face... still to summarize in the work that this transposition in the attitude of the painter of his time. We thought of the great Greek painters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries who passed through and were nourished by Munich. How different was the artist's attitude towards the human problem, towards the descriptive kind of sympathy with which he could surround the poor child, for example, or the killed soldier, or art. On the occasion of Psychopaides' painting, we noticed once again this maturity of the era. ★ At "ORA" the presentation of Christos Danglis' painting took place. His works in all the halls of the Cultural Center spread out and gave, as a whole, the expression of his labor. Christos Danglis belongs to an earlier generation, born in 1916. He studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts (ASKT), with teachers including Parthenis in painting and Kefallinos in engraving. Danglis possessed not only abundant talent but also a generous heart that compelled him not to stand aside, nor to ignore a duty he had pledged to himself, beyond his artistic obligations. During the years of occupation, he engraved badges, posters, and printed material for the resistance. He himself endured exile and imprisonment. It was only from 1956 that he began participating in exhibitions abroad. In 1959, he had his first ★ Theodoros Markellos, who studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts (ASKT) and received scholarships to study in Spain and France, has been working in Athens since 1963. His current exhibition at the Cultural Center of the Municipality of Athens, featuring 72 works on Mount Pelion, presents a Greek landscape and the complex contribution of a painter whose work matured through the experience of the “landscape.” His medium, oil, is handled with greater dexterity through the softness of application, a rapid rhythm, clear tonal distinctions, and an outline in the swift deposition of characteristics, devoid of details. Markellos vibrates with the transfer of chromatic change and the adventures of lighting upon a piece of Greek terrain. He trembles with the slope, intertwines with the branches and clouds, and imparts to his canvas a rhythm of “infiltration,” as if conquering his own outdoors. He runs up the cobblestone inclines, bursts forth with the tree’s new leaves, and lives the struggle waged by the earth and the village to take root in it. Thus, each landscape is an assault for the painter with the coarse brush. Thus, for Markellos, the landscape holds no metaphysical position but a physical substance; it is the living framework within which small life moves with its eternity.

Markellos’s exhibition, with its steady and clear action of the naturally existing, expresses his stance towards life and generally his angle of action in the world. In his paintings, the main characteristic is the calm and diffuse love for the objective value of existence. To shape his intentions, he uses archetypal visual symbols from the unchanging nature, the sky, the tree, the mountain, the traditional settlement, the ancient forms that are always charged with distant memories and sensory stimuli. It seems that the artist moves towards the Sources, heads towards the reversal, to listen to the unadulterated dialogue of the soul, which is distributed in silence in the infinite natural space. Thus, his art becomes a heartfelt acceptance of natural beauty, an optimistic voice that ultimately serves the love for life and humanity. It is characteristic of his choice and preference, today when the artist has the privilege and the trial, to follow a thousand paths within the polyphonic, hermetic sibylline trends that our troubled and contradictory era opens up. So, in the trends of fragmentary expression, the fragmentation of phenomena, which intellectual egocentrism and technological analysis have generated, Markellos contrasts with clear and sober action, the value of the eternal things that surround us. Another characteristic of his art is the sense of measure. Although his visual perception is outward-looking, he does not exaggerate his references, guards against intense externalizations, and does not intervene, even, to rationalize phenomena, to subordinate them to pre-made structures, leaving them to breathe unimpeded in their atmosphere, in their truth and natural authenticity. From this position, Markellos’s painting has 'Ethos'. It does not try to impress, to carry away the indifferent viewer into picturesque scenes, it rejects artificial effects and demonstrative skill. Markellos’s work is accessible to both the general viewer and the aesthetically specialized, because it contains a positive stance that, with the absolute dominance of its expressive means, carries us to a space where the heart moves calmly and the mind is sober.

CRITICAL NOTE “MARKELOS” An important painter of the era EXHIBITION FROM THE PILLION BY MR. NIKOS GALAZIS The painter Markellos exhibits seventy paintings from the Pillion. The fruit of a decade: from 1964 to the present. Paintings in dimensions 50x35, 65x50, 73x54, 81x60, 92x60. The viewer is surprised by the size and quality. His works vividly unfold the Pillion landscapes. You perceive the artist’s ability to integrate his material into the composition. The wise choice of the vantage point where he sets up his easel. The siege of time. His work breathes countryside. It appears from a practiced hand. It transports you to the places he depicted with their lush vegetation, lead roofs, and cobblestones. The dust that drifts through the alleys and houses. The squares with plane trees and chestnuts. His themes are delicate. They evoke feelings of loneliness, abandonment, joyful femininity, earthly paradise, and warmth. You feel the dusk, the clouds, the mist, the twilight, the glimmer, the presence of man, without him appearing anywhere. The artist strives to convey the atmosphere, the light, the play of weather. You get the impression that his mist is not static, but living and moving. The objects of his processing retain their deepest texture. They pass through the artist’s soul to be rendered on an organic scale of emotion and color. Masterful in the perfection of technique, the painter shows himself generous in cashing in his experiences and offering personal solutions. Thus, his topography is thematic. It implies psychological processes intertwined with experiential roots in a historical space dominated by a climate ranging from tropical to stormy atmosphere. His portraiture is impressive. His vast body of work is wisely placed in frames and secured with glass. A framing that surprises us for oil paintings. Markellos has managed to capture the Pillion, to transfer it to the great hall of the cultural center of the Municipality of Athenians, and to charm and captivate his viewers up close with his valuable contribution. Rarely does one enjoy such a creation. Markellos belongs to the pioneering painters of our generation who renew our art. His presence will remain among the great names of painting in our homeland. N.

1975 "FREE WORLD" For the exhibition of Pligios PAINTING CRITICISM BY MR. STELIOS LYDAKIS The Meaning of Three Exhibitions YANNIS PSYCHOPAIDIS, BEMBAS AGGELINOU, THEODOROS MARKELOS Yannis Psychopaides was born in Athens in 1945. He studied at the School of Fine Arts and, on a scholarship, in Munich, where he has lived and worked since 1971. Fifty years ago (in 1925), the last Greek painter (Dimitris Davvis) of a huge group of Greeks (about 63) who had studied at that renowned School from the 1840s onwards was a student at the Munich School of Fine Arts. Things have changed a lot since then. Paris gradually dominated the consciousness of Greek artists and became almost the exclusive pole of attraction for the younger generations. In Greece itself, the Bavarian capital was discredited and considered—very unjustly—the cause of the academic spirit of the academic Greek painters. No one, of course, knew how things stood from a historical perspective, and no one wanted to know. The Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements reinforced the prejudice that only France could truly be productive from an artistic standpoint for the Greeks. Today, mainly through the German Scholarship Service, we find Greeks again in Germany (Paulos Akrithakis, etc.). Psychopaides in Munich bridges the past with the present and engages with both. In the line of a group of realist-symbolists, he is recruited for the critical confrontation of history and our history in a particularly interesting way. Preferring a fragmented correlation of elements on the pictorial surface, he distorts situations and events. What seems to fundamentally occupy the artist are the contradictions presented by the world and life. Specifically, he is interested in socio-cultural contradictions. Here he launches an attack against the great models of the past, contrasting them with cold expressions of present-day life. He attacks a beautified surface or the grand gestures of a present that is merely empty pretense. In a work, for example, titled "Tribute to Renoir," Psychopaides contrasts the drama of human reality with hedonism: the daily struggle, war, human misery. The goods of consumer society, on the other hand, are offered as symbols of emptiness and spiritual infantilization. Certainly, here is the translation of the text into English: --- Certainly, the case of Psychopaidi is representative for an art that is not made for art's sake alone. Moreover, what one calls art must be reconsidered here: we have an artistic disposition that bypasses the expressive code of the past, creating a new one. Essentially, it is still within the framework of search. However, the search is the most fundamental element of this new expressive code. At the gallery "Astori," Bamba Angelinou presents her work. For those who knew her earlier work, the adjustment from a sweet plein air style to a strict geometric cubist type is impressive. The painter discovered the fluctuations of the ancient column's radiations and utilizes them for some successful weavings, which, however, are often simple and lifeless in terms of color. Nevertheless, one should not overlook the good disposition and quality of some pieces, which essentially get lost in the multitude of decorative shapes. At the Cultural Center of the Municipality of Athens, Theodoros Markellos exhibits about 70 works on the theme of Pelion. This painter, born in Athens in 1925 and studied at the School of Fine Arts, cultivates an intense expressionistic plein air style quite suitable to convey the robust and juicy character of a landscape like Pelion. Graphic parts of this place's fabric are assimilated, and an attempt is made to isolate the typical and interesting. With bold brushstrokes, strong colors are scattered over the pictorial surface with the aim of enhancing the immediate impression and making it as expressive as possible. THE ISSUES OF THE ARCHAEOLOGISTS WILL BE RESOLVED SOON The Minister of Culture and Sciences, Mr. K. Trypanis, held an extensive discussion with the archaeologists at the amphitheater of the Archaeological Museum, where he listened to their problems and requests, characterizing them as justified and promising satisfaction. These requests are as follows: 1) To give them the opportunity to stay in Athens for four months in order to obtain a doctoral degree. 2) To establish local offices, especially those for Byzantine monuments. 3) To provide archaeologists with transportation to their work sites. The minister, beyond positive responses to these issues, stated that the expected archaeological law by the profession will be enacted and regulated in translation. P.M. New work from the troupe Yannis Fertis — Kalogeropoulou --- This translation preserves the meaning while adapting the structure and phrasing to natural English expression. • At the “Athina” theater, the company of Giannis Fertis and Xenia Kalogeropoulou will present the premiere of Mrożek’s work “Police,” in translation by P.

Visual Arts Greek Future 1-2-1975 POETIC NEO-SYMBOLISM By Mrs. MARIA POLITI Th. Markellos presents ten years of creative work at the "Cultural Center" of the Municipality of Athens, thus making his presence felt in our artistic milieu. Mr. Markellos, with about seventy paintings inspired by the enchanting Pindus, has managed to capture a uniquely Greek light, full of Karyotakis-like memories. Here is Zagora, Makrynitssa, Portaria, houses, streets, flower gardens, squares, forested slopes, all given in a gentle, autumnal hour, moistened by mist and cloudy sky. With great confidence, he sketches the afternoon square, the time when the first lights turn on, with people returning to their homes. In some paintings, one could easily insert verses from Agras, Papnikolaou, Lapathiotis. A poetic neo-symbolism, which symbolizes with a Hellenized expressionism, successfully attempts to overcome the emotional polyphony of colors and to authentically convey the atmosphere of the Greek countryside and especially the Pindus landscape. Mr. Markellos, although young, takes a place among the best Greek painters, with the freshness and Greek faith of his work, while simultaneously providing a resounding answer to the imitators of European schools, whose countries arrive late in our country.

WEEKLY NEWSPAPER NATIONAL HERALD Date Certificate Markellos Visual Arts Three Painting Exhibitions We have previously emphasized the creative role of criticism in the entire artistic (and generally technical) life of the country. Because we believe that any artwork is interpreted and elevated by the critical presence surrounding it. This, moreover, is the goal of the aesthetic interpretation of a work and the evaluative assessment of the idea—message, which exists—must exist—within it. Individual or group exhibitions (alongside museums and sculptures in public spaces), the architectural character of a region or settlement, and other forms of art, are functions of education and teaching that shape the sensitivity of the word. By observing the artistic life, we will endeavor to become assistants to the artist, interpreters of his work, and narrators to the average recipient of artistic expression. And primarily without prejudices or suspicious associations. Antonis Theodoridis “Rotonda” Until December 20 In a “sickly” space that does injustice to the promise of an artist’s work, with poor lighting and shocking hanging of the paintings, Antonis Theodoridis strives to win over the visitor of his exhibition, which, we must say right from the start, is interesting in multiple ways: because his current work finalizes his Greek identity (9, 11, 15, 19, 24) and provides solutions to a technical school, through the use of minimalism. We saw the exhibition of Th. Markellos. On the occasion of his exhibition at the “Cultural Center” of the Municipality of Athens, we were delighted with great joy by his personal way of idealizing his artistic presentation. Work by Th. Markellos: “Shipyards” However, we remain with the “Scene,” which testifies to an advanced nature of sensitivity and wise arrangement of volumes, as they emerge through the artist’s ease in working, both in his studio and outdoors. Theodoridis demonstrated that he is deeply connected to the place, and that he did not seek to cut his roots. Th. Markellos “British Council” Until December 19 Speaking about the work of Th.

Personally, I felt pride for this noisy hive called a shipyard. Because it made me think of Greek seamanship, the 150,000 “ever-seafaring” Greeks, and the proud Greek ships. And we owe this to Markellos. His color has security. The organization of his paintings is successful, and the lighting highlights what, in projection. The artist wants to project. The result is aesthetic, a song of hard work and the Greek sea. Vangelis Moustakas “Diogenes” Until December 21 We should have seen the exhibition of Moustakas’s sculptures, starting from his drawings, which are the foundation of his work. With a sure hand, and in successive phases, he studies the sculpture on paper, determining its inclinations, its movement, its bloom, we could say, and at the moment he believes he has exhausted all his solutions, he transfers it all at once to metal, without hesitating for even an instant about the result. This unyielding metal, with its own demands and difficulties, becomes here malleable material, becomes choreographic movement, pure idea and thought (5, 8, 12, 17). From within the metal emerge tragic figures of the ancient theatrical niche, the terrifying wagon of the condemned to death, the triumph of humanity, and the hymn to freedom. Vangelis Moustakas, here in his battle with the most difficult material, has won. But above all, he has won his Greek identity, in an era of blind mimicry and aping in all fields of art. M.

Markellos is a cultivated painter, one might say very refined and delicate in his spontaneous impulse, which approaches Fauvism in the controlled exercise of his conception of colors. He traverses with speed and great skill the different color gammas, accompanied by the impetuous stroke of his brush, with colored spots, with sudden and brutal luminosities in a brilliant reflection of tones. The composition of the painting is characteristic of Post-Impressionist painting. The forms, defined in dense and compact masses, the contours marked only by the limits of his colored surfaces. I must emphasize the perfect balance between the excitations—emotions—arising from the vision of the real landscape and the style of the composition. Markellos conceives the atmosphere and the changes of light of the spaces that inspire him and interprets them with a precise gamma of his palette and multiple and changing variations. Despite his generous attachment to the color and light of the atmosphere that inspires him, the artist always maintains his firm and personal process of composition and interpretation that he has already acquired.

VISUAL ARTS FREE WORLD 9-2-1972 The Parisian Landscapes by Th. Markellos AT THE EXHIBITION OF “PARNASSOS” With heartfelt dedication and moving sentimentality, painter Theodoros Markellos offers a tribute to the Paris of its art students through his solo exhibition in the main hall of “Parnassos” in Athens. Under the auspices of the Hellenic-French Association, he presents about a hundred of his oil paintings, most of which depict views of various spots in the French capital. Markellos renders the Parisian landscapes using post-impressionistic stylistic nuances, structured in accordance with the teachings of his training at higher art schools in Madrid (1954–1956) and Paris (1960–1962). He received scholarships after being awarded his diploma from the Athens School of Fine Arts in 1952, with five honorary distinctions. Markellos’s participation in group exhibitions began with the Panhellenic Exhibition of 1952 and continued in other venues in Athens, Madrid, on the ocean liner “Olympia,” in Monaco, Paris, Florence, Rome, Milan, Vienna, and Bucharest. His previous seven solo exhibitions took place in Madrid (1956), Athens (1958, 1967), Florence, Milan, Trieste, and at the “Jefferson” University in Philadelphia. By painting exclusively Paris, Markellos captures the characteristics of the natural and emotional atmosphere of the French capital with such stylistic adaptation to his refined subject matter that the impression is given that the paintings in this “Parnassos” exhibition were created by a French or Dreyfusist painter, entirely untainted by the traditions of Greek art and unrelated to the mindset and spiritual world of the Greeks. With masterful expressive skill and other significant innate painterly virtues, Markellos—as evidenced by the exhibits at “Parnassos”—has directed the main interest of his art toward the creation of works of higher quality, with a lyrical tone of romantic disposition. This tone prevails with more vibrant pulse and greater chromatic harmony and subtlety in his compositions featuring “still life” themes.

THE WORK 22-3-1969 Exhibitions by Mongini, Thomas, Markellos, Massimo, Barraco and Grazzini Six sincere palettes rich in freshness A painting by Markellos Only a small number of artists have managed and continue to manage to combine simultaneously the difficult skill of "sculptural-painting" without distorting or diminishing either factor. Costanzo Mongini, for us, is one of the few fortunate ones who have understood how difficult the "But" of art is, and, alone (since he is self-taught), has made it the goal of his reflection and life. In his pictorial creations he offers us a palette overflowing with pure colors (from blue to red, from yellow to green), full of fresh brushstrokes, felt without false and orthodox scholastic rules. It is precisely in the "still lifes" that the sincere soul of a Mongini born for painting is expressed; and these revive almost magically, maintaining and acquiring within pure modernism a sensitive freshness. In the sculptures we find more classicizing grace and studied style, rather than magical symbols to wonderfully define the meaning of one or another work; it is an apparently different Mongini, but the soul is the same. ALFRED THOMAS The absolute realist, hosted in the Gonnelli salon, an Indian painter whom the Florentine public now knows well and appreciates for his detailed and incisive art. It is superfluous to expand on the "biography" of this master, who has been working for years in a studio on via Guelfa. It is excessive to process again his pure reflection: the methodical work of Alfred Thomas is a mosaic that is very difficult to assemble. In this latest exhibition of his we admired some of his new creations, where the truly unusual abilities of this "calligraphic brushworker" stand out with aggression. In "Flowers," from 1968, Thomas contrasts his idyllic calm with a miniature work (in the execution of the newspaper headlines) and a composite boldness that is pleasantly modern. Where we immediately rediscover the calm and almost timid poet-painter Indian, is in "Adam and Eve," a wonderful work with pure surrealist inspiration. An exhibition, that of Thomas, which one should certainly visit extensively and repeatedly. THEODORO MARKELLOS If we were to try and find a modern concern in the works of this Greek artist, we would be naive and misguided: Markellos does not propose it nor does he wish to. Because his strictly Greek spirit desires to gift us with serene visuals of a romantic world that perhaps no longer exists. These rural landscapes, these seascapes, these corners of houses, these small characters, sometimes "naïve," other times more structured, make us live in those places, make us breathe that simple poetry that characterizes Greece. Even where Markellos's brush seems to escape the most common rules of painting, the artist remains steadfastly faithful to his idyllic constructive and colorful power. It is no coincidence that he has been selected along with nine other colleagues and compatriots for a group exhibition to be held in Bucharest during the coming years. These ten painters, among the best of the Greek peninsula, officially invited to that city, will surely be appreciated for their high artistic value. GIOVANNI MASSIMO A painting, that of Massimo, where drawing and color unite, where thought and vision converge almost magically towards the exhibitor's personal universe. This young painter from Naples, who presents 30 of his latest works at the "Semaforo" gallery, wants to gift us more than an "entangled" painting, a sincere palette where landscapes and female figures gently emerge, shaped by an "almost always" violet artistic aura. It is a continuous "rhythmic" search that Giovanni Massimo pursues in his creations; it is a pleasant chromatic and poetic game that is the result of each canvas. And even where the brilliance of the colors seems to escape, the notion of unity prevails: painting, therefore, a priori, valid and pleasant from this young artist of the south. SALVATORE BARRACO Five years have passed since Salvatore Barraco has lived and worked in Florence, after a period of useful experiences in Sicily and Venice. This young man from the south has traversed a significant artistic and painterly path since the time when, shyly, he presented his first works executed in our city. The artistic life in Florence, unfortunately, we must admit, for foreigners or not, was and is very harsh, and so it was for the worthy Barako. There was no exception for Barako. But now our savior has become sure of himself and his art; his world consists of matter, from which landscapes and figures emerge, sad or romantic, biting or grotesque. Instinctive by nature, atavically imbued with the colors of his beautiful Sicilian land, Barako enclosed in this personal exhibition at the "Saletta Conti" all of his "ego," cultural and painterly. This barbed wire that stands out, truly tender, on the lower right side of "Sicilia '68" (one of the artist's last works) perhaps shows us the breaking of an anxiety that has passed and is present in Salvatore's spirit: he wants to be the visible signature of a young contemporary in our society today. RENZO GRACINI Today at 18:00, at the "Palazzo Vecchio," the opening of Renzo Gracini's personal exhibition. Renzo Gracini was born in Florence in 1916. His activity began in 1945. He studied at the Florence Institute of Art, where he teaches today. His many personal exhibitions have always garnered good critical success; he has participated many times in the Biennale, the Quadriennale, and the Engraving Biennale. He has received many significant awards. Always by invitation, he has participated in various representative exhibitions of Italian painting in Europe, Australia, and America. His works are found in Italian and foreign museums, as well as in many private collections. Lunardi

"IL LAVORO" (Phorenia.) 22-3-1969 "If we wanted to not be valid in these words, the Greek would have a problematic form that would truly have been greater. Markellos does not highlight this reference and does not want to not highlight a purely Greek soul or spirit. He does not want to give away French views of a romantic world of the 16th century that no longer exists. These village Israelites, these Thagares, these June epiles, these small giants, sometimes "Naif", sometimes pre-constructed, make us not be valid in these people, make us mix with this need for an internal Greekness. "As for those who must speak of Markellos, he escapes and evades the normal laws of Italy, the painter after their attention to his own writing has legislative and political power. It is not easy to live together with the other blindfolded and umbrellas for a collective edition in Bucharest, at this time (1969). These Italian ones with their melancholy look at the Greek peninsula, scientists invited to this attention. It will be impossible to live for the Greekness of the saints. — Lumardi"

"IL GAZZETTINO" training ground May 13, 1969 ART EXHIBITIONS Markellos at "Russo" A Greek artist, Theodoros Markellos from Athens, exhibits at the "Russo" Art Gallery. As a creator of a pictorial definition resulting from his academic training, Markellos rediscovers the stimulating wave of Impressionism to capture images emerging from his "notebook," the fruit of a progressive discovery of landscape and environmental emotions; in the creative act, he applies a decisive brushstroke to the canvas, in which he has carefully diluted the original virulence of color to spread into a tribute to nature. This attitude of spirit thus leads him to produce works that dissolve in a romantic background, found in the objective dimension of reality with intact nuclei to fix a descriptive framework isolated and pure in its most intimate substance. The need to correspond to the narrative assumption binds Markellos in a space where at least epidermically divergences and contradictions do not "IL GAZZETTINO DEL LUNEDÌ" "IL GAZZETTINO" 13 - 5 - 1969 Carlo Milic critic Creating a defined pictorial expression derived from his academic training, Markellos rediscovers the impetuous wave of Impressionism to capture images drawn from his notebook (cahier de note), the result of a gradual discovery of emotional, living, and environmental sensations. In the creative act, he places on his canvas a decisive brushstroke, in which he has wisely softened the original intensity of color to create harmonious tones that explain the predisposition, that is, the technique and a tribute to nature. This approach of the artist leads him to produce works that blend with a romantic background, perceiving the reality with intact elements to establish a descriptive structure isolated and pure in its deepest essence. The need to respond to the narrative theme confines Markellos in a space where divergences and contradictions are not apparent. In this graphical paradise, the artist can be seen. Markellos skillfully manages to elevate, detaching the abstract form and emotion in the world of the primordial, where wet tones and muddy paths exist.

Theodoros Markellos possesses a strong personality and, like Theotokopoulos, drew inspiration from our homeland. In his compositions depicting Madrid and Segovia, Markellos renders the spring light, the intense summer sun, the careful grays of autumn, and the leaden winter sky with impressionistic power, a pronounced personal character, and an impulsive, free draftsmanship.

"NATION" MONDAY, JULY 17, 1967 Theod. Markellos SPEAKS ABOUT HIS ART AND REALITY By our collaborator, painter YIORGOS IOANNOU It is said that the artist usually resembles his work, that in the end he becomes an image and imitation of it. In the case of painter Theodoros Markellos, the opposite occurred. In the end, the work came to resemble the artist himself. For this reason, perhaps no one will be able to fully understand Markellos’s work without having previously gotten to know the man himself. The low-key and discreet tone of his works, which he presented at the new Gallery "Orizon," and the condensation of the elements that form the structure of his compositions, constitute Markellos’s characteristic monologue, narrating the content of his discreet solitude. For the painter, the past and the present are a continuous path of internal isolation, which holds deep significance in his work. Markellos is a modest artist who possesses the advantage of inner peace. His gaze is clear and gentle, as is his speech and behavior. Markellos was born in Athens in 1925. In 1952, he received his diploma from the Athens School of Fine Arts (A.S.K.T.), Markellos’s studio. with five honorary distinctions. From 1954 to 1956, he studied on a scholarship at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid, and from 1960 to 1962, again on a scholarship, at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Solo exhibitions: In 1956 at the Gallery "Centro Asturiano" in Madrid, in 1958 at the "Parnassos" hall in Athens, in 1963 at the Gallery "Spinetti" in Florence. Group exhibitions: Gallery "Toison," Salon d'Automne, International Exhibition of Dissenting Artists in Terni, Madrid. International Exhibition in Vienna, Museum of Modern Art, Paris. "Quadriennale d'Europa" in Rome, Gallery "Zygos," Cultural Center "Olympia," as well as at the official Italian exhibition "Premio Montiglio," where he was awarded a silver medal. His works are held in collections in Greece and abroad. shocks, and I painted the world around me. I did portraits, nudes, landscapes, everything. In Greece, Spain, Paris. I sought experience in everything. My continuous progress smoothly led me to the most contemporary aesthetic problems. However, I did not allow myself to leave gaps behind, nor to make leaps to save time. In my current exhibition, I present compositions that are the natural result of this period of my career. They draw their initial impulse from the real world and its representational elements. And they reach, without describing, the recording of mental states and moods. I can emphasize that I do not deny any expressive means, any technical experience. However, I refuse to submit to schools, theories, or dogmas. I maintain absolute freedom to express myself according to my mental dispositions or my inner impulses. We asked Markellos whether art can have a communal character, beyond expression and moods. And furthermore, whether the artist should create Theodoros Markellos a bridge and span the gap that opens between the geometric progress and increasing development of technical civilization and the spiritual and philosophical development of our era, which proceeds at a slower pace. And in our question, whether aesthetic results should be sought in the Work of Art and whether the pursuit of the sublime can be considered an "anti-artistic" fact, the painter told us: "No, the sublime should not be pursued. Genuine emotion, and not pursuit, will bring the aesthetic result. I believe that the pursuit of the sublime, because this pursuit itself neglects emotion, without which it is impossible for an aesthetic result to exist. I accept the sublime as a result, but not as a pursuit." We asked the painter how he views artistic activity in Athens. He told us: "Athens has developed into a large and populous capital and could have a much larger artistic movement in the field of Visual Arts. It could even develop into an artistic dynamic that is qualitatively at a very high level in relation to European and generally global artistic reality. But, unfortunately, in Athens the conditions are unfavorable for artists who do not belong to organized interests and do not have strong protectors. Most of the few galleries in Athens consist of closed circles, which try to literally impose their friends, and this, without starting from criteria of evaluation, but unfortunately only of interest. They have enlisted the daily and periodical press, which they inform with

Markellos was born in Athens in 1925. In 1952, he received his diploma from the Athens School of Fine Arts (A.S.K.T.), a democratic character, which concerns expression and classes. And furthermore, perhaps the artist must create a bridge and span the chaos that opens up between the geometric progress and the increasing development of technical civilization and the spiritual and philosophical development of our era, which advances at a rapid pace. And in response to our question, whether aesthetic results should be pursued in a work of art and whether the pursuit of beauty can be considered an "anti-artistic" event, the painter told us: "No, one should not pursue aesthetic results. I believe that the pursuit of beauty is an 'anti-artistic event,' because this pursuit, in fact, stifles emotion, without which it is impossible for an aesthetic result to exist. I do not reject beauty as a result, but rather as a pursuit." We asked the painter how he views artistic activity in Athens. He told us: “Athens has evolved into a large and rich reality and could foster a much greater artistic movement in the field of the Visual Arts. It could even develop into an artistic center, since it possesses artistic talent that is qualitatively at a very high level compared to the European and generally the global artistic reality. But, unfortunately, in Athens, the conditions are unfavorable for artists who do not belong to organized interests and do not have powerful patrons. Most of the Greek galleries in Athens consist of closed groups that literally pursue their friends, and this, without being driven by a lack of critical assessment, but unfortunately only by self-interest. They have enlisted the daily and periodical press, which is usually informed about artistic activity and related reporting, by irrelevant people who marginalize artists who are not bound to them and do not belong to their circles. Not only the general public, but also art lovers, who more often follow artistic exhibitions, are swayed by the activity of certain galleries and do not know the true artistic reality, nor the worthy artists who, however, do not have the opportunity to show their work. In addition, something else happens: An Athens with 50 or 60 galleries should not disappear. While the number of real galleries remains always minimal, Athens has filled up with shops that call themselves galleries and sell tasteless trinkets for the naive. The fact that these shops exist and multiply shows, apart from a few exceptions, the aesthetic level of our public.” Here ends the conversation with the well-known painter Theodoros Markellos. The modest artist strives to create a personal work, struggling under the anti-artistic conditions of Athens, which have created certain selfish interests. Unharmed is the inner life, expressed as value and as endurance, within his visual artwork. GIORGOS IOANNIS

THE PAINTER MARKELOS BY ART CRITIC NIKOS ALEXIOU The works exhibited by Markellos are not an isolated and accidental artistic act stemming from random "transformations" and modern "alignments," so common in our times. The condensed result of his continuous journey is the outcome of his long and arduous service to the plastic arts, aimed at refining his expressive means and his communication with the most significant phases of European art. Starting from the study of the great museum masters (Greco, Velázquez, Goya, etc.), he traversed the entire historical cycle of European art to reach the most contemporary aesthetic concerns. Familiar with the penetrating study of tradition and the effort to interpret the aesthetic phenomena of Western art at each stage, he defined his own psychological profile, the physiognomy of his painting in its basic elements, and responsibly positioned himself within the space of visual discourse. His current work contains his condensed perceptions of art and the goals he has chosen for his individual presentation. We can therefore highlight the most essential characteristics of his art, such as his non-dogmatism towards various schools and trends. He does not renounce any expressive experience, nor does he submit to any dogmatic attachment. He anthologizes every useful and assimilable element from both representational and abstract art that organically fits into his own dispositions. Furthermore, as evident from his work, Markellos does not believe that the aims of contemporary art can be limited to the thematic narration of the objectively existing, however symbolic it may have become, without breaking contact with the natural environment. In the same way, he refuses to adhere to non-figurative and extreme abstraction that could lead to the chaotic isolation of subjective fantasies. For him, external reality serves as an initial stimulus, more of a challenge to emotion that mobilizes his creation. He is, in other words, a free representational artist who often approaches the borders of abstraction, one who does not narrate impressions but records his psychological states. He primarily records the sorrows that weigh upon today's world, the nightmare life of ordinary people immersed in the depression and exhaustion of a dark everyday life. As we have mentioned, certain vague and altered implications of reality— some railway stations, industrial areas, night views of cities, certain figures— provide the occasion to express the toil and dissolving loneliness of the humble and despised. Both chromatically and formally, Markellos’s compositions open up a space of darkness traversed by the weight of an unrelenting fate for the outcasts of life, and perhaps this confirms the deepest character of the artist—compassion and solidarity with humanity, fear and anxiety for their fate, and the need to place our sensitivity at their service, to illuminate their existence with our love. With this, with warm humanity, with these goals, Markellos’s art becomes an expression of our troubled era and the experiences of our land.

ETHNOS May 24, 1967 The Painter Markellos at the Gallery “Orizon” OPENING YESTERDAY OPENING last night. A new exhibition space began its operations at Nikis Street 33 under the title “Orizon”. At the same time, the exhibition of the painter Theodoros Markellos was inaugurated there, featuring twenty-two of his works. MARKELLOS was born in Athens. In 1952 he graduated from the National School of Fine Arts with five honorary distinctions. From 1954– 56 he studied on a scholarship at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid and from 1960–62 again on a scholarship in Paris at the “École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts”. He has participated in solo and group exhibitions such as: • In 1952 at the Panhellenic Exhibition of Greek Marine Painters. • In Madrid, in 1955, at the Exhibition “Three Greek Painters in Spain”, at the gallery “Tonasson” • In 1956 again in Madrid at the gallery “Centro Asturiano”, as well as at the International Exhibition of Byzantine Art. • In 1957 at the Panhellenic Exhibition, in a group exhibition on the transatlantic liner “Olympia”, as well as at the “Salon d’Automne” in Madrid. • At “Parnassos” in a solo Exhibition in 1958. • In 1959 at the International Exhibition in Vienna. • In 1960 at the Panhellenic Exhibition. • In 1962 at the “Musée National d’Art Moderne” in Paris. • In 1963 at the Panhellenic Exhibition and in a group show at the gallery “Zygos”. • Also, he has participated in “Industrial Area”. One of the works exhibited by Markellos. exhibitions in Florence, at the State Italian Exhibition — where he received a silver medal — and at the Exhibition of Graduates of the National School of Fine Arts. His works — as he told us — are not an isolated and accidental artistic act, stemming from random transformations and modern “abstractions”, common in our era. Starting from the study of the great museum masters — he continues — such as El Greco, Velázquez, Goya, etc., he passed through the entire historical cycle of European Art, to reach the most contemporary aesthetic concerns. The aims of contemporary Art cannot be limited to the thematic narration of objective reality, because if it has acquired a symbolic character, it does so without breaking contact with the natural environment.

Acropolis June 21, 1967 Exhibitions Markellos — Iris Xyla — Lila Chronopoulou — Thalassinós BY OUR SPECIAL CONTRIBUTOR K. M. H. KONSTANTOPOULOS IN RETREAT is the artistic movement, due to the end of the season. The summer months are not conducive to exhibitions in enclosed spaces. Among the recent exhibitions, particular interest is drawn by the solo show of the well-known painter Markellos at the newly modernized gallery "Horizon" (33 Nikis Street), distinguished by its lighting and spatial design; the solo exhibition of painter Iris Xyla at the "Philothei Club" (Upper level, 10th stop); the exhibition of works in enamel and jewelry by Lila Chronopoulou, also at the "Philothei Club"; and finally, the solo exhibition of painter Thalassinós in the large hall of "Planassos." MARKELLOS exhibited 22 works, mostly large-scale oils, featuring compositions and impressions. The artist’s work, characterized by chromatic grace and quality, demonstrates freedom, organization, power, a modern sensibility, and complete compositional elements. The completion of his artistic education in Madrid and Paris enriched his talent with valuable material for the correct construction of a chromatic composition. From his paintings, I will specifically mention "Interior with Nude" (228x164), "Politeia," which interprets the movement and the unresolved problems of the "Industrial Area" (No. 17), the same theme under No. 3, "Nocturne" (No. 12), "Canal" (No. 21), "Nightmare" (No. 20), and "Archaeological Site" in an open chromatic scale. I recognize in Markellos’ brilliant and serious work his valuable and successful effort to enrich contemporary free figurative painting with new chromatic elements, which we have discovered in the course of abstract art. I also acknowledge exceptional quality in his new contribution, which constitutes a fertile element for the development of contemporary Greek art. EFFECTIVE June 24, 1967 AT THE NEW GALLERY "HORIZON" (33 Nikis Street), which offers ample space suitable for exhibiting large paintings and absolutely modernized lighting, presents oil paintings by the well-known painter Markellos, who completed his artistic studies with scholarships in Spain and France. Markellos, a natural man, managed to blend elements of figurative and abstract painting well and to create something new in art. of him, which gathers chromatic quality, original compositional advantages, and rare sensations. Among the best works of this artistic period of his are “Politeia” (The Republic), “Interior with Nude,” “Industrial Area,” “Nightmare,” “Archaeological Site,” and “Railway Station.” Markellos works conscientiously, studies, creates, and advances. He is a painter whose art does not stop. A researcher and dreamer, he aspires to present something new in his painting, and he achieves it.

"MODERN HOUSE", 1967 VISUAL ARTS Th. Markellos "Area of Staircases" PRESENTATION: TH. MARKELOS While all galleries were preparing for the summer period—which for most is a "dead" season—another one held its opening just a few days ago. Specifically, at 33 Nikis Street, a new gallery named "OPIZQN" opened, inaugurated by the exhibition of the well-known painter Markellos. Markellos was born in Athens in 1925 and graduated from the School of Fine Arts. In 1952, along with his diploma, he received five honorary panels, unfinished sketches, paint splatters, and other characteristic signs of the painter's presence. We asked him to talk to us about his work, about the impact art has on young people, especially, and generally to give us his opinion on art. Q. Mr. Markellos, would you like to tell us a few words about your work? A. I will try, although I believe that no one can capture with words what Art can say on its own. I embarked on this path with the sole asset of my love for painting, and I wanted first and foremost to master my technical and expressive means so that they would not become an obstacle in my subsequent journey. I worked hard because I understood that only in this way could I perhaps reach some result. The portrait, the nude, the landscape were the occasions that gave me the opportunity to express my corresponding emotions and to "sharpen" my painting sensibility. The travels I made to various countries gave me the possibility to complete a cycle of long-term study and to draw my conclusions. Thus, I naturally reached the most contemporary aesthetic reflections. The works I am exhibiting in this exhibition of mine are records of mental states of a period that have as their starting point—as always—my contact with the tangible space. I want to emphasize that I do not deny any experience or expressive means, nor do I place myself in any school, tendency, or style. I feel the need to remain absolutely free to express myself not in a programmed way, but in accordance with external impulses or my mental states. Q. Does abstract art have a relation to your work? A. Personally, out of temperament, I reject dogmatic submission to any tendency or school; I reject passing into complete abstraction, believing that it leads to a dead end. This does not prevent me from using elements from it as a means when they can help me expressively and only then, when they are truly assimilated into my work. Q. Do you believe there is some kinship between painting and decoration? A. Painting is an art, whereas decoration is simply good taste that uses artistic elements. I cannot imagine placing a work of art on a bare wall merely to decorate it; a work of art is placed to communicate spiritually with it, satisfying an inner need. Q. Does art resonate with the public, and especially with young people? In our place, apart from exceptions, the general public is indifferent to true art, particularly in the field of visual arts, and taste is at a low level. This is evident from the multitude of shops that have opened in Athens selling tasteless items as works of art. Of course, the general public was not given the opportunity to follow the development of art, but here we are pointing out a situation. Young people are more informed, and the interest of a large portion of them in art makes us optimistic about the future. He studied at the School of Painting of Kostas Hiliadis.

1960 Symaia of Kyrintias Sunday, 31 March 1960 THE FIRST EXHIBITION OF PAINTING BY CORINTHIAN ARTISTS Critical Note by Mr. Michalis Cheliotis Here is a beautiful exhibition by the Committee for Intellectual and Artistic Events of the Municipality of Corinth, which we applaud unreservedly. And here is also proof that the undersigned, when writing and criticizing, does not do so out of sterile opposition, but is driven by pure intentions! So be it. Thus, last Sunday, in the halls of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the inauguration of the 1st Exhibition of Corinthian Artists took place in the presence of the city authorities and with the enthusiastic participation of the Corinthian public. If one excludes a few isolated exhibitions by various artists at very rare intervals, the present exhibition is a completely unprecedented event for our city, and we hope that similar exhibitions will be repeated. However, a painting exhibition does not necessarily mean a collection of all the works that the artists have created throughout their lives. A careful selection and, above all, evaluation by the creators themselves. For this reason, we believe that greater attention and some curation of the paintings would have benefited rather than harmed the exhibition. Nevertheless, being obliged to judge what we saw, we will not hesitate to do so, with a hand on our heart, and always motivated by good intentions: We begin, following the order of names as they appear printed in the catalog, without any other intentions of selection! Mr. Dinos Anastasopoulos is the youngest of the group. A young, modest, and self-taught artist who surprised us. Of course, he must work very hard and learn many more things. The portrait of a child with vivid red light and his autumn landscape show that Mr. A. has a sense of beauty and is not devoid of feeling; he just needs a lot of work. He is young, so let him begin the struggle. Mrs. Blachogianni knows how to paint, completely faithfully, in a manner reminiscent of beautiful postcards. Her colors are intense, but And his "fish" and his "easel," and generally all his paintings, are characterized by boldness and originality. The work of Mr. P. Kozanidis is very modest. The colors are soft and measured, the shapes entirely careful. However, Mr. K. must learn many more things before one can say that you are a painter. We wish him well in learning them. Mr. Ch. Kousentos knows exactly what he is doing. He is a painter. A flawless technician with bold colors and inspiration. The fact that he prefers commercial art over artistic creation—the broad, open-ended kind that unfortunately leads to many sorrows and disappointments, but also to other spheres—is entirely his own choice. Nevertheless, we have even enjoyed his commercial mock-ups. Everything—all the lines, all the forms, all the shapes and subjects—betrays the artist. We only wish that he might abandon commercial art so that he may rightfully win the great, divine creation that connects man with God. Mr. Theod. Markellos dominates the gallery. Here we have a perfect—indeed, the most perfect among our peers—painter, but also a true artist. Mr. M. knows how to give depth to his canvases. A flawless technician with enviable color palettes, he is not merely a painter who photographs reality, but one who knows how to open wide windows, to create psychological states. Take an example. The painting “Anthrakousis (Mandritis)” is a work with a heavy atmosphere. It crushes with its dark color, offering only a small exit through a red spot in the foreground. However, his “Boats in Hydra” are something entirely different. So are “The Sea” and “Spring in Seldia.” Paintings full of light, full of joy and happiness. And this precisely means being a painter. First and foremost, a poet of psychological states, and only secondarily a photographer of nature. In conclusion, we would like to ask Mr. M. to give us—soon—the joy of a complete, fair individual exhibition of his work in our city.

VISUAL ARTS V. KONTOURIDIS EXHIBITIONS K. Andreou — 1st Radio Exhibition Th. Markellos — National Gallery The two paintings exhibited at the Panhellenic Exhibition of 1957 by Th. MARKELOS were sufficient for one to judge what this artist gained from his scholarship awarded by the Spanish State in 1954. The work "Parnassus" (103 paintings) is the result of his studies in the land of Goya and Velazquez. What characterizes Markellos is his free brushwork, rich color palette, and the balance of warmth in execution. He does not reject strong outlines; he exploits the intense character of the contour where he wishes to emphasize his subject. His work presents a homogeneity without monotony. He achieves a pleasant success in rendering nocturnal light in his works "Nocturne with Rain" (34) and "Night Bar" (44) and "Road" (1) and "Spring" and the color of his subject "Steam Engine" (63).

Markellos presents 103 of his works (oil paintings), inspired by Spain, Paris, and Greece. He also exhibits three copies of works by Greco, Velazquez, and Goya, which he executed in Spanish museums. Markellos was born in 1925 in Athens and in 1948 entered the Higher School of Fine Arts, where he studied with teachers Georgiadis and Kefallinos. In 1952 he received his diploma with honors. He participates in exhibitions of the Hellenes, marine painters, and the Panhellenic Exhibition. In 1954 he went to Spain on a scholarship from the Spanish state and attended the Higher School of San Fernando with professors Don Francisco Soria Ayento and [the teacher] of Goya, (The Execution of the Rebels) by Velazquez and Theotokopoulos (Greco), which he rendered quite satisfactorily. Markellos is seized by a fever of creation and recreation. His works from Madrid and Segovia give us images of real Spain. Indeed, the Spanish critic wrote correctly that the Greek artist has approached and interpreted the country better than many Spanish masters of painting. “The Street” (no. 1) has movement and color; or “Plaza Espana” (no. 6) with Don Quixote and Sancho Panza is 100% Spain. “The Garden” (no. 16) is a delight to the eye in chromatic harmony. “After Rain” (no. 21) permeates with moist multiplicity. His impressions from bullfights are characteristic. I also note “The Old Quarter” (no. 23), “Castile” (no. 31), where [the style] is expressed. Near the trains (Madrid). (Oil) by the painter Th. Markellos. Don Carlos Saenz de Tejada. In Spain he studied the great artists in the museums and exhibited repeatedly in the Spanish salons. Afterwards he continued his artistic exhibitions in Paris. In 1957 he took part in the Panhellenic Exhibition and the Exhibition of the transoceanic liner “Olympia,” as well as in the world exhibition in Madrid, where his work received an award. The Spanish press has devoted enthusiastic comments to the work of the Greek painter. The art critic Flguquerela Ferreti considers Markellos “a representative of luminous painting,” who imparts the highest value to chromatic explosion with a free, lively, and energetic brushstroke. The art critic Antonio Compo wrote that “Markellos is a brilliant colorist with a bold palette.” Finally, the art critic... Mariano Tolia wrote that the Greek painter “rendered the Spanish landscape with more warmth than some masters of Spanish painting.” All these laudatory critiques of Markellos’s work are well-founded. The Greek painter, imbued with Greek light and with fundamental roots from Georgiadis’s teaching, managed to capture all the power and the distinctive form of the Spanish landscape, which is encompassed by the Mediterranean sun. The entire fervor of the Spanish race is reflected in Markellos’s themes from Spain. The artist, endowed with rich talent, a bold brushstroke, and a free yet juicy draftsmanship, gave us in his works the real Spain. No Greek painter has penetrated the soul of the Spanish landscape and Spanish life as much as Markellos, who sings it in all tones in his feverish painting. Even in his copies The piece “Children in the Sun” (no. 65) is more free. Among his Parisian works and landscapes, which have a different light and atmosphere, I note no. 73 (Towards Notre Dame) and the “Industrial Area” (no. 75). The ships and ports of Genoa are beautiful works (nos. 80, 81): FINALLY, in the Greek landscape, Markellos gave his distinctive form, framed by geometric light, austerity, elegance, and finesse: I single out the works nos. 83 (Kifisia), 87, 89, 93, 96 (Piraeus), 97, 99, 100, 101 (From the Port). The exhibition of Th. Markellos stands at a very high artistic level, and his brilliant work is the result of study, toil, and conscientiousness, which are framed and enriched within his strong talent. The restlessness and the boldness of the young painter will lead him to the

PAGE 2a "HYGEIONOMIKI FONI" OUR ARTISTIC MOVEMENT PAINTING EXHIBITIONS ART CRITIC NOTE BY MR. AGGELLOS DOSA (The "Hygeionomiki Foni", in its continuous effort to enrich its content, inaugurates today a regular art criticism column and is very happy to announce that it has secured for this purpose the collaboration of the well-known art critic and our colleague Mr. Aggelos Dosa. Thus, doctors, who are particularly considered as patrons of painters, will find in our new column a responsible information and guidance on the Greek movement of the visual arts). Two interesting exhibitions of young painters at "Parnassos": by Mr. Th. Markellos and Mr. K. Linakis. Mr. Markellos, whose works have been exhibited at last year's Panhellenic, at the international one in Moscow and at the autumn salon in Madrid, comes to us from Spain where he underwent further education for three years with more than a hundred oil paintings, small and large, mainly landscapes and primarily from Spain. There are, however, also some pieces from Greece, France, Italy. Mr. Markellos is an impressionist with a solid drawing through which a psychological content emerges within a realistic framework. In this, a peculiar chromatic treatment of colors disturbs him. That is, he manages to give warmth and a relaxation to even more intense and bold colors, which elsewhere turns into a lukewarm chaos, elsewhere into a psychological warmth, elsewhere into an idealized uplift. Thus, the coloristic pieces no. 7, 8, 16, 17, 24, 32, 36, 65, 69 intensity, a vegetal freshness, a ness, a natural freshness, while in others he experiments with hypothetical light, the light of the day no. (79) or the light of the night (no. 34, no. 44). Even in the most realistic subjects, such as a cargo ship (no. 80, no. 101) or the signal box of a railway station (no. 49), the realistic harshness disappears under a pulse of life. Another characteristic of Mr. Markellos is how much he has absorbed the Spanish atmosphere. And after he rendered it with authenticity no. 1, 14, 19, 46, 52, 53, 54, 64 etc. he involuntarily transferred it to the landscapes of France, even to the Greek ones. But Mr. Markellos shows us another characteristic of his. That his style constantly advances to new discoveries. The paintings 83, 86, 87, 89 clearly show this where he draws OLD MADRID (Oil painting by Th. Markellos) scholarship of the Spanish government and exhibits at "Parnassos"

'AUGI' 27 Feb. 1958 VISUAL ARTS TH. MARKELOS: OLD MADRID THE EXHIBITION OF THEOD. MARKELOS In the large hall of "Parnassos" The young painter Mr. Theod. Markellos presents a rich body of work in the large hall of "Parnassos". Quality and quantity harmonize perfectly, leaving one with a sense of euphoria before the harmony of colors generously offered in this earthy festival. Mr. Markellos is primarily a landscape painter. His subjects come from Spain (Madrid and Seville), Paris, and Greece. He strives to convey onto his canvases the very same emotion he felt before the Spanish landscape. He surrenders freely to his impressions, unconcerned with school-related problems. He handles his colors boldly; his paintings are filled with light, yet a light that does not neutralize the colors but rather highlights them in all their brilliance. Mr. Markellos works with sincerity and always has a subject. He draws his inspiration from the world around us. And his inspiration is purely chromatic. The subject is always the pretext for showcasing color combinations found in nature, which moved the artist as such, and he tries to give them to us through his work with the hidden hope that they will make us feel the same joys. In this atmosphere moves Mr. Markellos, unbound by any specific school, remaining faithful to the painting of tradition. A tendency toward simplification in design and color appears in the later part of his work (mainly landscapes from Greece), whereas in earlier paintings one finds strong impressionistic tendencies. His trip to Spain gave him the opportunity to study the great Spanish painters, but it does not seem that this study influenced him. He studied the Spanish landscape and light more, attempting to capture its character. But before his subject, he always remains a receiver, a receiver full of sensitivity. He does not view the landscape starting from a predetermined mood. His mood is given, the emotion is born within him, and he gives us this emotion. But the artist is not only a receiver; he cannot remain neutral. We would expect Mr. Markellos to use this ability of his to see in synthetic works. He already has sufficient experience from direct contact with nature. Our era, like every era, is shaken by problems, and these problems, this life that It moves around us and within us; it is the permanent theme of art. Why do we limit ourselves only to color harmonies, to calm or turbulent landscapes outside of us? Life has infinite forms. Physically, every person, every artist has their own world and moves within that world. And emotion is often something entirely subjective. Mr. Markellos paints in his own way and in his own atmosphere, and manages in many of his paintings to immerse us in that atmosphere, to give us the emotion he felt. (Road - 1, Dusk - 15, Paved Road - 21, Kastelli Landscape - 31, Autumn - 32, Storm in Kas- telli - 47, Marseille, road - 79, Landscape - 86, Corinthia landscape - 102, Houses - 62, Park - 36, etc.). This is also his objective goal elsewhere, and I can say that he achieved it. MILTO GARIDIS THE "AUTOBIOGRAPHY"

THE ARTISTIC MOVEMENT AFTERNOON 25-2-54 “Factory Area”: Oil painting by Th. Markellos. Exhibited in the large hall of “Parnassos”. THE PAINTING EXHIBITIONS (BY MR. THEOD. MARKELOS) BY MR. M. H. KONSTANTOPOULOS In the large hall of “Parnassos”, the young painter Theod. Markellos, a student of Georgiadis and Kefallinou and later of various painters in Spain, is exhibiting 103 oil paintings with themes from Life and the outdoors of Madrid, Seville, the French capital, and Greece. He also exhibits excellent copies from Goya (fusillade of patriots) and Domenikos Theotokopoulos (El Greco). The artist executed the aforementioned works in the museums of Spain where they are exhibited, and managed to come very close to the originals. With conscience and dedication, he worked for a long time to complete this arduous task. It is not at all easy work to successfully copy a Goya, a Velázquez, or a Theotokopoulos. Markellos, when he was studying at the School, received 5 distinctions. Later he exhibited successfully at the two Panhellenic exhibitions, at the salons of Spain, where Spanish critics devoted enthusiastic reviews to his feverish and bold work, and at the international exhibition in Moscow he received praise. In Spain he studied with a scholarship. In his works from Spain, Markellos gave us all the color and fever of Spanish life, of that race, which flows in the veins full of blood, passions, love, and desire. Rightly, the Spanish art critic Mariano Tomas wrote that “Markellos felt the spirit of Castile with deeper warmth than some so-called masters of contemporary Spanish painting”. From his works, I particularly note nos. 1 (“Road” — much color and movement), 3 (“Rain on the plaza”), 5 (“Approaching Storm” — very bold in color and execution)—10, 13, 16, 18 (“Bullfight”), 20 (“Railway Area”), 21 (“Retreat” — gathers a humid atmosphere) 25, 31, 34, 37, 42, 44 (“Night Bar”), 46, 47 (“Storm in Castile”) 48, 49. Very strongly distinguished in quality, color, and free design are the pieces from Seville: 54, 55 (“Outside the City” — a considerable chromatic reservoir), 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65 (sketchy, advanced in free design), 67 and 68. From Paris, I note the works “Towards Notre Dame” and “Industrial Area” (nos. 73 and 75). Also noteworthy are the harbor pieces from Genoa. (80, 81). Markellos easily adapts to any atmosphere, and his palette, endowed with his great sensitivity and talent, performs wonders in every outdoor setting. He paints Spain one way, differently he paints Greece. His works do not resemble each other. His flowers are expressed differently, depending on the subject and the atmosphere he depicts and interprets. In the Greek landscape, he wonderfully conveyed its geometric light, the elegance and simplicity of line, the finesse. No. 83 (“Kifisia”), 87, 89 (“Attica”), 91 (“composition in the kitchen”), 93 (“Castella”), 96 (“Piraeus”), 110, 101 (“Harbor”). Markellos is a young, brilliant painter, with serious and dynamic work. His brilliant contribution promises more laurels for the future. M. X. KONSTANTOPOULOS

“GREEK NORTH” 25 DEC. 1957 GREEK AND FOREIGN ART “A Japanese painter had celebrated his centenary since his birth, and when one of his dinner companions asked him if he was satisfied with the results of his labor and study over the past hundred years, he answered with some expression of discouragement that not only was he not satisfied with the outcomes of a century of study devoted to painting, but if he could obtain from God a loan of another hundred years, then he could say that he had entered the meaning of true creation and could capture with his palette the idealization of beauty. And what is beauty? According to the prevailing opinion, it is the phenomenon that satisfies our aesthetic faculty. And what is aesthetic faculty? It is the inner sense that creates the judgment for the quality of the artistic rendering of an art object, whether it copies a natural object or idealizes it, or creates a color harmony without an object to evoke emotion in the spirit, the eye, or the soul of the viewer (abstractionism). And when I see a portrait with double technical skill and rendering in shape, expression, and composition, I experience an emotion, because my aesthetic faculty is satisfied and simultaneously my judgment finds satisfaction to immediately express my admiration for the artist for the ability that the Highest bestowed upon him to render the object in its entirety and give me the illusion of reality or the impression of idealization. When I see a polymorphic composition, I additionally appreciate the painter’s imagination. But when I see the painting from the exhibition of young painters under no. 37, which the painter Mr. Mavridis titled “bird,” an immediate reaction arises in my aesthetic senses, because the artist does not tell me: spill ink or color on a prepared background and name it the emotion of the moment and hang it with hooks—but rather limits my imagination to a specific object, in this case, telling me that I, the viewer, must reconstruct the image of the bird in this mess. So must I stop seeing the bird as Nature created it, or must I stop seeing Mr. Mavridis’s painting as a bird, thereby committing disobedience to the painter’s commands,” Whoever has distanced himself from the natural object through his palette in an arbitrary manner, invokes Nature in his title as a panacea, because the perceptible world surrounding him is depressingly the source of all inspiration, whether it be an object, a feeling, an idea, an inspiration, a sound, or a representation. But to return to the Japanese painter, the host asked him whether a tailor could become an orator, or a barber a surgeon, or a sun solve higher algebraic problems, and naturally, he answered no. He also asked him whether a common mortal could paint the Assumption of the Virgin by El Greco, or the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo, or NOTE BY PAINTER K.

Also, whether a twenty-something so-called "modern" painter could overturn the fabric of human aesthetic capacity and force us to admit that he has revealed the painting of heroic delirium, the Japanese painter answered no. No, he answered when asked if he could overturn the concept of greatness enclosed by Egyptian art, the classical art of Greek antiquity, up to the painting of Maurice Goya, or Titian, or Raphael, or Sebastiano del Piombo. Another hall without even having hung it. And it is perhaps the best work among several other good ones, or among the 83 works. So, should no one weep for the plight of the new generation of our modern painters? Should no one wonder what this pitiful exploitation of Art will bring us, which deserves to stand as the starting point of a New Renaissance of a new Cosmogony in Art and a liberation from the anguish of nervousness that grips today's humanity?". THE FIFTH WORK OF THE ALEXANDRAKI TROUPE The Alexandraki Troupe, after the work "Erotic Adventure," will stage a new comedy this coming Friday.

BY JEANINE WARNOD The Comparaisons Salon On the perimeter of the Grand Palais temple, the Greeks and the Japanese and the Fontainebleau School, although Gillou presents a cold imitation of the famous painting located in the Louvre. We are far from the Pompeian frescoes, the Japanese prints, and the Fontainebleau School, although Gillou presents a cold imitation of the famous painting located in the Louvre. Mr. Osenat, in his introduction, claims that "erotic painting is something different from serious obscenity, an encyclopedia of corruptions and decadent behaviors... It is not scandalous... The dirty contrasts with purity, but approaches it." They show us nudes of all kinds, virtuous women, prostitutes, lesbians. The latter, lying down, all white, painted by Sebire, rests on a black bed, while Carzou's two friends leave for a mysterious palace. Hauterive painted the wild animals of Cailiaux, whose cages have been opened, and they mate. As for Rusin's repulsive painting, presented outside these halls, it goes beyond eroticism. A note of emotion in this Salon, the honors awarded to lost artists, Oudot, Planson, Braig, Mathelin. They remain always alive through their paintings.

TUESDAY, JUNE 5, 1969 SONOS THE MEMORY OF THE PIRATE SCATTERS PAINTER I After a five-month artistic tour in Italy, during which he held three successful solo exhibitions in a number of art centers — at the “Sagittario” gallery in Milan, at the “Rusar” gallery in Trieste, and at the “Pelando Vecio” gallery in Florence — the guest painter Theodore Markellos returned to Athens. Regarding the work of the “Greek painter,” Giulio Montenero, art critic and director of the “Redatella” Museum, wrote, and this gentleman analyzed Markellos’s work on Italian television. Provocative star of the gal lery, Baffon is to Baffon, who will include in the new film of the pirate the pirate a key minute Work: To speak to the Question of the young Mason who is behind the face!

THE WEEKLY 2-2-1982 exhibitions MARKELOS A very impressive artistic presence at the “ART GALLERY”, on Vas. Sofias Avenue 4. The well-known painter MARKELOS exhibits his new contribution, with a series of fifty-three paintings, inspired this time by Rhodes, Kalymnos, Nisyros, Karpathos and Milos. In particular, the summer landscapes of Rhodes offer a vivid image of life, embellished by intense color, given by the golden light of the Aegean sun. With the experience and stability of his palette, the artist, through a harmonious and balanced interplay of his mathematical drawing with color, has immortalized the charm—natural, historical, and architectural—of many of the familiar spots of sunny Rhodes, from the ancient city to the new, tourist one. Interior and exterior landscapes of the beautiful island, rocky beaches where the blue is highlighted in a positive harmony with the sunlight, and narrow streets and cobblestones, with traditional houses and balconies, emphasize the local color. All these picturesque elements, rendered with a design outlined with precision, create a lyrical mood. With poetry that emerges from the calm colors and the mathematically rendered light and shadow. Theodoros Markellos, with an active record of fifteen solo exhibitions and ten others, with paintings that today adorn galleries, ministries, embassies, banks, and private collections, both in our country and abroad, has something to show: a characteristic artistic modesty, without precedent. This modesty, this humanity, this spiritual beauty of his, he has transferred to all his creations. Each of his works offers a distinct emotion, a pulse that originates from the inner soul of the artist. In “Kalymnian Deserted House,” how much poetry exists around it. The simple lyricism bestowed by the monochromatic nature of the space has been offered with a simple hand by the painter, in a wonderful combination of colors, lighting, and shadows. With this expressive method and medium, the artist, with the conscientiousness and sincerity that characterize him, has created this entire interesting new series of his works, which above all are distinguished by a clear sensitivity, a luster, a binding of light and color that overflows from the natural radiance and grace that he creates. One sees with how much art, with how much skill, the artist Art permeates every word, the natural light, creating a pictorial complex of our world. A chromatic troubadour, we might say, of nature and the life that surrounds him. The natural light shines, [ridi] living from natural colors. Each composition has a given structure, and the artist’s personality is evident. The drawing emerges from the honesty of the natural element. Each painting transmits the painter’s emotion to the viewer. You see how the artist succeeded in transmuting his subject into a dream, into a fairy tale, transferring to the viewer, his guest, in an essential way, the atmosphere of each place that moves him. A poem in every stroke, every acrobatic gesture. And a poem is not only the verse. A poem is everything that touches the human soul. A poet-painter is Markellos, who knows the secret of embracing with drawing and color, our inner world. Written by PERSEUS ATHINAOS of realism and classicism.

It is clearly visible how much the artist is moved by the Greek light, how deeply he is imbued with the lyrical charms of the transparent sea that frames our islands. Juicy art, expressing the insights, impressions and stimuli of the brilliant artist, in an ode of colors and lighting. His merits are undeniable. His faith in the color palette is obvious.

TECHNOCRITICAL NOTES THE EXHIBITION OF O. MARKELOS BY OUR COLLABORATOR MR. M. H. KONSTANTOPOULOS In the large hall of the Parisian exhibition, under the high patronage of the Ambassador of Spain, Juan Felipe de Antero, the new painter Th. Markellos exhibits 103 of his works (oil paintings), inspired by Spain, Paris, and Greece. He also exhibits three copies of works by El Greco, Velázquez, and Goya, which he studied in the museums of Spain. Markellos was born in 1925 in Athens and in 1948 entered the Higher School of Fine Arts, where he studied under the teachers Georgiadis and Kefallianos. In 1952 he received his diploma with three honorary distinctions. He participated in the exhibition of Greek painters and the Franco-Greek exhibition. In 1954 he moved to Spain with a scholarship from the Spanish state and enrolled in the Higher School of San Fernando with professors Don Ranancico Soria Ayedo and the of Goya, (fusillade of rebels) of Velázquez and of Theotokopoulos (El Greco), which he satisfactorily reproduced. Markellos is driven by a fever of creation and re-creation. His works from Madrid and Segovia give us images of the real Spain, and rightly the Spanish critic wrote that the Greek artist has approached and interpreted the country better than many masters of Spanish painting. "The Road" (no. 1) has movement and color; "Plaza España" (no. 6) with Don Quixote and Sancho Panza is 100% Spain. "The Garden" (no. 16) is a joy to the eyes in chromatic harmony. "The Departure" (no. 21) radiates upright quality. Characteristic are his impressions from bullfights. I also note the "Atlas neighborhood" (no. 23), "Castile" (no. 31), where the Near the trains (Madrid) (Oil) by the painter Th. Markellos. It is Carlos Saenz de Tejada. In Spain he studied the great artists in the museums and repeatedly visited the Spanish salons. Subsequently he developed his artistic roots in Paris. In 1957 he took part in the Panhellenic exhibition and the exhibition of the "Olympia" cooperative, as well as in the world exhibition in Moscow, where his work was praised. The Spanish press has devoted strong commentary to the work of the Greek painter. The critic Figuerola writes that he considers Markellos a representative of the painting delegation, who grants the highest license to chromatic explosion with a free, bold, and energetic brushstroke. The critic Antonio Compo wrote that “Markellos is a brilliant colorist with a bold palette.” Finally, the critic Mariano wrote that the Greek painter “rendered the Spanish landscape with more warmth than some masters of Spanish painting.” All these laudatory judgments regarding Markellos’s work are well-founded. The Greek painter, imbued with Greek light and with solid foundations from Georgiadis’s teaching, managed to capture the power and the distinctive form of the Spanish landscape, which includes the Mediterranean sun. All the fever of Spanish themes is present in Markellos’s Spain. The artist, endowed with a gifted brushstroke and free, yet disciplined drawing, has placed the real Spain in his works. No Greek painter has entered the soul of the Spanish landscape and Spanish life as deeply as Markellos, who sings it in all tones in his feverish painting. Even in his copies, the artist’s healthy works, “Night with Rain” (no. 34) — an artistic and powerful work —, “Path to the Lake” (no. 37), “Road” (Praise of the International Fashion Exhibition), the masterfully executed and conceived “Storm in Castile,” 48, 53, 54, 58. His pieces from stations and trains convey with intensity the movement and the atmosphere of departure (no. 20, 63). The work “With Collaboration” stands out for its chromatic boldness and power. More free is the piece “Stroll in the Sun” (no. 65). Among his Parisian works and landscapes, which have different light and atmosphere, I note no. 73 (Towards Notre Dame) and the “Industrial Area” (no. 75). The squares and ports of Genoa are notable works (no. 80, 81). Finally, in the Greek landscape, Markellos gave it his distinctive form, shaped by geometric light, austerity, elegance, and finesse. The works no. 83 (Piraeus), 87, 89, 93, 96 (Piraeus), 97, 99, 100, 101 (‘From the Port’) stand out. The exhibition of Th. Markellos stands at a very high artistic level, and his diligent work is the result of study, effort, and conscientiousness, which are shaped and kneaded within his strong talent.

IL GAGGETTINO 12-5-1969 ART EXHIBITIONS Markellos at “Russo” A Greek artist, Theodoros Markellos from Athens, is exhibiting at the “Russo” Art Gallery. As a creator of a definitive painting style that emerged from his academic training, Markellos rediscovers the stimulating wave of Impressionism to freeze images emerging from his “notebook,” the result of a gradual discovery of local and environmental feelings. In the creative act, he addresses the canvas with a decisive brushstroke, in which he has carefully smoothed the initial sharpness of the color, so that it diffuses into luminous shades that gently underscore his tendency to “see” art as a tribute to nature. This spiritual disposition thus leads him to produce works that dissolve into a romantic background, discovering the objective dimension of reality with the cores intact, in order to establish a descriptive structure, isolated and pure in its deepest essence. The need to respond to the narrative premise binds Markellos to a space where, at least superficially, deviations and contradictions do not emerge: in this rare bond, the painter can act beyond any responsible commitment that would arise from observing the rift that has occurred between reality and tradition. Markellos thus manages to perfectly convey the pure and silent atmosphere of his timeless world, where coasts and remote locations host unknown settlements bathed by a clear and deep sea. Carlo Milic New work in the series “Political Struggle and Resistance” The Regional Institute for the History of the Liberation Movement in Friuli-Venezia Giulia has published another volume, the tenth, in the series “Political Struggle and Resistance.” It is the work by Primo Cresta titled “A Partisan of Osoppo on the Eastern Borders.” The presentation is given by regional councilor Cesare Devetag.

The Parisian Hours of Markellos “Paris was also for me one of the significant catalysts in the formation and cultivation of my painterly character. I felt that I owed it to the city, in my exhibition, a fragmented portrait of its enigmatic visage. Beyond the contemporary concerns that its intellectual atmosphere helped me develop, I wished in this exhibition to express our secret conversations and the emotions from my Parisian hours with immediacy. A manner that I still maintain today in my interpretation of the Greek Space. I believe that the initial emotion is the paramount factor in the plastic reconstruction of my compositional pursuits.” With these confessional lines, he accompanied his work, which under the title “Paris 1960-62” was presented at “Parnassos” by the well-known painter Theodoros Markellos. An exhibition held under the auspices of the Hellenic-French Association that aroused the interest of art lovers.

EXHIBITION OF OUR FELLOW CITIZEN PAINTER TH. MARKELOS AT THE “ARGO” GALLERY IN ATHENS The painter Markellos at the gallery where he is exhibiting. The exhibition of our distinguished fellow citizen painter Theodore Markellos at the “Argo” gallery, Merlin Street, Athens, was a great success. A large number of artists – including many from Corinth – visited the exhibition to admire the stunning paintings in which art, and only art, dominates. The success was significant, because an artist who has been honored abroad many times deserves to be honored by the Greek community as well. “NEA EPOCHI” of Corinth, February 29, 1988

THEVES, May 24, 1967 The painter Markellos at the Gallery “Horizon” OPENING LAST NIGHT OPENING last night. A new exhibition space began its operations at 33 Nikis Street under the title “Horizon”. At the same time, an exhibition by the painter Theodoros Markellos, featuring twenty-two of his works, was also inaugurated. MARKELLOS was born in Athens. In 1952 he graduated from the National School of Fine Arts with five honorary distinctions. From 1954 — 56 he studied on a scholarship at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid and from 1960 — 62 again on a scholarship in Paris at the “Ecole Supérieure des Beaux-Arts”. He has participated in solo and group exhibitions such as: • In 1952 at the Panhellenic Exhibition of Greek Marine Painters. • In Madrid, in 1955, at the Exhibition “Three Greek Painters in Spain”, at the Gallery “Tonasson” • In 1956 again in Madrid at the gallery “Centro Asturiano”, as well as at the • International Exhibition of Byzantine Art. • In 1957 at the Panhellenic Ex- hibition, in a group Exhibition on the theme of the Olympic Games, as well as at the “Salon d’Automne” in Madrid. • In a solo Exhibition in 1958. • In 1959 at the International Ex- hibition in Vienna. • In 1960 at the Panhellenic Exhibition. • In 1962 at the “Musée de l’Art Moderne” in Paris. • In 1963 at the Panhellenic Exhibition and in a group show at the gallery “Zygos”. He has also participated in “Industrial area”. One of the works exhibited by Markellos. Lectures in Florence, at the State Italian Exhibition — where he won a silver medal — and at the Exhibition of Graduates of the National School of Fine Arts. His works — as he told us — represent an isolated and contingent artistic act, which arises from random transformations and modern “alignments”, characteristic of our era. Starting from the study of the great museum masters — he continues — such as Goya, Velázquez, Goya etc., he passed through all of the Historical canon of European Art, to reach the most contemporary aesthetic concerns. The aims of con- temporary Art cannot be limited to the thematic de- scription of objectively existing reality, even if it has acquired a symbolic character, without breaking contact with the natural environment.

«ETHNOS» MONDAY, JULY 17, 1967 Theod. Markellos SPEAKS ABOUT HIS ART AND REALITY By our collaborator, painter GIORGOS IOANNOU It is evident how the artist usually resembles his work, how in the end he becomes an image and a reflection of himself. In the case of painter Theodoros Markellos, the opposite occurred. In the end, the work came to resemble the artist himself. For this reason, one may not be able to fully understand Markellos’s work without having previously gotten to know the man himself. The low-key and discreet range of his works, which he presented at the Galerie L’Horizon, and the condensation of the elements that structure the composition of his pieces, constitute the characteristic monologue of Markellos, who navigates the content of his discreet solitude. For the painter, the past and the present are a continuous journey of internal isolation, which have helped shape his work. Markellos is a reserved artist who possesses the advantage of a rich inner life. His gaze is clear and honest, just like his speech and behavior. Markellos was born in Athens in 1925. In 1952, he received his diploma from the Athens School of Fine Arts (A.S.K.T.), with five honorary distinctions. From 1954 to 1956, he studied with stipends... Markellos’s studio. Personal and independent work that is not determined by... ...and painted the world around me. I did portraits, nudes, landscapes, everything. In Greece, Spain, Paris. I sought experience in... My continuous path led me smoothly to the most contemporary aesthetic concerns. However, I did not allow myself to leave gaps behind, nor to make leaps to save time. In my current exhibition, I present compositions that are the natural result of this journey. They have their initial impulse in the tangible world and its representational elements. And they reach, without describing, the recording of physical states and moods. I use any expressive means, any technical experience. However, I refuse to submit to schools, trends, or doctrines. I maintain absolute freedom to express myself according to my natural dispositions or my inner impulses. We asked Markellos whether art can be given an esoteric character, as far as expression and trends are concerned. And furthermore, whether the artist should create... Theodoros Markellos ...and bridge the gap that opens between... with a geometric approach, increasingly... the development of technical civilization and the spiritual and philosophical development of our era, which proceeds at a slower pace.” And when we asked him whether an artwork should aim for an aesthetic effect and whether the pursuit of beauty could be considered an anti-artistic act, our painter replied: “No, beauty should not be pursued. Genuine emotion, not pursuit, will bring about the aesthetic effect. I believe that the pursuit of beauty is an anti-artistic act, because the pursuit itself dulls the emotion, without which an aesthetic effect is impossible. I accept beauty as a result, not as a goal.” We asked the painter how he views artistic activity in Athens. He told us: “Athens has become a residual and surrounding city.”

From 1954 to 1956, he studied on a scholarship at the Higher School of Fine Arts in San Fernando, Madrid, and from 1960 to 1962, he again studied on a scholarship at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Solo exhibitions: In 1956 at the "Chantre" Asturian Gallery in Madrid, in 1958 at the Exhibition Hall in Athens, in 1963 at the "Spinetti" Gallery in Florence.

Quadriennale d'Europa in Rome, "Zygos" Gallery, UK "Olympia," as well as in the Panhellenic Exhibitions. At the State Italian Exhibition, Premio Montedoro, he was awarded a silver medal. His works are found in collections in Greece and abroad. We asked the painter Theodoros Markellos about his work. The well-known artist told us: "Art expresses what language cannot express. I fully agree with this view, which is why I will be very reluctant to elaborate on my views on art, and specifically on my own work, in a few words. Nevertheless, I will try... I started with a true love for painting, and from the very beginning, I understood that one must devote oneself completely to it to have even a small hope of eventually achieving a result that justifies the effort. I believed that a lot of work was needed to master my technical and expressive means and to cultivate my painting's stability. Thus, I work hard, studied, and copied the great masters. A woman from the studio. without this detracting from personal character and, of course, independence. How can the development of technical civilization affect artistic creation, and in what way? To this question, Markellos answered: "Absolutely yes. Because the artist, like people, uses daily the means provided by technical civilization. And I believe that the artist is the one who, with his specialty, must..." He resumed his artistic activity in Athens. He told us: “Athens has developed into a large, populous metropolis and could have a much greater artistic movement in the field of the Visual Arts. It could even evolve into an artistic center, since it possesses artistic potential that is qualitatively at a much higher level compared to the vague and generally global artistic reality. But, unfortunately, in Athens, the conditions are unfavorable for artists who do not belong to organized interests and do not have powerful patrons. Most of the few galleries in Athens consist of closed groups that try to literally impose their friends, and this, without being driven by a history of evaluation, but unfortunately only by interests. They have enlisted the daily and periodical press, the usual source of information on artistic activity and related reporting, people who interrupt and promote the artists of their circle with insistence and provocation. Thus, they have created a closed caste of artists, a guild without evaluation, that dominates the artistic field, since they have the ability to exhibit in the missions of these galleries without paying rent and to be promoted by the journalistic groups that scandalously support the consciences of these galleries. Thus, they deprive artists who do not mingle and do not belong to their circles of the right to present their work. Not only the general public, but also art lovers, who more frequently attend art exhibitions, are misled by the activities of certain galleries and do not know the true artistic reality, nor are they shown artists who do not have the opportunity to show their work. Besides this, something else happens: An Athens with 50 or 60 galleries should not help us. While two galleries, or perhaps always the same ones, have always been lucky, Athens has filled with shops that call themselves galleries and sell ordinary crafts for the naive. The fact that these shops exist and multiply shows, besides the shopkeepers’ exceptions, the aesthetic level of our public.” The discussion with the well-known painter Theodoros Markellos has ended. The modest artist is recognized for creating a personal body of work, struggling against the anti-artistic conditions in Athens, which have created a distinct and interesting interest. However, his artistic style is expressed in value and as a successor within his visual art.

FROM THE ATHENS EXHIBITIONS The solo exhibition of painter Markellos, under the general title “Shipyards,” was inaugurated in the hall of the “British Council” (Kolonaki Square) and will run until December 19. As the title of the exhibition indicates, the painter draws his themes from shipyards and the lives of those who work there; the painting depicted above is also an example of Mr. Markellos’s work.

Friday, December 7, 1979 2 I HEAR... I SEE ★ THE TURKS ARE LOOTING CYPRIOT ANTIQUITIES. This is not, dear reader, a new finding that a recent incident reported yesterday by the Athens News Agency. The Department of Antiquities of Cyprus announced that the Cyprus Museum recently acquired a unique clay idol from the 13th century, depicting a figure with a horse. The clay idol was smuggled from the Turkish-occupied area and appeared on the London market. The British Museum notified the Director of the Department of Antiquities of Cyprus, who purchased the idol for the Museum for 4,200 pounds, which were paid by the Cypriot Ambassador to UNESCO, Mr. K. Ledentis. Thus, the stolen idol returned to its homeland. ★ A TASTE OF VENICE: The legendary city of the Doges is presented with a different sensation, through the paintings of Theodoros Markellos, which are currently on display in the solo exhibition of the distinguished painter at the "Collection" art gallery (4 V. Sofias). "The works I present in this exhibition," he says in the catalog, "are a retrospective of the Venices I painted during three trips I made there over the years. It is a local study that, as always, I am accustomed to presenting in my exhibitions, trying to convey not only my emotions in this space, but also to make the visitors of my exhibitions travel emotionally with me to the places I depict... With my Venices, I try to interpret a unique space whose appearance, perceptibly, has repeatedly presented such thematic local studies by Markellos: Spain, Paris, Pelion, Nafplio, Islands. Markellos's exhibition at the "Collection" gallery will continue until next Saturday, December 15. ★ MY DEAR XANTHI, KEHRIBARENIYA: To be cleared...

Friday, May 24, 1957 AKROPOLIS TECHNOCRITICAL NOTES BRILLIANT PAINTINGS IN THE ZAPPEION EXHIBITION THOMPOULOS'S OUTDOORS - VIKATOS'S "CHESS" - A "NUDE" BY ARGYROS - GEORGIADIS'S PORTRAITS - LAZARIS'S LANDSCAPES BY OUR ART COLLABORATOR MR. MICHAEL H. KONSTANTOPOULOS I continue today my critical notes for the 5th Panhellenic. I will deal with the exhibits of the second hall (Painting), where most professors and older painters are exhibiting. * Professor Umberto Argyros of the Higher School of Fine Arts exhibits three brilliant works that bear the stamp of the vitality and full maturity of his art. "Morning Occupation" (no. 14) is a juicy half-nude of a young girl whose flesh pulses with youth. The color is extremely bright and the light is Greek. In "Elimanaki of Rhodes" (no. 15) the sea has the color of emerald and its liquid quality reveals drawing. * Spyros Vikatos, the magician of the Munich School, makes us long for the old good museum painting with his exceptional creation "Chess" (no. 35). This large oil painting constitutes a treasure of contemporary Neo-Hellenic painting in the field of crushing art. The "Fruits" (no. 36) stand out in chromatic quality, volume, and drawing. * T. Markellos is a young painter with rich talent and great aspirations. The works "Old Madrid" (no. 220) and "Fishermen in Madrid" (no. 221) have many advantages: particular atmosphere, chromatic boldness, spontaneity, and great skill in the fields of measured abstraction. Markellos's color, clean and juicy, gives liveliness to his subjects. * A. Ninos transports us to Paris (atmosphere and distinctive color) with his very good work "Rue Saint-Victor — Montmartre" (no. 226). * Penelope Oikonomidou is represented by the "Portrait" (no. 274), distinguished by chromatic elegance. The left hand is incorrectly drawn. * Othon Perelarakis holds the secrets of good painting. Higher chromatic perception and freedom in composition and drawing are the characteristics of this cultivated painter. ("From Psara", no. 300 and "Interior", 301). * Antonis Polykandriotis, our exceptional Mykonian painter, always progresses. His blossoming nature seeks new expressive means and the quality of his painting is maintained at high levels. In the "Café" (no. 307 and 308) the types of the cliffs are given characteristically with simplicity in drawing, but rich chromatic content, harmonized with the subject. The "Drawing Lesson" stands out for its bold chromatic nuances and originality in composition (no. 309). * Alla Florou-Polykandriotou stands worthy beside her husband.

ALEXANDROUPOLIS WEDNESDAY 30 MARCH 1977 "FREE THRACE" The Humanism of an Exhibition by FOIVOS MALAMAS EXHIBITIONS Alice Nicolaïdou The painting exhibition by the talented artist Alice Nicolaïdou, held at the Art Room (13 Mitropoleos Street, 3rd floor), is achieving particular success. The exhibition features 68 paintings that impress with their color combinations, the originality of their themes, and the artist’s style. Alice Nicolaïdou was born in Thessaloniki and studied for four years in the studio of painter Polykleitos Regos from 1966 to 1970. Her work includes charcoal drawing, pencil, ink, watercolor, oil painting, oil pastel, and tempera, depicting still life, models from life, as well as landscapes. Today, she is considered one of the most prominent figures in Thessaloniki’s visual arts scene. The exhibition will remain open until April 2, with hours from 5:00 PM to 8:30 PM. By Markellos The painting exhibition by the well-known painter Markellos, familiar from his previous shows in Thessaloniki, continues successfully at the "Kalles Technes" gallery (74 Mitropoleos Street). The painter studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts and received scholarships to study at the Schools of Fine Arts in Madrid and Paris. His works are held in the National Gallery, the Parliament, and various collections in Greece and abroad. The exhibition will last until March 25, with daily hours from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM and 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM, including Sundays. We discussed in a previous note titled "A Promising Sign for the Preserved Humanism in the Painters of the Artists' Exchange Association," who exhibited their works in our city from March 26 to April 3. Once again, walking through the exhibition space on its final day, we confirmed the inaccuracy of our initial observation. If you highlight Alice Ariloti, who excels in perfect blending, approaching Alfred Manesse in style, it would only strengthen our alienation from the space, unless our strong desire to communicate with us by conveying her harmony, which moved her in her connections, reduces the inherent generally in unbroken painting’s tendency to alienate us from the objects and forms of life. The other artists are clearly attached to the shapes of the latter as we see and feel them. Taking them one by one separately and analyzing their works, we could perhaps give their distinctive characteristics in a few broad strokes, aiming to conclude with a couple of words at the end.

NOON November 14, 1983 CULTURE “Mountain Landscape,” a work by Th. Markellos, from the exhibition “Mountain Greece.” New exhibitions in Athens galleries “MOUNTAIN GREECE” BY TH. MARKELOS AT THE HELLENO-AMERICAN ASSOCIATION, OLGA VALIAZA AT “HINIOCHOS,” CERAMICS BY EREI KYDONIATOU AT “YDROCHOOS,” ETC. The painter Theodoros Markellos, known from many of his exhibitions, including abroad, opens tonight at 7 p.m. in the art hall of the Hellenic-American Association (22 Massalias Street) his new painting exhibition titled “Mountain Greece.” The 51 works presented in the exhibition are inspired by various mountainous regions of our homeland, from Souli to Dimitsana and from Pilio to Kastania. Markellos, explaining the mechanism of his creation, notes that “the emotions that operated in this specific space — landscape, people, objects arranged in ‘still lifes’ — an effort was made to interpret and present them in a unity that creates a cohesive atmosphere.” The exhibition will run until December 9, from Monday to Friday, during the hours 10:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. and 6:00 - 9:30 p.m. Tonight at 7 p.m., the solo painting exhibition of Maria Simopoulou opens at the “Greek Center of Art and Culture” (44 Nikis Street - Syntagma). Maria’s exhibition will last until November 27, presenting approximately 50 works (portraits, compositions, neoclassical pieces, landscapes). To date, the painter has presented her work in Athens, at the Panhellenic exhibitions at Zappeion, and internationally in Monte Carlo, Biarritz, Paris, etc. Her works exhibit intense psychological depth and artistic maturity. In Pagkrati Ceramics by Erei Kydoniatou - Liosi. The operation of the dual exhibition “Contacts” at the “Speusippos” Art Hall is extended until November 21, following the success it achieved during the first two weeks. The exhibition presents works of sculpture, painting, and engraving by the following artists.

CRITIQUE OF PAINTING BY MR. STELIOS LYDAKIS The Meaning of Three Exhibitions YANNIS PSYCHOPAIDES, BEMBAS AGGELINOU, THEODOROS MARKELOS Yannis Psychopaides was born in Athens in 1945. He studied at the School of Fine Arts and received a scholarship to study in Munich. Since 1971, he has lived and exhibited his works. Fifty years ago (in 1925), the last Greek painter (Dimitris Dadis) of a huge group of Greeks (about 63) who had studied at the aforementioned School since 1840 was a student at the Munich School of Fine Arts. Since then, things have changed considerably: Paris gradually dominated the consciousness of Greek artists and became almost the definitive pole of attraction for younger generations. In Greece itself, the Munich School was discredited and considered—very unfairly—as a stigma for the academic spirit of the academic Greek painters. No one knew how things stood from a historical perspective, and no one wanted to know the truth. The Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements reinforced the prejudice that only France could truly be productive from an artistic standpoint for Greeks. Today, mainly through the German Scholarship Service, Greeks are once again found in Germany (Pailos, Akrivakis, etc.). Psychopaides in Munich cultivates the past with the present and engages with both. In the line of a group of realist-symbolists, he mobilizes resources for a critical approach to history and our history with quite interesting results. Preferring a fragmented correlation of elements on the pictorial surface, he deals with geographical situations and geography. What seems to fundamentally occupy the artist are the contradictions presented by the world and life. Specifically, he is interested in socio-cultural contradictions. Thus, he launches an attack against the grand models of the past, juxtaposing them with cold expressions of present-day life. He stands against a dramatized surface or against the grandiose schemes of the present, which are merely empty boasts. In a work, for example, titled "Tribute to Renoir," Psychopaides juxtaposes hedonism with the harshness of human reality: war, human misery. The goods of consumer society, on the other hand, are offered as symbols of emptiness and spiritual impoverishment. Certainly, here is the translation of the text into English: --- Certainly, the case of Psychopaidi is representative for an art that is not made for art's sake alone. Moreover, what is called modern art must be rethought: We have an artistic disposition that bypasses the expressive code of the past, adopting a new one. Essentially, it finds itself within the framework of repetition. Repetition is the most important element of this new expressive code. At the gallery 'Astor', Angelina Bembas presents her work. For those who know her earlier work, there is no impression of a transformation from a sweet impressionism to a strict geometric cubist style. The painter discovers the fluctuations of the stripes of the barren column and exploits them for some successful weavings, which are often disjointed and dead from a color perspective. Similarly, one should not overlook the good intention and quality of some pieces, which essentially get lost in the multitude of monotonous statements. At the Cultural Center of the Municipality of Athens, Theodoros Markellos exhibited about 70 works on the theme of Pelion. This painter, born in Athens in 1925 and studied at the School of Fine Arts, creates an intense planar impressionism quite suitable to convey the fresh and naked character of a landscape like Pelion. Graphic types of things from this barren place are assimilated, and an attempt is made to isolate the typical and the interesting. With bold brushstrokes, strong colors are scattered over the pictorial surface with the aim of enhancing the dimensional fall and making it the essence of expression. THE ISSUES OF ARCHAEOLOGISTS WILL BE RESOLVED SOON The Minister of Culture and Sciences, Mr. K. Trypanis, had a firm discussion with archaeologists in the amphitheater of the Archaeological Museum, where he listened to their problems and demands, characterizing them as justified and promising satisfaction. These demands are as follows: 1) To give them the possibility of a four-month stay in Athens, in order to obtain a doctoral degree. 2) To discuss local theories and special rights of monument guardianship. 3) To provide archaeologists with transportation to their places of work. New work from the theater Giannis Fertis Kalogeropoulou --- This translation preserves the original meaning while adapting it to natural English phrasing. At the Athens Theatre, director Yannis Ferti — Pezina Kalogeropoulou, this coming Saturday, in the afternoon and evening performances, at the premiere of the work "Police", invites the audience.

Founder: ANTONIOS LYGNOS Director: EMMAN. A. LYGNOS Thera News THERAN COUNCILORS The “Thera News” have no commitment, nor obligation to any of the candidate councilors who have been promoted during their twenty-year publication. They are still owed the expenses for publishing pre-election and post-election announcements and photographs. This applies to Councilor Mr. Emm. Batila, Deputy Minister Mr. M. Protopapadakis, Councilor Mr. Evagg. Anerousis, and all others without exception. The “Thera News,” out of patriotic duty alone, promoted the candidacy of Mr. Emm. Batila in the recent parliamentary elections. Whether he proves worthy of the trust of the majority of the Therians will be shown by his actions to resolve their problems and his general activity. This is to clarify certain fantasies and rumors. PROFESSIONALS The article titled: “Buses, taxis, restaurants” by Mr. Anargyros G. Platis, a judge in Athens and general secretary of the S.O.F.O., and the published responses of Mr. Palamas Mendrinou, president of the Commercial and Professional Association of Thera, and Messrs. Eleftherios Mendrinou, lawyer; Grigoris Dim. Koutsogiannopoulos, merchant and shipping agent; and Georgios Giannakoulia, former president of the E.P. Club of Thera, as well as an article in the December issue of the magazine “Naviki Ellas,” demonstrate that the conditions for serving visitors to Santorini are not what they should be. Once again, we repeat that the professionals of Thera must themselves improve these conditions for their own benefit, in order to stop both the complaints and the imposed sanctions. Taking over the management of the Th. N. again Taking over the management of the newspaper “Thera News” again, I do so to respond to the wishes of compatriots I respect and to state by name certain thoughts of mine regarding Thera affairs, taking responsibility for what I write, as I have done in the past. The reasoning of the exonerating work and the depositions of the witnesses for the defense and prosecution, except for one, in the well-known lawsuit against me, were undoubtedly a great moral satisfaction for me. I hope they will serve as a lesson to the main actors in this sad story and their accomplices. I had considered, in returning like for like, to remind them of all the things they EMM. A. LYGNOS LETTERS TO THE “THIRAICA NEA” BUILDERS AND I.K.A. Dear Editor, I had the opportunity to visit Santorini for my professional work. I admired the sights of your island and was particularly pleased that this area has a local press, the “Thiraica Nea,” which with special care highlights many of the local issues. I do not wish to address the problems of your region, which you know better anyway, but rather to ask you to publish my letter, which concerns solely one issue affecting the two hundred or more skilled construction workers who exist in the sector (this can be proven with data from Community Presidents or other competent authorities). You understand the injustice when a senior citizen aged 65 or even 85 is forced to work on construction sites because they have no other means to live, despite being eligible for a pension. Also, I inform you that this Law is valid until 27-6-78, so you must publish my letter so that interested parties can submit their construction documents in time. OUR GALLERY Markellos: From Santorini. This work belongs to the collections of the National Gallery. The well- known painter Markellos presents his new work with the general theme “From the Islands of the Aegean” at the “Zygos” gallery (Isafontos 33, on the straight line of the National Gallery, “Karavel” hotel), until February 20.

"Daily" 16-3-1975 From the movement of publications By Diana Antonakatu In the previous column, we approached the different attitudes of artists within the course of their creative evolution. And we cited recent examples of contrasting cases: those whose natural tendency toward detachment leads them to seek new forms, and those whose dependence on roots brings the same form to perfection. There is also a variation in artistic individuality. There are artists whose drive for renewal stems from the imperative of a gifted imagination. The engines of this imagination are set in motion by dual switches: both from the intellectual and from the emotional field of departure. From such an imagination arises our Surprise each time we see a presentation of the work of Celeste Polychroniadis. The painter herself does not transform. She matures, versatile in her skillful handling, subduing matter under her own expressive means. But her imagination is also versatile, possessing the ability to perform every kind of acrobatics among the most difficult and dangerous elements of a composition that it analyzes and recomposes. And it literally makes a "double" of the subject and reassembles it into a fantastic mechanical monster. Because the subject of this offering is the satanic form of our mechanical world. A form whose dissolution still composes a terrifying force. Where each of its elements, each of its molecules, holds the dangerous and indivisible power of the whole. It is an "untouchable" omnipotence, this edge, this peak of the human spirit. Polychroniadis, who has lived in America, has absorbed a rhythm—the pulse of our mechanical world—and lives in awe of this monstrous giant that is no longer tamed even by its creator, man. In her work, in each of her compositions, wonderful in their harmonious conception, there is no fear. There is perhaps a reverent awe, which becomes the driving inspiration for the painter, so different in its waves of emotion. The painter of the "Children of the Dwelling" (a moving documentary album), the painter of the "Flowers of Evil" by Baudelaire (images of despair for the poems). In the work she presents at New Forms, she is a poetess who hymns this projection of the human spirit onto a space of mathematical realizations. The themes The elements of the machines, taken from real machines of all kinds, are “reassembled” by Polychroniadou with a reconstruction of their functional meaning. In her works, the machine enters a metaphysical space of operation, moving beyond mere utility to a spiritual zenith of aesthetics and sufficiency, becoming a world—a universe. In a different universe, the young painter Efi Athanasiou, on the contrary, wants to move and transport us with her exhibition at the Hellenic-American Union. Athanasiou has graduated from the A.S.K.T. and has already published poetry collections. Her process of communication with contemporary life differs from that of Polychroniadou. Athanasiou is not interested in elevating earthly “doings” to the heavens. She wishes to elevate the human soul, freeing it from the burdens of the languages of her works—such as existence, homeland, language, roots, and contradictions—within an uncharted space. Athanasiou’s works aim to become the pulsating vibrations of her own liberation, which she feels as a victory and charts with tender and sweet colors, with relaxed, almost amorphous shapes that rhythmically structure the medium into a movement of free verse within a continuous space. In her compositions, the painter sets her own feeling of euphoria to music, wishing to share it with others. She writes in a kind of preface: “The sacred gift to art gives the consciousness of a morphological perception of space and time. It expresses the unity that always exists in the universe (the homeland of all) and which humanity must understand and pause directly in, if it wishes to avoid its material destruction and find its true destination, which is the path toward an attainable perfection…” In its purely painterly constitution, Athanasiou’s work advances as an Idea, without having achieved its plastic completion. There are foundational compositions that find justification in our identification with them. In others, she seeks a plastic language, a condensation, a deepening of the very handling of the painting.

THE WORLD OF EXHIBITIONS Landscape by Th. Markellos The painter Theodoros Markellos, born in 1925 and a graduate of the School of Fine Arts, is exhibiting at Gallery “Argyro”. This is a particularly interesting case, based on the possibilities of a “Cezannesque” expressionism of great expressive power. Markellos shapes his world through color (modulation), which is not only his primary tool but also his most essential expressive medium. And the human being, this world is abstract, active, more accurately in a continuous process of becoming. The contrasts of tones are intense, as is always the case with painting that does not seek to depict nature, but to interpret it. Work by Christina Zervou Thus, the image becomes subjective: it is the deeply personal experience of a sensitive individual who does not merely look to grasp what exists around him, but imbues it with his own touch. Certainly, over the years, Markellos has developed a marked ease in formulating his themes. Great comfort removes any sense of forced effort from his paintings. Nowhere does he “stumble”. Everything flows and is shaped with naturalness and persuasiveness. Only the expressively significant is retained, and for this reason detail is bypassed, while the abstract disposition ultimately weaves together a whole of color patches.

Among the best works of this artistic endeavor are "The Politeia," "Interior with Nude," "Industrial Landscape," "The Still Life," "The Archaeological Site," and "The Railway Station." Markellos works relentlessly, studies, creates, pro- It fits. He is the painter whose art never stops. A researcher and explorer, he aims to present something new in his painting, and he succeeds. GREEK IN ITALY: Following the success of his exhibition at the “Galleria Sagittario” in Milan, painter Th. Markellos now moves his solo show to the “Palazzo Vecchio” gallery in Florence. The opening will take place the day after tomorrow, March 8. From the coming Saturday until March 18, Evy Papapetropoulou and Maria Prousou will exhibit their works at the HEN Kifissia (4 Stefanou Delta Street, Kanari stop). The 8th concert of the State Orchestra of Thessaloniki will be held next Monday, under the direction of Sol. Michalidis, with pianist Eva Anastasiadou as soloist.

NIKOS GALAZIS The painter Markellos exhibits this week paintings from Mount Parnassus. The labor of a decade: From 1964 until today. Paintings in: dimensions 50x35, 65x50, 73x54, 81x 60, 92x60. It clarifies for the viewer the size and quality. His works, with interiority, depict the Parnassian landscapes. You perceive the artist's ability to integrate his material into the design. The wise choice of the view that sets up his canvas. The siege of time. His work loves the countryside. It appears from first hand. It transports you to the places he depicted with wild passion, the ruined roofs, the cobblestones. The wind that drags through the ravines and the houses. The squares with the plane trees and the oaks. His themes are selected. They bubble with feelings, loneliness, abandonment, joyful homeland, earthly paradise, revelry. You feel the rain, the cloud, the fog, the dusk, the sparkle, the presence of man, nowhere to be seen. The artist tries to give the atmosphere, the light, the weather changes. You have the impression that his fog is not static, but living and moving. The objects of his processing retain their deepest texture. They pass through the artist's soul, to be depicted on a wild scale of feeling and color. The painter, master of technique, shows himself lavish in cashing in his experiences and giving personal solutions. Therefore, his topography is thematic. It suggests psychological processes intertwined with dramatic collapses in a historical space dominated by a tropical scale - northern atmosphere. Impressive is his portraiture. His huge work is wisely placed in frames and secured with glass. Something that reminds us of oil paintings. Markellos managed to capture Parnassus, to transfer it to the large hall of the cultural center of the Municipality of Athens, and from there to enchant and captivate his viewers with his valuable contribution. Rarely does one enjoy such a creation. Markellos belongs to the promising painters of our generation, who renew our art. His presence will remain among the great names of the painting of our homeland. N.

"DAILY" 2-2-1982 exhibitions MARKELOS A very impressive artistic presence at the "ART GALLERY", located at 4 Vasilissis Sofias Avenue. The well-known painter MARKELOS is exhibiting his new contribution, with a series of fifty-three paintings, inspired by Rhodes, Kalymnos, Nisyros, Kos and Milos. In particular, the summer landscapes of Rhodes offer a vivid image of life, permeated by intense color, given by the golden light of the Aegean sun. With the experience and stability of his palette, the artist, through a harmonious and balanced combination of his mathematical drawing with color, has captured the charm, natural, historical and architectural, of many familiar spots of sunny Rhodes, from the old town to the new, touristy one. Interior and exterior landscapes of the beautiful island, coastlines, where the blue is emphasized in a positive harmony with the sunlight, and narrow streets and courtyards, with traditional facades and balconies, highlight the local color. All these picturesque elements, presented with a precise drawing, create a lyrical mood, a poetry that emerges from the calm colors and mathematically rendered light and shadow.

"IMERISIA", 2-2-1982 editions MARKELOS A very impressive artistic presence at the "AITHOUSA TECHNIS" gallery, located at 4 Vasileos Sofias Avenue. The well-known painter MARKELOS exhibits his new contribution, with a series of fifty-three paintings, inspired this time by Rhodes, Kalymnos, Nisyros, Kos and Milos. In particular, the summer landscapes of Rhodes offer a vivid image of life, enriched by intense colors, which give the golden light of the Aegean sun. With the experience and stability of his palette, the artist, with a harmonious inclination equivalent to the coincidence of his mathematical design with color, has captured the charm, natural, historical and architectural, of many of the familiar spots of sunny Rhodes, from the old town to the new, tourist one. Interior and exterior landscapes of the island, steep beaches, where the blue is emphasized in a positive harmony with the sunlight, and narrow streets and cobblestones, with traditional houses and balconies, emphasize the local color. All these picturesque elements, given with a design that is drawn with precision, create a lyrical mood, a poetry that emerges through the calm colors and the mathematically given light and shadow. Theodoros Markellos, with an active career of fifteen solo exhibitions and many other group ones, with paintings that today adorn galleries, ministries, embassies, banks, etc., private collections, both in our country and abroad, has to show a characteristic artistic modesty, without precedent. This modesty, this humanity, this inner beauty, he has transferred to all his creations. Each of his works offers a distinct emotion, a pulse that comes from the inner soul of the artist. In the "Kalymnian Monastery", how much poetry exists around it. The simple lyricism that the solitude of the space offers has been presented with simple hands by the painter, in a wonderful combination of colors, lighting and shadows. With this means, the artist managed to transform his subject into a dream, into a fairy tale, transferring in an essential way to the visitor the atmosphere of his works, which above all are distinguished by a clear elegance, a luster, a binding of light and color that overflows from the natural radiance and grace that he creates. One sees with what artistry and skill the artist penetrates every work, the natural light, creating a pictorial complex of our world. A chromatic troubadour, we might say, of the nature and life that surround him. The natural light shines, iridescent with natural colors. Each composition has a given structure, and the artist’s personality is evident. The personal style in the composition of each subject is clearly declared. Each painting transmits the painter’s emotion to the viewer. You see how the artist managed to transmute his subject into a dream, into a fairy tale, infusing his visitor with the atmosphere of his works in a substantial way; above all, what sets them apart is a clear freshness, a luster, a cohesion of light and color that overflows from the natural radiance and grace that he creates. It is clearly visible how much the artist is moved by the Greek light, how enchanted he is by the lyrical charms of the transparent sea that frames our islands. A juicy art that expresses the thoughts, impressions, and stimuli of the brilliant artist in an explosion of colors and lighting. His merits are undeniable. His confidence in the viewer is obvious. The contrasts of the colors impress through their harmony, in mathematically emphasized gradations of chromatic tone. He also sensually emphasizes his striking "nakedness." The juices of life, the lines, are emphasized with precision. They are undeniable. A work that captivates the eye, impresses with its grace and natural harmony, in a lyrical interplay of matter and realism that surprises with its clarity and vivid presentation.

They do not stand still merely because millions of people know and visit Greece for and because of its artworks. One cannot feel that only art is truth and impervious to time, while everything else is at least useful and transient because the other things flee or EVOLUTION, surpasses and destroys them. The visitors think that it is easier for us to divide them into pairs rather than classes. Divide into three. First: Consists of the only visitors of masterpieces. Artistic and stabilizing. A common characteristic is the vanity of social appearance and worldly information. They chat and gossip among themselves with their backs to the works, thus blocking those who want to see them. Second: People with a total family income above 15,000 monthly family

T. Markellos 1) If we put in parentheses all those who benefit from the various bad-taste shops - galleries... which unfortunately are not few in our place, the rest of the people buy from artists, and the majority prefer works based on post-impressionist styles up to modern post-impressionism. Of course, there are also many exceptions. 2) Greek painters, naturally, have many difficulties with this issue. To make an individual exhibition is a major problem. Expenses are high and galleries are few and often unsuitable. Painters generally in our place avoid offering their works for sale in shops that sell works because usually these do not maintain any quality. Naturally, many times other forms are missing from art lovers, and other times again the merchants have made so many expenses to buy houses, land, cars, etc., that the entire economy must be sacrificed for the purchase of works (paintings). 3) The young have always been and are the hope for something better, and we older ones look to them with good will. 4) Because among the 2.5 million inhabitants of Athens, perhaps 4,000 — 5,000 will be interested in art. In the provinces, naturally, neither the corresponding public exists, nor the possibility of selling works. With this observation, I do not reject exhibitions in the provinces; on the contrary, we have undertaken to help bring these people into contact with art, and perhaps we can show them that there is also the realm of aesthetic enjoyment. However, the organization of such exhibitions should be undertaken by the state. 5) Artworks always had some value... Prices, apart from some exceptions that will always exist, are not high. If we consider the past, we will see that they are rather generally low. When an art lover has very little money, they can buy from a good painter a drawing, a watercolor, or a small oil painting, which are also artworks and have the same artistic value as the other works. 6) Neither the value of the painter nor that of the work is diminished, but I believe that the painter must have responsibility regarding the price of their work. 7) I think that all Mayors, Prefects, etc., would donate a lot, and there would not be a serious economic issue. 8) Naturally, only with state exhibitions can the province come into contact with the painting art; works of quality from all trends should be selected, during the process, simply put. Works should be purchased from those exhibited by the state and these works should be placed in public buildings: Town Halls — Schools — Banks, etc., of the area where the exhibition took place. 9) The complete indifference of the public towards art is justified by some exceptions; among these exceptions, unfortunately, we can never include the state. In all trends of humanity, there are individuals who show interest in art and especially in painting exhibitions. The fact that they do not flood the exhibitions like football matches is something very natural; those with spiritual and aesthetic interests have always been the fewest.

NEW YEAR'S GAZETTE - 4 - April 22, 1969 AFTER THE CONGRESS OF THE PAN-Hellenic UNION OF FARMERS Why the small farmer is facing increasingly greater difficulties High rate of literacy and semi-literacy Drop in agricultural product prices and rise in machinery prices The Central Statistical Service, six months ago, found that of the 4,334,000 workers in agriculture, 312,000 people are literate; that in agriculture there are 1,578,000 people without a school certificate, which means 36.40% of all workers, that of all literate people working in Italy, 69.17% belong to agriculture, that more than a third of workers in agriculture do not have a school certificate, which means 43.6% of all workers in agriculture in Italy. At the third congress of the Pan-Hellenic Union of Farmers, which represents in Italy approximately 500,000 workers in agriculture, the great crisis that has struck all agricultural sectors was expressed. In the main report of the union's vice-president, deputy E- sposta, and in the extensive discussion, figures and conditions were presented under which Italian farmers live today. The greatest burden of the crisis in agriculture is represented by the great delay in the educational and social sector of southern Italy. Therefore, it should not surprise us that at the congress the largest discussion was about the rural population of the south, where in many areas feudal conditions still prevail. The second issue hindering the development of agriculture is the monopolistic control of large landowners and large companies in the market and sale of agricultural products, in the production, sale and distribution of agricultural machinery, artificial fertilizers, etc. The third cause of the crisis in agriculture is the rules of the European Economic Community, which aim to allow during the restructuring and upgrading of agriculture mainly the development of large estates. Last year, the quantity of sales of products and animals decreased by 2.7%. The total value of real value dropped from 5,659.9 to 5,427.3 billion lire, or by 4.1%. At the same time, prices for purchasing machinery and fertilizers increased, meaning that the value of sold products and adjusted animals was 4.5% less than the previous year. The share of agricultural income in the total Pan-Hellenic income last year, compared to the previous year, dropped from 15.3% to 13.8%. This led to 309,000 people leaving agriculture. SLAVKO STOKA Proteins as a petroleum substitute GENEVA, 21. — Soon, global protein consumption will reach 40 million tons annually, and before the end of this century, consumption will rise to 60 million tons. This is stated by the World Health Organization, which strives to support every initiative aimed at finding new ways to obtain new foods, whether through the exploitation of agricultural lands on land or at sea. AT THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE SLOVENIAN SCHOOL UNION Demands and problems of primary school staff As we have already mentioned, on Friday evening in the small hall of the Cultural Center, the thirteenth general assembly of the Slovenian School Union was completed, where reports on the work carried out were presented and a new board of directors was elected. Among the reports presented were the report of the deputy secondary school representative, the report of the deputy pedagogical unit representative, and the report of the deputy for primary schools Z. Dobrile, who mainly said the following: In the previous economic period, our activity was very dynamic and the board had its hands fully occupied. Unfortunately, our efforts did not yield enough results, however, many problems concerning the staff of primary schools have been raised, and we hope that they will be resolved positively in the near future. I will detail the main problems concerning the staff of primary schools, which the board has fought for: 1. To legislate the positions of 5 teaching directorates for primary schools with Slovenian as the language of instruction and to publish a special competition to fill these positions. 2. To legislate the position of the existing school inspector for primary schools and to publish a competition to fill this position. 3. To publish the first regular teacher competition for permanent positions in primary schools, as in these schools today there are 11 vacant positions in the regular number and 10 positions in the excess number. 4. To recognize the retroactive legal and economic permanent position from October 1, 1962, for all those teachers who became permanent after a special competition, as provided for in Article 12 of Law 1012 of July 19, 1961. 5. The injustice towards teachers, who until September 30, 1954, held a special financial status but were stripped of it by the Italian administration, must be corrected. 6. Permanent legal status must be recognized from the year 1948 for all those teachers who acquired permanent positions in accordance with Law 248 of March 13, 1958. 7. When calculating pensionable service, teachers must be credited with all years of service in Yugoslavia prior to 1945 and in the former Zone B until October 4, 1954. 8. Retroactive permanent status must be recognized for all those teachers who were serving in schools with Slovenian as the language of instruction in Trieste on October 4, 1954, provided they have not been transferred. The union has exerted all its efforts and has engaged all political parties, educational organizations, Slovenian newspapers, and other representatives to take decisive action against this injustice. The situation was so intense that the Slovenian members of the provincial school council submitted their resignations. The school inspector recently made a partial correction of this injustice by appointing a representative of the school authorities to the provincial council. FROM THE ART GALLERIES Prampolini and Ballo at the “La Lanterna” gallery With the exhibition of works by Giacomo Balla, co-founder of Futurism, and his successor Enrico Prampolini at the Lanterna gallery, the echo of the commemorative exhibitions that began in Paris for the 50th anniversary of the Futurists’ first Parisian appearance has reached us as well. Giacomo Balla is presented to us with works from his family heritage, created between 1915 and 1922—that is, not from the “hot” five years before the world war, when the five painters, Boccioni, Carrà, Russolo, Balla, and Severini, unsettled half of Europe. In total, we see here only 13 smaller paintings, oils, collages, and drawings, and three murals. However, only the oils “Čoko.ada,” with harmonious brown-green shades, and the painting with contrasting color transitions “Space of Lines plus Light” are fully completed. In the remaining works, we sense the pursuit of the goals that the Futurists had set in their own manifesto, but which were not always achieved. Nevertheless, these drawings by Balla, perhaps precisely due to their simplicity, are historically significant for researchers of Futurism in its early developmental period. From this period, among the exhibited works of Enrico Prampolini, there are only two drawings that do not fully fit into them. Most likely due to this slow defining process, the Futurist impulse of this painter was so strong and long-lasting that it survived Neoclassicism. Thus, the best paintings of this exhibition are "Cosmic Topography" and "Simultaneous Existence of Space and Time" with material collages from the year 1935, when Neoclassicism reached its peak. Unfortunately, all the remaining oils by Prampolini from the years 1945 to 1959, when his combative spirit faded. Therefore, these works are dominated by calmer scenes and landscapes featuring the islands of Idra, Kaumnos, and Mikonos. They are filled with blinding sunlight that swallows almost all shadows, and their colorfulness appears almost nonexistent compared to the paintings of the shadowy squares of Milan, the bridges of Paris, and the canals of Amsterdam, but pleasantly surprises connoisseurs of the European South. However, Theodor Marketlos is a multifaceted observer of the reality of life's left sides, presenting us with successful paintings of flowers and the harmony of the female body, which live and breathe convincingly in the two-dimensional reality of the visual arts world. MILKO BAMBIC The Greek Markellos exhibits at Russo Although there is a prosperous Greek community in Trieste, consisting of a wealthier urban element, exhibitions of Greek painters are truly rare. The Russo Gallery, which has already presented various painters from Central Europe and the Balkans, now introduces us to the Greek painter Theodor Markellos. He became known in Italy as early as 1953 with an award for ex tempore painting in Mugello and with exhibitions in Florence and Milan. As a scholarship holder, he improved his skills in Madrid and Paris and has participated seven times in exhibitions of Greek painting in Athens, Paris, and Vienna. He is therefore very active, having also received an award at an international exhibition in Moscow in 1937. This already indicates his strong presence. Markellos’s expression, although influenced by the Parisian school, reaches a sufficiently independent level, especially in his oil paintings of Greek landscapes, which he presents with minimal alteration of the forms of the sunlit, clear nature and the pure marine depth. For this style of painting, the most characteristic oils are the broad views of settlements and landscapes with the islands of Idra, Kaumnos, and Mikonos. They are filled with blinding sunlight, which swallows almost all shadows, and their colorfulness appears almost nonexistent compared to the paintings of the shadowy squares of Milan, the bridges of Paris, and the canals of Amsterdam, but pleasantly surprises connoisseurs of the European South. Robert Faganel has exhibited in Rome A few days ago, the exhibition organized by the Triestine painter Robert Faganel at the art gallery “La Fontanella” in Rome concluded. This was the 245th consecutive exhibition at this gallery. Robert Faganel exhibited about thirty of his oil paintings, of which approximately one-third featured African themes. The Triestine painter was on a long trip to the African continent last year, following roughly the routes that the writer Hemingway had taken long ago. Yunkoglavika

GREECE Greek Painters Over the last two years, cultural relations between Greece and Spain have intensified. The flourishing Spanish Society for Classical Studies, along with the interest shown by the General Directorate of Cultural Relations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and particularly that of the Ministry of National Education, have taken fundamental steps toward this closeness. From the Spanish side, there is a genuine need for the training of archaeologists, philologists, and historians; from the Greek side, the interest is twofold: for artistic and historical formation, as well as for the instrumental value of the Spanish language in trade with Hispanic America. The recent visit of some key members of the Spanish Society for Classical Studies to Greece enabled the contact that facilitated the final planning of the Spanish Institute in Athens. Among other things, we must highlight the presence in Spain of three Greek artists, scholars of the General Directorate of Cultural Relations, who this past June presented their most recent creations at an exhibition held at the Toisón Hall in Madrid. These artists are Theodoros Markellos, Dimitrios Papageorgiou, and Dimitrios Perdikidis, young painters who have been in Spain for one year, and the latter for two. This experience, which brought three artists with exclusively patriotic training into contact with the environment, landscape, and museums of Spain, is noteworthy. Greek art, in all its periods, has always been characterized by balance, seeking to express the innermost through a harmonious whole, something that certainly cannot be considered a fixed characteristic of Spanish art, where the impulsive tends to dominate. Perhaps for this very reason, Velázquez, and from another perspective, Goya and Solana, are the painters who most attracted these young Greek artists. Theodoros Markellos, born in Athens in 1925, had already made his appearance at the National Exhibition of Greece around 1952, a selective exhibition that highlights new values in the homeland. His reputation was confirmed at the Exhibition of Greek Marine Painters, also in Athens. At the Madrid exhibition, he presented approximately twenty works, all landscapes. His most general characteristic could be described as intense impressionism, a luminous painterly style, but all experienced personally. The identification of truth and nature, a perception derived from ancient Greek philosophy, exists in him as a general premise leading to—let us allow the phrase—more painting of the heart than of the mind. A lived art, deeply optimistic, as a reaction to the sorrow of life, a luminous art that revitalizes everything the artist creates. The painting

The works displayed there were created by one hundred and thirty children aged 5 to 15. This beautiful initiative is due to the Children’s Recreation Club and the Ladies’ Committee, who jointly organized this children’s drawing exhibition, in which hundreds of children from Greek and American schools participated. The children’s works, which had the theme of the supersonic “Olympia,” were selected by a jury of art critics and artists consisting of Messrs. Prokopios, Yiannis Mesalis, Spiteris, Eleni Theohari, Eleni Bakaló, and An. Stavrianou-Xanthou. The exhibition will also feature works on the “Olympia,” where they have achieved success. — The young painter Dous Yatzoulou studied art in Paris after completing her basic secondary education, where she systematically followed the new currents in the Visual Arts and became deeply familiar with their achievements. In the French capital, she participated in several group exhibitions and presented works alongside artists of international renown, which were deemed highly valuable. Two of her paintings were praised and characterized by the Turks as very successful. — Next Sunday is the last day for those wishing to apply for the engraving scholarship at the School of Fine Arts to submit their applications. Subsequently, the Association of Professors of the School of Fine Arts, after examining the credentials and qualifications of the candidates to ensure they meet the requirements of the announcement, will convene on the following or the Sunday after next to announce the selected candidates. — During these days, taking advantage of the holidays, the well-known painter from Thessaloniki, Mr. Pol., passed through the capital.

Looking back at the "Venices" of three travelers, the painter Theodoros Markellos presented his last exhibition at "Sylogi" (November 29 – December 22, 1979), featuring 47 oil paintings of medium and artistic size. As he himself wrote, with our presentation of the theme "Venices," he wished to emotionally transport the visitor to one of the places of his artistic inspirations. Indeed, the receptive viewer of these paintings began with pleasure to immerse themselves in old houses, canals, and palaces, which, depending on the hour, time, and moment, possess a distinct character. Italy is given as a Venice of many illuminations that terminate seasonality, while each painting, isolated with its own atmosphere, has its own ambiance. The graphic physical existence and the artist did not succumb to the printed poeticism for which the subject is so well-suited. In his paintings, he mostly tries to capture incidents and reveal the nature hidden in the old buildings, the waters, and the air. Dwellings of the wealthy, mansions, water roads with boats and gondolas, with a cat that does not appear much in the paintings but is there, wanting or having, representation from the environment, hold in every molecule the breath of people and the secret pulses of events and images of the past. The artist feels the ray of all these old things and their rendering. The gate of an old house or its balcony, the street of a neighborhood with its ancient doors, a sunset or an evening somewhere, stir the emotion and ignite it as the creation of a spark or illumination. The style of these paintings is more or less free brushwork. The colors and shades—khaki, brown, yellow, dark, chestnut, or cyan-blue, olive—create a dual effect, either more vivid or more muted, depending on the subject. I mention a few works as representative: “Sunset.” Amid the ambiguity of a shadowy connection, from the left, khaki is emphasized, along with houses and a gondola. “Palazzo (mansion) on a street.” In the brownish tones that predominate, the building, in red and white hues, lives with drama. “Sunset in Murano.” Houses, canals. “Palazzo.” Characteristic with the kinetic energy of the four lower arches and the two upper ones on the grilled balcony that spans the entire frame of the drama. Winter on the Grand Canal. Cyan domes, reflections in the water for the gondolas. A modest neighborhood. From both sides of the canal, with its dragons, a three-story house, with some figure in a side street, a tree, and dark doors near the steps leading to the canal. Opposite, two- or three-story buildings, brownish, yellowish, with attics and chimneys. At the Venetian Exhibition of the A.N.E.M., he also placed three large older oil paintings of his, which, in some way, despite their absolute self-sufficiency, decorate the pictorial landscape of the hall. One is a self-portrait of the artist, with a palette, whose appearance harmonizes with the surroundings, Belgian. The other, “Venetian Palazzo,” depicts one of the aristocratic or wealthy houses; the tall old man reminisces about his life and those he loved. He wears a rich brown coat, something khaki underneath, and his white mustaches extend from both sides of his face. One hand rests behind him on the back of the chair, and in his furrowed expression with half-closed eyes, it seems as if the years of Venice have gathered there. The third oil painting, of a young woman, is a magnificent nude, a work from the artist’s stay in Spain. The young woman has her hands behind her back and her torso lightly nude to the right, with eyes that seem slightly downcast beneath her somewhat disheveled hair, which falls from both sides, with their parting barely visible on the left. She wears a gold bracelet on her arm, and her own body is tinged with rose—having reddish hues that give it greater vitality. One of the daughters of Cordoba or Seville, with Andalusian blood. EPAM.

THE RESEARCH Trikala G. I. PAPASTHERIOU 4-12-1976 CRITICAL NOTE “MARKELOS” An important painter of the era EXHIBITION FROM THE PILLIO BY K. NIKOS GALAZIS The painter Markellos exhibited seventy canvases from Mount Pilio. The labor of a decade. From 1964 to the present. Canvases in dimensions 50x35, 65x50, 73x54, 81x60, 92x60. He challenges the viewer with their size and quality. His works depict the Pilio landscapes with serenity. You perceive the artist’s ability to intensify his material within the composition. The wise selection of the viewpoint that supports his structure. The siege of time. His work breathes countryside. It appears firsthand. It transports you to the places he depicted with their organic vegetation, the tiled roofs, the cobblestones. The dust that drifts through the ravines and houses. The squares with the plane trees and the cypresses. His themes are melancholic. They evoke feelings of loneliness, abandonment, a cheerful corner, an island paradise, neglect. He captures the evening, the twilight, the fog, the dusk, the sunlight, the presence of man, without him appearing anywhere. The artist strives to convey the atmosphere, the light, the play of weather. He has the conviction that his fog is not static, but living and moving. The objects of his processing retain their deepest texture. They pass through the artist’s soul to be imprinted on an organic scale of sensation and color. Masterful in the perfection of technique, the painter shows himself lavish in spending his experiences and offering personal solutions. Thus, his topography is thematic. It suggests psychological processes intertwined with formative influences in a historical space dominated by a scale of tropical warmth and northern atmosphere. His portraiture is impressive. His vast body of work is securely placed in frames and protected with glass. A fact that indicates oil paintings. Markellos managed to alchemize Mount Pilio, to transfer it to the great hall of the spiritual center of the Municipality of Athens, and from there to enchant and alchemize his viewers with his valuable contribution. Rarely does one enjoy such a creation. Markellos belongs to the promising painters of our era, who renew our art. His presence will remain among the great names of the painting of our homeland. N.

(Private agency) — In the latest issue of the Italian magazine "Biennale", the official organ of the Biennale of Venice, a special study by Mr. Tonia Spetsios titled "Contemporary Greek Painters" is published. The study includes a broad overview of the entire artistic development of contemporary participants in our country, their main representatives, and the causes that triggered it. It also provides factual data on Greek painters living and working in Italy and the course of their work. The text includes thirteen black-and-white images (A. Arlioti, K. Bekis, Al. Kontopoulos, Vl. Kaniaris, A. Provelengios, G. Svoronos, T. Mardas, D. Perdikidis, St. Stanatopoulos, G. Kardamatis, K. Tsoklis, G. Gaitis, N. Kessanlis) as well as two color images (G. Styropoulos, M. Prassinos). WORK BY A GREEK PAINTER AWARDED IN ITALY A work by the Greek painter Theodoros Markellos was awarded at the State Italian Exhibition held for the "Premio Mitaillo" prize. In the exhibition, which featured more than 150 Italian painters representing various trends and technical approaches, Markellos presented his work following an invitation from the Organizing Committee. Meanwhile, the Greek artist, who has been in Italy for some time, is preparing his solo exhibition, which will open shortly in Florence.

VISUAL ARTS "ELEFTHEROS KOSMOS" 9-2-1972 The Parisian Landscapes of Th. Markellos AT THE EXHIBITION OF "PARNASSOS" The painter Theodoros Markellos offers a heartfelt dedication, imbued with moving sentiment, to the Paris of his artistic studies with his second solo exhibition in the large hall of "Parnassos" in Athens. Under the auspices of the Hellenic-French Association, he presents approximately one hundred of his oil paintings, most of which depict views of various spots in the French capital. Markellos renders the Parisian landscapes with post-impressionist stylistic concerns, shaped according to the teachings of the training he received at various art schools in Madrid (1954 - 1956) and Paris (1960 - 1962) on scholarships awarded after he received his diploma from the Athens School of Fine Arts in 1952 with five honors. Markellos' participation in group exhibitions began with the Panhellenic Exhibition of 1952 and continued in other exhibitions in Athens, Madrid, the "Olympia" in Paris, Moscow, Florence, Rome, Milan, Vienna, and Bucharest, while his previous seven solo exhibitions took place in Madrid (1956), Athens (1958, 1967), Florence, Milan, Trieste, and at the "Jefferson" University in Philadelphia. Painting exclusively Paris, Markellos captures the characteristics of the natural and emotional atmosphere of the French capital with such adaptation of his style to his defined subject matter that the impression is given that the paintings in this "Parnassos" exhibition were created by a French or internationalist painter entirely outside the Greek art tradition and unrelated to the mindset and spiritual world of the Greeks. With masterful expressive skill and other significant innate painterly virtues, Markellos—as seen in the exhibits at "Parnassos"—has directed the main interest of his art toward the creation of works of higher quality, with a lyrical tone of romantic disposition, which prevails with stronger pulse and greater chromatic harmony and subtlety in his compositions featuring "still life" themes.

Thursday, February 27, 1958 AKROPOLIS TECHNICAL CRITICAL NOTES THE EXHIBITION OF TH. MARKELOS BY OUR COLLEAGUE MR. M. H. KONSTANTOPOULOS In the large hall of “Parnassos”, under the high patronage of the Spanish Ambassador Juan Felipe de Ranero, the new painter Th. Markellos exhibited 103 of his works (oils), inspired by Spain, Paris, and Greece. He exhibits with astonishment three copies of works by Greco, Velazquez, and Goya, which he executed in museums of Spain. Markellos was born in 1925 in Lothina and in 1948 entered the Higher School of Fine Arts, where he studied under the instruction of Georgiadis and Kefallinos. In 1952 he received his diplomas with three honorary distinctions. He participated in the exhibition of Greek marine painters and the Panhellenic Exhibition. In 1954 he moved to Spain on a scholarship from the Spanish state and attended the Higher School of San Fernando with professors Don Francisco Soria Ayeto and Don Carlos Saenz de Tejada. The Spanish press has been enthusiastic with comments on the work of the Greek painter. The works from Madrid and Segovia give us impressions of real Spain, and indeed the Spanish critic wrote that the Greek artist has impressed and interpreted the country better than many Spanish masters of painting. “The Road” (no. 1) has movement and color or simply “Spain” (no. 6) with Don Quixote and Sancho Panza is 100% Spain. “The Garden” (no. 16) is a joy to the eyes in chromatic harmony. “After Rain” (no. 21) is permeated with a wet quality. His impressions from bullfights are characteristic. I also note “Old Neighborhood” (no. 23), “Castile” (no. 31), where exhibitions are held. Near the trains (Madrid) (Oil) by the painter Th. Markellos. In Spain he studied the great artists in the museums and repeatedly exhibited in Spanish salons. Afterwards he continued his artistic studies in Paris. In 1951 he took part in the Panhellenic Exhibition and the exhibition of the transatlantic “Olympia” as well as in the world exhibition in Moscow, where he was praised. The art critic Figuerola Ferreri considers Markellos an undisputed master of luminous painting, which reaches the highest peak in chromatic explosion and dynamism. The art critic Antonio Campos wrote that “Markellos is a brilliant colorist with a bold palette.” Finally, the art critic Mariano Thomas wrote that the Greek painter “embraced the Spanish landscape with more warmth than some masters of Spanish painting.” All these laudatory critiques of Markellos’s work are well-founded. The Greek painter, imbued with Greek light and with solid foundations from Georgiadis’s teaching, managed to capture the power and distinctive character of the Spanish landscape bathed in the Mediterranean sun. The entire fervor of the Spanish race is reflected in Markellos’s themes from Spain. No Greek painter has penetrated the soul of the Spanish landscape and Spanish life as deeply as Markellos, who sings it in all tones in his feverish painting. Even in his copies, such as “After Rain with Downpour” (no. 34) — an artistic and powerful work —, “After Rain at the Lake” (no. 37), “Madrid” (no. 42), 44, 45, 46 “Road” (from the Moscow International Exhibition), the robust in execution and conception “Cathedral in Castile,” 48, 53, 54, 58. His pieces depicting stations and trains convey with vigor the movement and atmosphere of departure (nos. 20, 63). The work “Without Clouds” stands out for its chromatic boldness and strength. More free is the piece “Plate in the Sun” (no. 65). Among his Parisian works and landscapes, which have a different light and atmosphere, I note no. 73 (Towards Notre Dame) and “Industrial Area” (no. 75). The baptisteries and ports of Genoa are structured works (nos. 80, 81). Finally, in the Greek landscape, Markellos gave its distinctive form, framed by geometric light, austerity, elegance, and finesse. I single out the works nos. 83 (Kifissia), 87, 89, 93, 96 (Piraeus), 97, 99, 100, 101 (“From the Port”). The exhibition of Th. Markellos stands at a very high artistic level, and his brilliant work is the result of study, struggle, and practice, which are framed and kneaded within his strong talent. The people and the boldness of the young painter will lead him

THE ARTISTIC MOVEMENT 25-2-1958 “Area of construction sites”: Oil painting by Th. Markellos. Exhibited in the large hall of “Parasasou”. THE PAINTING EXHIBITIONS (BY K. THEOD. MARKELOS) In the large hall of “Parasasou”, the young painter Theod. Markellos is exhibited, a student of Georgiadis and Kefallinos, and later a traveling painter in Istanbul and Greece, with themes from the School and the Hippodrome of Madrid, Senchidia, the leading French and Greek schools. He also exhibits outstanding copies by Gonia Velaskoub and Dominico Thestokopoulo (Greco), the artist ESTELES, the aforementioned works in Mosacha of Istanbul, where he is evaluated, and managed to get very close to the landscapes. With conscious effort towards the past to complete their history, it is not easy at all. With success, one Gonia, one Velaskoub, one Thestokopoulo. Markellos, when he was studying at the School, received 5 awards. Earlier, he successfully exhibited at the two Panhellenic salons in Istanbul, where the Istanbul critics made oriented judgments about his feverish and bold work, and in the international exhibition in Moscow, he was praised. Markellos easily adapts to any climate and his talent, with the sensitivity of his great feeling and great sensitivity, paints Istanbul, differently Paris, and in another way Greece. His works do not resemble each other. His dynamic expressions are different, depending on the theme and the climate he portrays and interprets. In the Greek landscape, he wonderfully rendered the geometric light, the elegance and Latoptita Hyramiki, the nature of No. 83 (“Christia”), 87, 89 (“Attiki”), 91 (dogs in the courtyard), 93 (“Kastella”), 96 (“Apinia”), 99 (“Piraeus”), 110, 101 (“Chlimon”). Markellos is a young brilliant painter with a solid and dynamic work. His brilliant contribution promises more laurels for the future. M. H. KONSTANTOPOULOU

Yesterday, a new art gallery opened at 33 Nikis Street. It is called “Orizon” and promises to present significant exhibitions. The first one, by Theodoros Markellos, which was inaugurated yesterday, shows that the new gallery will keep its promises. Theodoros Markellos is a truly remarkable painter. After studying at the School of Fine Arts in Athens, he continued his studies with a scholarship in Madrid and Paris. His works have been presented in many exhibitions abroad. We had not seen his work here for a long time. And we awaited his exhibition with particular interest. Thus, we admired the industrial areas, the railway lines, the interiors of houses, and the night scenes of cities that form the subjects of his works. Compositions on a large scale where one can detect melancholy, depression. Compositions of quality where distracting elements are linked with abstract ones.

THEODOROS MARKELOS "Risking the Actual II 21-3-1992 He lets the painting "speak" Gallery "Argo" Theodoros Markellos has been devoted exclusively to art for approximately half a century. His entire life, his very sense of existence, is intertwined with his painting. To master the technical secrets of the grammar of visual language, after receiving his diploma from the Athens School of Fine Arts (ASKT), he continued his studies on a Spanish state scholarship in Madrid. In Spain, Markellos studied and copied the brightest stars of the visual sky (Velázquez, Goya, etc.). With another scholarship, this time from the University of Athens, he continued his studies in Paris and graduated again. This meticulous and long-standing visual education of Markellos gave him the ability to navigate comfortably the technical and constructive problems of visual creation. Having thus adequately mastered the formal and plastic elements of painting, how did Markellos use them to articulate his own voice? Although he saw and learned much in the West, he remained faithful and inseparable from the visual tradition of our land. Markellos is rooted in the geographical particularity of Greece. He accepted the objectivity of the world and tried, through his drawing, to reveal the rhythm of the landscape, and through light, its harmony. Markellos did not wander in the misty West, in the indissoluble and dark realms of distant Thule. He did not worship imported chthonic gods of our time. He remained steadfast in the vividness and purity of soul and spirit. An ideal lover of the radiant Greek nature. And as confirmed in his new exhibition, his painting contains no trace of imports. Thematically, he engaged with all painting genres: portraits, landscapes, still-life compositions. I remember from an earlier exhibition in 1967 those unique compositions of his, themed around railway stations. It is curious how he managed to make machines and people appear to move, as if traveling, while standing still at the station. His portraits are so characteristic that they remind one of the classical masters of the past. And then his landscapes, with their crystalline clarity and chromatic melodiousness, which are not ostentatiously displayed; the depicted subjects do not strive to impress or sweep the viewer away. They seek silent communication with the viewer, to awaken from the depths some distant memories. To let the painting speak for itself, to narrate its story, which may be full of poetry or nostalgia for the past. This is perhaps what Markellos aims for with his topographical works: to awaken our own souls, so that we may see within the visible world how there can exist states that offer hope and dreams for tomorrow. Following this difficult penetration of painting creation, Markellos did not resort to the ease of free representation. He remains unshakable in his own vision, the acceptance of existing reality, and seeks from within it to emerge the tomorrow. Review: Nikos ALEXIOU

GREECE Greek Painters Over the last two years, cultural relations between Greece and Spain have begun to intensify. The flourishing Spanish Society for Classical Studies, along with the interest shown by the General Directorate of Cultural Relations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and particularly by the Ministry of National Education, have taken fundamental steps in this direction. From the Spanish side, there is a genuine need for the training of archaeologists, philologists, and historians; from the Greek side, the interest is twofold, encompassing both artistic and historical formation, as well as the instrumental value of the Spanish language for trade with Hispanic America. The recent visit of some key members of the Spanish Society for Classical Studies to Greece facilitated the contact that enabled the final planning of the Spanish Institute in Athens. Meanwhile, we must highlight the presence in Spain of three Greek artists, supported by the General Directorate of Cultural Relations, who presented their most recent works this past June in an exhibition held at the Toisón gallery in Madrid. These artists are Theodoros Markellos, Dimitrios Papageorgiou, and Dimitrios Perdikidis, young painters who have been in Spain for one year, with the latter having been there for two. This experience is interesting, as it brought three artists with exclusively national training into contact with the environment, landscape, and museums of Spain. Greek art, across all its periods, has always been characterized by balance, seeking to express the inner self through a harmonious whole—a trait that certainly cannot be considered a defining feature of Spanish art, where the impulsive tends to dominate. Perhaps for this very reason, Velázquez, and from another perspective, Goya and Solana, are the painters who have most attracted these young Greek artists. Theodoros Markellos, born in Athens in 1925, had already made his appearance at the National Exhibition of Greece around 1952, a selective exhibition highlighting new values in the homeland. His reputation was confirmed at the Exhibition of Greek Painters of the Sea, also in Athens. At the Madrid exhibition, he presented about twenty works, all landscapes. The most general characteristic could be described as an intense impressionism, a luminous painting style, but all this is experienced personally. The identification of truth and nature, a perception stemming from ancient Greek philosophy, exists in him as a general premise leading to a painting, if the phrase is allowed, more of the heart than of the mind. A lived art, deeply optimistic, as a reaction to the sorrow of life, a luminous art that revitalizes everything the artist creates. The painting

262 DAWN The very contemporary does not interest him at all, as he lives with the conviction that it is a passing fashion. For this reason, he has studied the technique of Spanish painting, that of Velázquez, which always constitutes an invaluable school. He wants to combine the color palette of Impressionism with the technique of Classicism, all of which is embodied in a dynamic experience of light, leading him to avoid grayish tones. The reception by Spanish criticism was extremely favorable toward the three painters. Regarding Markellos, Figuerola-Ferretti wrote: “Theodoros Markellos is the representative... of chromatic lighting, which gives maximum value to explosive colorfulness. His painterly manner, of Impressionist origin, achieves more sensitive nuances in certain small-scale canvases, where, with a free, lively, and active brushstroke, he constructs urban perspectives of exceptional quality” (Arriba, June 18, 1955). Antonio Campos wrote: “Markellos has allowed himself to be blinded by the explosive meridian light and is a brilliant colorist who, without chromatic nuances, boldly uses his palette. With his canvases 'Plaza Mayor', 'Otoño', and 'Estanque del Retiro', full of successes, he is certainly... the one who reaches the public best” (Ya, June 22, 1955). These praises are absolutely fair and succeed in highlighting Markellos’s plastic ability to capture light as the soul of a landscape. After becoming acquainted with the Spanish classics, Markellos considers moving to France to complete his knowledge of the Impressionist schools. Finally, it is worth noting the interest aroused by his own Pantocrator on a wooden panel at the National Exhibition of Images in Madrid, a month earlier. Dimitrios Papageorgiou, born in Nea Makri near Delphi in 1928, presented to the public at this Exhibition a collection of thirteen engravings, all executed in Spain. He specialized in woodcut, aquatint, lithography, and sculpture in soft wood; knowing the classical techniques, he uses aquatint. For this reason, he has shown great interest in the technique of drawing, as clearly seen in the technique of the exhibited works. Working on various themes, compositions, forms, and nudes, he seeks and achieves the expression of emotion in his work, executing the drawing with an engraver’s consciousness, overcoming the greatest difficulty in this art, which is the translation of color into light and dark areas (chiaroscuro). His preference for the engravings of Rembrandt and Goya is particularly significant, due to their expressive power, their mysterious light on the chiaroscuro, and their ability to convey emotion. In this Exhibition, three landscapes of Segovia stood out, one from the Rastro in Madrid, two tributes to El Greco, as well as two nudes, remarkable for their new qualities in engraving. As an example of the reaction of the Spanish criticism, let us mention the assessment made by Antonio Campos: “Papageorgiou is an engraver with successful skill and excellent artistic qualities. A great draftsman, he does not limit himself to the landscape genre, in which he has his decisive successes 'El Rastro' and 'Segovia', but attacks the human form with wonderful nudes and pleasant female heads.” The critic Figuerola: “...he stirs his inspiration on direct Spanish themes—or through our classic painters. Dimitris, specialized in engraving, tried both challenges, and in the first, for example, a view of the Rastro in Madrid, served him to offer us proof of his technique and good taste, achieving qualities of middle tones and shades with excellent skill. Also, he certifies his abilities in other engravings, which constitute a tribute to significant names in Spanish painting.” In painting in general, Papageorgiou’s preferences focus on Velázquez, El Greco, Goya, and Solana. The influence of these Spanish painters tempts him to complete the engraving with a more intense dedication to painting. Dimitrios Perdikidis, born in Athens in 1922, became known at the National Exhibition of Greece in 1952. A little later he came to Spain and in 1953 presented works in Cuenca, with great success, both artistic and commercial. In the Toisón hall he exhibits fifteen works. He is a painter deeply concerned with the pictorial element of the canvas, intensely engaged with profoundly human themes, which leads him to preferentially focus on what reveals pain. In his works, a preference for the dark painting of Goya or Solana is evident. Although he feels a tendency toward abstraction, he does not pursue it. He is interested in nature, but dominated by the concept of composition; a barren view of the Vaqueira and another of the same place from afar highlight this. Grays dominate his works, as a painter who seeks the tragic within balance. The Spanish critics mentioned earlier have dedicated eulogies to him, such as: “...A sensitive observer of the difficult gray light that immerses our fields in moments of shadowy patina, challenging for the painter’s retina. Perdikidis, however, managed to see the silent color properties of these hours favorable to melancholy in our landscapes, and has transferred them to his canvases with delicate sensitivity and constructive simplicity, definitive virtues worthy of praise and encouragement” (Figuerola-Ferreti). “...Indeed, he has reached the dry austerity of most of Spanish geography. He often prefers the use of leaden grays, and the landscape of Cuenca and the suburbs of Madrid is seen with precision” (Antonio Campos). Federico Muelas published a study titled “A Greek Facing the Acropolis of Cuenca” in Pueblo (June 22, 1955), CHRONICLES 263 dedicated to Perdikidis, in which he highlights the importance given to his pictorial work in Cuenca: “From the first day of his arrival in Cuenca, the painter, facing the city’s palette in old silver, the subtle shade of its grays, a fine ash-like glow in slightly layered tones, like dust passed through the sieve of eternity.” “He revealed to me, with surprise, the rare identity between this Castilian light and the light of his homeland.” Furthermore, Perdikidis has shown interest in the Byzantine style; four icons of his own creation are exhibited at the CEOR’s Kapnitsa in Madrid, a Saint John and a Saint George in pure Byzantine style, and the other two in Greek-Byzantine style; they have received high praise. A common characteristic of these three painters, in the exhibition I am referring to, can be described as what was expressed by Federico Muelas in the aforementioned article: “In the vision of the three, there is a deep understanding of the lands of Spain.” This is one shared trait; another is the success they achieved among the Spanish public. Konstantinos Laskaris Komnenos ISRAEL Nazareth: In the Footsteps of JESUS Generally, visitors enter the land of Jesus through Haifa, a Mediterranean port and prosperous city located at the foot of Mount Carmel, famous for its biblical memories and as a center of Marian devotion, or through Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. By air, they descend into Lydda, near Jaffa, or directly into Jerusalem, at the Qalandia airport. When the pilgrim arrives in Haifa, they experience an indescribable emotion. They are in the Land of Jesus, and neither the modern city with its invitations for entertainment stops them for a moment, as they are drawn to the nearby city of Nazareth. Thirty-five kilometers separate it from Haifa, and the pilgrim crosses the fertile region with only one thought: to reach the city of Christ. Upon arrival, they will feel different, comforted by the memory of Him who came to restore human nature. Christ Himself seems to come out to meet them as they approach His city, which the traveler discovers as if by magic, resting on the slope of green hills. The external appearance of Nazareth bears a Christian stamp given by the many monasteries and churches. Its inhabitants (approximately 20,000, mostly Arabs) are also Christians. An atmosphere of familial warmth seems to permeate this city, and here lies the secret of its strong appeal. Here took place the greatest and deepest of all mysteries: the Incarnation. “Perhaps at a spring sunset, the Angel appeared to Mary, the woman who hid laboriously in her home, half-open to the rock.” “Hail, full of grace. The Lord is with you” (Luke 1:28).

GREECE Greek painters Over the past two years, cultural relations between Greece and Spain have intensified. The flourishing Spanish Society for Classical Studies, along with the interest shown by the General Directorate of Cultural Relations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and, in particular, the Ministry of National Education, have taken fundamental steps toward fostering this closeness. From the Spanish side, there is a genuine need to train archaeologists, philologists, and historians; from the Greek side, the interest is twofold, focusing on artistic and historical development as well as on the instrumental value of the Spanish language for trade with Hispanic America. The recent visit to Greece by some of the key figures of the Spanish Society for Classical Studies facilitated the contacts that will enable the definitive establishment of the Spanish Institute in Athens in the near future. Among other developments, it is worth highlighting the presence in Spain of three Greek artists, supported by the General Directorate of Cultural Relations, who this past June presented their latest works in an exhibition held at the Tolsón venue in Madrid. The artists are Theodoros Markellos, Dimitrios Papageorgiou, and Dimitrios Perdikidis, young painters who have been in Spain for one year, with the latter having been there for two years. This experience, which brought three artists with exclusively patriotic training into contact with the environment, landscapes, and museums of Spain, is particularly interesting. Greek art, across all its periods, has always sought balance, aiming to express the innermost self through a harmonious whole—a quality that certainly cannot be considered a defining characteristic of Spanish art, where impulsiveness tends to dominate. Perhaps for this very reason, Velázquez, and from another perspective, Goya and Solana, are the painters who have most attracted these young Greek artists. Theodoros Markellos, born in Athens in 1925, had already made his appearance at the National Exhibition of Greece around 1952, a selective exhibition highlighting new values in the homeland. His reputation was confirmed at the Exhibition of Greek Painters of the Sea, also in Athens. At the Madrid exhibition, he presented about twenty works, all landscapes. His most general characteristic could be described as an intense impressionism, a luminous painting style, but all experienced personally. The identification of truth and nature, a perception stemming from ancient Greek philosophy, exists in him as a general premise leading, if the phrase is permissible, to a painting of the heart rather than the mind.

1955 Reviews (Private Press.)

«YA» 22-6-1955 (Κριτικές Ιδρυμικού Τύπου) Art Critic Antonios Kovos writes Th. Markellos is a painter who, without chromatic tricks, boldly uses the palette. With his paintings: Plaza Mayor, Otoño, and Estanque del Retiro, which are very impressive, he reaches the giant public. Three Greek artists, Perdikidis, Markellos, and Papageorgiou, have exhibited together at the Toisón gallery, presenting the ripe fruits of their artistic wanderings in Spain. Their artistic perceptions, technique, and style are different. Perdikidis is probably the deepest and has reached exactly the dry austerity of the greater part of Spanish geography. He often uses leaden gray shades and sees with precision the landscape, including that of the suburbs of Madrid. Markellos has let himself be blinded by the explosive meridian light and is a brilliant colorist who, without chromatic tactics, boldly uses the palette. With his canvases “Plaza Mayor”, “Otoño”, and “Estanque del Retiro”, full of successes, he is surely—of the three—the one who reaches the public best. Papageorgiou is an engraver with successful skill and excellent artistic qualities. A great designer, he does not limit himself to the landscape genre, in which he has the decisive successes “El Rastro” and “Segovia”, but attacks the human body with delicate nudes and pleasant female heads. Antonios Kovos

"MADRID", 1955 (Criticism from the Spanish press.) The critic Schemas Mariano Thomas writes. Th. Markellos is a secretary of 60' color and translator of 60' women, without writing among the hundred and one bird artists, but an artist with the "Setting of Segovia", and his own "Calle mayor", the technical women's selfishness and the shields that ask for the liveliness of Carting with the Theme across their various organized factors of Spanish experience.

It can be characterized as refined or pleasant, without the adjective becoming excessively approving. We do not try to discover Japanese woodcut, which has already spread in the West due to the love for Eastern art; a love that, if not initially, was expanded by the Concor brothers, maniacs, if it can be characterized as a mania, or by no one else. The same applies to his views on Segovia and our street Mayor, the latter with bright impressionism. Papageorgiou is more of a woodcutter than a painter, and his landscape from Segovia, as well as the reproduction of "Lady with Child", called "Tribute to El Greco", are the works of this artist that fascinate us most. Three Greek painters exhibit in the Toison space: Dimitris Perdikidis, Theodoros Markellos and Dimitris Papageorgiou. All three, in landscape, have merged with the Spanish spirit with the noble effort to follow the immortal Domenikos Theotokopoulos and, indeed, feel the Castilian landscape with more profound zeal than some of the so-called masters of continuous Spanish painting. Perdikidis is austere in shades, slightly melancholic, and his landscapes seem to be viewed with eyes that light hurts; and he tries to find the angles with the calmest lightness. His best works, in our opinion, are "The suburbs of Cuenca" and "The suburbs of Madrid". Markellos is brighter in coloring, more generous in lightness, without becoming annoying SOLUTION TO NUMBER 4164 HORIZONTAL 1: Paremia.—2: Do. Ara. Si.—3: A. Pan. N.—4: Nata. Eolo.—5: Uni.

"DIGAME" 1955 (Critical Italian Zeno.) The Art Critic Federico Galindo writes. T. Markellos has struck a personality which, like the Theologian, meets, in life, the city of Madrid and Segovia, living their own themes for his compositions. Compositions in which the saint of the opening, the woman live courage and strength, Built areas of a life hold with an intense subtropical character. Furthermore, the Faithful after which form of beard Stavadiotis His time is always impetuous, the art changed.

«ARIBA», 18-6-1955 (Review by Ioannis Tinos.) Art Critic Figuerola Ferreti writes. Th. Markellos is the creator of solid angles and imparts brilliance to chromatic expression. His solid impressionistic painting achieves aesthetic values in certain small-scale paintings, such as studied studies, gouaches, and inventions, paving the way for a polemical introductory analysis. ARIBA ... 18-6-1955 THREE GREEK PAINTERS, D. PERDIKIDIS, TH. MARKELOS AND D. PAPAGEORGIOU (Sala Toisón).—The work of these three young Greek painters constitutes, above all, proof of their devotion to Spain. Dimitris Papageorgiou, the youngest of the three, focuses his inspiration on immediate Spanish subjects—landscapes—or through our classical painters. Dimitris, specializing in engraving, has tried both approaches, and in the first, for example, a view of the Madrid «Rastro» has served him to offer us proof of his technique and good taste, achieving qualities of middle tones and shades with exceptional skill. He also signs his abilities in other engravings, which are a tribute to significant names in Spanish painting. Theodoros Markellos is, in this case, the representative of chromatic lighting that gives maximum value to explosive colorfulness. His impressionistic painting achieves more sensitive values in certain small-sized canvases, where with a free, lively, and active brushstroke he constructs urban perspectives of exceptional quality. Dimitris Perdikidis is probably the most sensitive observer of the difficult gray light that immerses our fields in moments of dark patina, challenging for the painter's eye. Perdikidis has managed, however, to see the muted chromatic properties of these hours that favor melancholy in our landscapes and has transferred them to his canvases with delicate sensitivity and simplicity in composition, characteristics of his virtues that deserve praise and encouragement. Figuerola Ferreti.

«INFORMATION» 1955 Art Critic Alfonso Sánchez Hispania Th. Markellos loves intense color and modern painting. The “Entrance into the Painting World” is a landscape painting. Information THREE GREEK PAINTERS : : : Following the example of El Greco, three Greek painters came here to paint. They still do not have a nickname, which makes things quite difficult, because they are called Dimitris Perdikidis, Theodoros Markellos, and Dimitris Papageorgiou. Three young men in their thirties, enthusiastic about Spain. All three unanimously declared: “We do not want to leave Spain and we are doing everything we can to stay in this land.” Yesterday they inaugurated an Exhibition at Sala Toison. The giant Perdikidis prefers simplicity in subject and colors: “I like Castile and the Basque Country for their seriousness.” There are many landscapes of Cuenca in his work. The man has already successfully held an Exhibition there. Markellos loves intense color and modern painting. The “Entrance to the Zoo” is a painting of high quality. Papageorgiou prefers engraving. He has undertaken to create a “Tribute to El Greco”: a portrait of the Lady with the Armilla. They have been in the land of Spain for only a few months and it has already deeply entered their souls. All three speak our language well.

4=/ Good morning, November 26. The painter Th. Markellos The Greek painter Th. Markellos has returned from Italy, where he successfully organized a solo exhibition of his paintings at the “Galleria d’Arte Spinetti” in Florence. The exhibition, which was very favorably reviewed by the local art circles, was honored by the presence of the Mayor of Florence, well-known personalities, and many art lovers.

GREEK IN ITALY: Following the success at Galleria Sagittario in Milan, painter Th. Markellos now presents his solo exhibition at Palazzo Vecchio Gallery in Florence. The opening will take place the day after tomorrow, March 8.

Alice Nicolaïdou The exhibition of paintings by the artist Alice Nicolaïdou, held at the Art Gallery (Mprostánoides 13, 3rd floor), has met with particular success. The exhibition features 68 paintings, categorized according to the artist’s color combinations, thematic priorities, and stylistic approach. Alice Nicolaïdou was born in Thessaloniki, where she studied painting under Polykeros Rekou from 1966 to 1970. She works with charcoal, ink, watercolor, oil, tempera, and pastel, depicting both still life and modern themes, as well as natural and tonal subjects. Today, she is considered one of the most prominent modern visual artists in Thessaloniki. Her exhibition will run until April 2, with opening hours from 5:00 PM to 8:30 PM. By Markellos The painting exhibition by the well-known artist Markellos, who has previously exhibited in Thessaloniki, continues to be a success at the renowned “Kalles Technes” gallery (Mprostánoides 74). The artist studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts and received scholarships to study at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His works have been exhibited in the Parliamentary Gallery in Athens, throughout Greece, and abroad. The exhibition will last until March 25, with daily hours from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM and from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM, including Sundays.

Even painters tread on meadows A few days ago, an individual exhibition by Greek painter Theodor Markellos was inaugurated in the spaces of the Palazzo Vecchio gallery in Florence: we are faced with a series of works, connected with very well-known representational shapes, which are proposed, let's say, for what they are and for what, without great demands, they can "suggest" at first glance. There is in these pages, therefore, the free expression of a fantasy that aims to make calculations, correctly and only, with this Markellos never feels like failing: and these are proposals and passions that have little or nothing to do with an open and real vision of things and the world and that, as a result, remain almost always suffocated in the middle of a "family history" supported by iconographic elements (marine, figures and landscapes, for example) that are less reactive. And Markellos "saw" and narrated all this with the great list of a restorer: from here the undeniable spontaneity of his work and the evident coherence of his narrative: a narrative that, between disbelief of joy and sudden abandonments, seems to search for the green meadow of our ancient loves. The place, locked in a case, is now sacred and impassable: but painters, as we know, sometimes pretend they don't know how to read and, instead, continue to tread even on those meadows that, on the contrary, they should have abandoned, long ago, for more than one reason. And for good understanding... For a new childhood Cozzado Mqzzsom

Themes CULTURAL AESTHETICS By STELIOS LYDAKIS “The creeping conservatism” UNACCEPTABLE POSITIONS OF THE CRITICAL COMMITTEE OF THE “PANHELLENIC” The chairman of the Critical Committee of the “Panellenic,” painter and professor at the School of Fine Arts, Nikos Kesanelis, referred in an interview to the exhibition, which opened its doors at the facilities of the Piraeus Port Authority (O.L.P.), with the unverified title “Panellenic Exhibition of Visual Arts.” For Kesanelis, this year’s Panellenic is the best of any in the past and the most “open” to new forms of artistic expression, which were so fiercely fought against in the past by creeping conservatism... The “creeping conservatism” and the “galloping progressiveness” are two entirely opposing concepts that, in my opinion, are equally destructive and equally undesirable for the spirit. And it is a fact that the old “creeping conservatism,” as a mindset and as practice, is now opposed by the “galloping progressiveness,” frenzied and unbridled, although its character is actually more outdated than the artistic “anarchistic” tendencies of the first decades of the century. And it is a fact that what is opposed to the Panellenic of Mr. Kesanelis against the “creeping conservatism” is already a tired story, since neither a new idea nor a trace of a real vital spiritual flash with convincing promises appears anywhere. To the old establishment is opposed a new one, to the “suffocating Academy” a “new Academy,” a forgetful arteriosclerotic academicism. And it is not assumed that such intense reactivity towards the “creeping conservatism,” how then Mr. Kesanelis was the proposer of the proposal, of the “arbitrary invitations,” which included artists of a conservative artistic perception: These invitations should have been sent to the recognized artists, who would not be right to be hidden again and who otherwise would not participate. However, with his positions on the “creeping conservatism,” does Mr. Kesanelis not contradict himself when he also appeals to conservatives? In my opinion, any extreme position or any kind of "fanaticism" undermines the judgment of intellectual creations. A jury is not convened to express its own positions, but to identify qualities that may be present in both conservative and progressive works. Nothing is more tragic or dangerous than the dogmatization of positions: for in doing so, the spirit is forced into molds, confined, and disgraced. Art and Time What difference does it make whether a work of art is classical or modern? The only thing that matters is whether it is intellectually charged or not, because neither the classical nor the modern can stand artistically if they do not express an intellectual dynamic, if they do not constitute an intellectual value. Style and technique are therefore superficial matters. All styles and techniques are acceptable when they have something to offer; otherwise, they are "clanging cymbals." But we invent the Moloch called "Epoch" and invoke it in all cases where we want to appear clever. The spirit is not confined to molds, is not the exclusive privilege of the progressives, and does not become a plaything of time (the epoch). Timeless by nature, it creates History when it is dynamic, and certainly not when it is coerced or disgraced. For the spirit is indeed coerced and disgraced when, among the so-called works of art, "A Carrot of Stones" or anything else related is exhibited. The fact that brings to mind the "anarchism" of Marcel Duchamp, who at the so-called Armory Show in New York in 1913 wanted to exhibit a urinal, confirms precisely that the progressive has not taken a step from its position for many decades. Meanwhile, however, the contradiction characterizing the positions and actions of Mr. Kesanelis and the Jury becomes even more indicative in the confrontation, above all, between works of a conservative style and modern or modernizing works with a progressive or "anarchistic" approach. Thus, an outstanding work by Nikos Perandinos titled "Mnemosyne" is presented, which in a classical-realistic style shows a devout girl holding a few flowers; a painting by Yannis Papa ("Evangelos Papandonatos"), in a cold, unprocessed realism; a "Pyramid" of safety pins by Kostas Karachalios, etc. And it is certainly not about the non-existent intention of the committee to present all the trends, since the principle of the position is to avoid (which ultimately it does not avoid) the "creeping conservatism." Simply put, it finds

TECHNOCRITICAL NOTES THE 7th PANHELLENIC Painting — Works and Exhibitions. — At the Zappeion Hall. By our artistic collaborator Mr. M. H. KONSTANTOPOULOS We continue today our critiques of the painting works of the 7th Panhellenic: Papá presents archaic acoustic examples from African models, color, metric abstractions, local still lifes, and a synchronized harmonic perception characterizes her works (Nos. 44, 45, and 46). Spyros Vasiliev is a Greek writer. He has a Greek philosophy. He does not stray from following trends… “The City” (No. 49) and “Neighborhood” (No. 50). His color is pure. Charis Voyiatzis is a worthy painter. Within his seemingly abstract works, the sea of the Aegean (No. 72) and the pure color of Attic landscapes receive their most useful painterly interpretation. I will mention in passing the “Medieval Polity” (No. 98) by K. Giannakas. His “City of Space” is a fantastic endeavor, tri-colored in a unique hue. D. Giannoukakis is always cultivated and profound. Painting, quality in his synchronized creations. Works perfected from every aspect (Nos. 103, 104, 105). G. Gounaropoulos is a better painter of the old guard of Greek progress, which is constantly renewing itself. Ilias Dekoulakos has a personal touch and his own new expression within abstract painting. His palette has idiosyncratic colors, synchronized, and his brushes are rarely hesitant. “Memory 1962”. Stavros Dalakos is an artist. His painting on the ship (No. 128) has compositional advantages, atmosphere, and chromatic quality. K. Hiliadis has also entered the dance of the abstracts. There are in his works (Painting 1 and 2) competitions of advantages, but they do not give us anything new. I prefer, without hesitation, the old Hiliadis. Next to the abstract perception of her work. She was a student of her works, but each path she has taken has continuity. The “Leaf Triptych” (No. 171) has dragonflies, chromatic harmony, and a heavy mood. It is sad that the other two parts of the triptych were excluded. Thus, the decoration of a creation is maimed. The selection of Zerva led her down a wrong path. Her great artistic painting is what truly convinces. G. Evkleides is promising. He always subtracts with measure, and his works radiate with genuine chromatic elements, harmonies, and a Greek atmosphere. (Nos. 163, 164, 165). Orestis Kanallis avoids detail. He has freed himself from the constraint of the established form. The piece (No. 202) is idyllic and rich in foliage. Rare is the chromatic harmony of this creation. D. Kentakis is new in his new path. His works (Painting 1 and 2) are complete in their conception. His color is different. Thalia Kleadi in plastic work No. 225 (Composition) gives us chromatic elements with personal flair. All her harmonies—a luminous existence in the Greek fire. H. Lesakis advances with continuity. His expressive power and his color are rare in frequency. He does not work by chance. His creations are the result of deep, effective study. Th. Markellos distances himself from Greek painting; he does not do things right. Nevertheless, his second work, “Railway Area” (No. 311), has very good chromatic and compositional elements, readability. Koila Bikiaris paints drama and cheese. Her works live in every muse of fairy tales, between fantasy and reality. (Nos. 338, 339, 340). G. Mouyios presents one of his works titled “Village” (No. 336). This canvas undoubtedly has compositional and chromatic advantages. His new work shows continuity and has gradually reached this point. Mouyios is a painter. He adapts easily. Eleni Pangalou in “Eleusinion” (372) has good elements. A result of analysis. Jenny Papadaki: “Mothers” of her imagination. I prefer her small works in this conception. Eda Bouloura continues her upward progress. Her chromatic harmony enchants. She is one of the best painters of this conception. The drawing of her canvases is always perfect. (Nos. 350, 351, 352). Spyros Papanikolaou has become abstract. He has an outstanding work in his new path as well. (No. 394). D. Poulianos is steadfast in harmony. The quality of his work was separating. Greek light is the weapon of his work (Nos. 438 and 439). Avrimias draws from depths in his creations. N. Santorinaios evolves and modernizes. Rare chromatic and compositional advantages characterize his works (457–461). V. Spiliopoulos now paints abstractly. (Nos. 486 and 487). They have originality

ANOTHER VOICE ON THE 7th Panhellenic Exhibition BY THE PAINTER A. KONTOPoulos We received and are pleased to publish the letter below from the distinguished painter Alex. Kontopoulos, which reinforces the opinion of "Nea," according to which the institution of the Panhellenic needs immediate renewal. It is worth noting that Alex. Kontopoulos was also a member of the Panhellenic Committee. I would like to respond, supplementing or disagreeing on certain points, to the critiques of our friend and collaborator of "Nea," Ms. E. Vykalo, regarding the 7th Panhellenic Exhibition. Every institution ages... And the institution of the Panhellenic exhibitions operates under regulations approved many years ago, which are now outdated. This is obvious, and personally, I have direct experience, as I participated as a committee member and know how often we reached a dead end... The reasons are many. There are two basic tendencies in art today that continue to clash in our country. The "old world" holds most of the rights. This alone is sufficient reason for established artists to stay away from the Panhellenic Exhibition. Furthermore, there are certain styles with exhausted expression, characterized by a lack of poetry. They may not even be styles, but they wish to appear as such and have gained recognition and even many privileges. Meanwhile, the "inner world" in similar manifestations—such as the Panhellenic, organized by the state—knows it will face these privileges without having adequate means of defense. But no Panhellenic was ever a good exhibition, as is the case elsewhere, in all traditional exhibitions with such participation. When the institution first began to operate, it still had its vitality. If the early Panhellenics aroused the interest of both artists and the public, it was because the state—the regime of August 4th—promoted the event with all its means and granted large sums of money for the purchase of works, often at prices... of masterpieces! Thus, the state, in cooperation with artists' organizations and those artists who are also senior public officials, organized and continues to organize this Panhellenic exhibition. However, many things have changed in the meantime... The "salons" with the participation of all artistic tendencies have proven, in all parts of the world, to be the most imperfect and bad-taste exhibitions. They were largely replaced by municipal exhibitions with modernizing trends, which excluded common stylistic conventions, exhausted expressions, iconographic representations of landscapes and events, the sentimental aesthetics of the bouzouki, and, ultimately, the entire series of that sweet thematic repertoire. How could it be otherwise? Today, frequent communication, perfect information from print media, books, and travel, has made domestic criticism of art more demanding—it has turned problems into global issues, something that did not exist here ten years ago! Consequently, the demands on the Panhellenic Exhibition are many. We expect from an exhibition that is still organized, almost, according to pre-war criteria, lively and new appearances. When three years ago, in an art center abroad, we talked with many Greek artists living abroad about this topic, we all agreed then that a broad participation in the Panhellenic Exhibitions, together with the participation of the living forces remaining permanently in Greece and the promotion of the new, could give the exhibitions the quality required by contemporary exhibitions. With these prerequisites, I worked together with other members of the committee to renew an organization that is dying. Unfortunately, the participation of Greeks abroad was minimal (and this, to a large extent, is due to the reaction of the administration of the Art Chamber), but also that of the new forces here at home was insufficient. Moreover, the most vital forces among the older artists abstained. Personally, I would like to believe that this abstention is due to discouraging reasons. If it happened for this reason, then the fact is not hopeless. However, I am very afraid that the abstention from this national artistic event (unique but also inadequate) was due to narrow personal considerations and the calculation of a "prospective" career... With regret, one notices that nowhere

WHICH GREEK ARTISTS WILL TRAVEL TO MOSCOW The Greek Preparatory Committee for the 6th Moscow World Festival has selected, following a competition, the following young artists to travel to Moscow and attend the festival events: M.

The exhibition will last 15 days, and the participating artists are: Vasilikotis, Chara Vienno, Giannousakis, Dalakos, Dimas, Dimas-Tsiller, Evkleides, Zetos, Zongolopoulos, Kentakas, Kleapa, Kokkoris, Kosmadopoulos El., Leontaritou Rea, Makarona, Megalidis, Mermiga Toula, Btekiari Kula, Mosha, Micheli Efi, Pangkalou Eleni, Papageorgiou, Pappa Aglaia, Panoutsou Ioulia, Pramantiou-Charati, Ramfou, Regkas, Terlidou-Giannopoulou, Fantatou Anna Chatzinada-Photiou Char., Chytiris Dimitrios. — A highly interesting exhibition will open next Monday, the 19th of this month, in the exhibition hall of the American Information Service. The works displayed there have been created by thirty children aged 5 to 15. This beautiful initiative is attributed to the Children's Recreation Club and the Graphic Line, who jointly organized this children's drawing exhibition, in which over a hundred children from Greek and American schools participated. The children's works, themed around the transatlantic liner "Olympia," were selected by a jury of art critics and artists comprising Messrs. Prokatiou, Giannis Moralis, Spiteri, Eleni Theohari, Eleni Bakalo, and An. Stavrianou-Xanthou. The exhibition will also be held aboard the "Olympia," where special gifts will be awarded to the prize-winning children during a dedicated reception. — Next Sunday is the last day for those wishing to apply for the engraving chair at the School of Fine Arts to submit their candidacy. Subsequently, the faculty of the School of Fine Arts will examine the qualifications and credentials of the candidates to determine if they meet the requirements of the announcement, and will convene on the following or the Sunday after next to announce the selected candidates. — During these days, taking advantage of the holidays, the well-known Thessaloniki painter Mr. Pol. Regos and the Constantinople-born Greek painter Mrs. Danis Yagteglou passed through the capital. The former, interested in presenting new work after an absence of about five years, secured a venue for his new exhibition, which will most likely take place in winter, following another one scheduled for autumn in Kavala, possibly in Thessaloniki and elsewhere. — The young painter Mrs. Danis Gratzoulou studied after her initial introduction to art in Paris, where she systematically followed the new currents in the visual arts and engaged deeply with their achievements. In the French capital, she participated in numerous group exhibitions and presented works from her highly valued collection alongside internationally renowned artists. Two recent exhibitions she held in Istanbul received critical acclaim and were described by the Turks as very successful.

TECHNICAL CRITICAL NOTES THE EXHIBITION OF TH. MARKELOS BY OUR COLLABORATOR MR. M. H. KONSTANTOPOULOS In the large hall of "Parnassos", under the high patronage of the Ambassador of Spain Juan Felix de Ranero, the new painter Th. Mar- kellos exhibits 103 of his works '(Oil)', inspired by 'Spain', Paris and 'Greece'. He also exhibits three copies of works by El Greco, Velazquez and Goya, which he executed in museums of 'Spain'. Mr. Markellos was born in 1925 in Athens and in 1948 en- tered the Higher School of Fine Arts, where he studied with teachers Georgiadis and Kefallinos. In 1952 he received his diploma with three honorable distinctions. He participated in the exhibition of 'Greek Marine Painters' and the Giannelis exhibition. In 1954 he moved to 'Spain' with a scholarship from the Spanish state and attended the 'Higher School of San Fer- nando with professors Don Francisco Soria: Aento and the of Goya, (fusillade of insur- gents) by Velazquez and by Theotokopoulos (El Greco), which he satisfactorily rendered, Mar- kellos is driven by a fever of creation and recreation. The works from Madrid and Segovia give us images of real 'Spain', and rightly the Spanish critic noted, that the 'Greek artist has depicted and interpreted the country better than many masters of Spanish painting. "The Road" (no. 1) has movement and color, or "Plaza Espana" (no. 6) with Don Qui- xote and Sancho Panza is 100% 'Spain'. "The Garden" (no. 16) is a joy to the eyes in chromatic harmony. "The Afternoon" (no. 21) retains a raw quality. Characteristic are his impressions from bullfights. He also notes "Friendly Coexistence" (no. 23), "Castile" (no. 31), where the Near the trains (Madrid) (Oil) by the painter Th. Markellos. Don Carlos Saenz De Tejada. In 'Spain' he studied the great artists in the mu- seums and exhibited repeatedly in the Spanish salons. Afterwards he continued his artistic studies in Paris. In 1957 he took part in the Panhellenic Ex- hibition and the Exhibition of the transatlantic "Olympia" as well as in the world exhibition in Mo- scow, where his work received praise. The Spanish press has devoted enthusiastic comments to the work of the 'Greek painter. The art critic Figuerola Ferreti, considers Markellos a representative of the painting of lightness, which gives the the highest value in the chromatic rendering with a free, vigorous and active brushstroke. The art critic Antonio Compas wrote that the Greek painter rendered the Spanish landscape with more warmth than some masters of Spanish painting. Finally, the art critic Mariano Thomas wrote that the Greek painter rendered the Spanish landscape with more warmth than some masters of Spanish painting. All these laudatory reviews of Markellos’s work are justified. The Greek painter, imbued with Greek light and with solid foundations from Georgiadis’s teaching, managed to capture the entire power and distinctive form of the Spanish landscape, which is embraced by the Mediterranean sun. The entire fervor of the Spanish race is reflected in the themes from Spain in Markellos’s work. The artist, endowed with rich talent, bold brushwork and free, yet dynamic drawing, gave us the real Spain in his works. No Greek painter has entered the soul of the Spanish landscape and Spanish life as deeply as Markellos, who sings of it in all the richness of his feverish painting. Even in his copies of the artist’s works, the “Night with Rain” (no. 34) — a masterful and powerful work —, the “Departure at the Lake” (no. 37), “Madrid” (no. 42), 44, 45, 46 “Street” (Praise from the Moscow exhibition), the robust in execution and conception “Castile in Castile”, 48, 53, 54, 58. His pieces from stations and trains vividly convey the movement and atmosphere of departure (no. 20, 63). The work “With Clouds” stands out for its chromatic boldness and power. More free is the piece “Garden in the Sun” (no. 65). Among his Parisian works and landscapes, which have a different light and atmosphere, note no. 73 (Towards Notre

THE ARTISTIC MOVEMENT AFTERNOON 25-2-1958 “Factory Area”: An oil painting by Th. Markellos, exhibited in the large hall of “Parnassos”. THE PAINTING EXHIBITIONS (BY MR. THEOD. MARKELOS) BY MR. M. H. KONSTANTOPOULOS In the large hall of “Parnassos”, the young painter Theod. Markellos is exhibiting. A student of Georgiadis and Kefallinou, and later of various painters in Spain, he presents 103 oil paintings with themes from the life and countryside of Madrid, Segovia, the French capital, and Greece. He also exhibits exceptional copies of Goya (Turkish-haired patriots), Velázquez, and Domenikos Theotokopoulos (El Greco). The artist executed the aforementioned works in the museums of Spain where they are exhibited, and he managed to come very close to the originals. With conscientiousness and dedication, he worked for a long time to complete this task. It is by no means easy work to successfully copy a Goya, a Velázquez, or a Theotokopoulos. Markellos, when he appeared at the School, received 5 distinctions. Later, he successfully participated in the two Panhellenic exhibitions, in the salons of Spain, where Spanish critics wrote extensive reviews about his feverish and bold work, and he received praise at the international exhibition in Moscow. He stayed in Spain on a scholarship. In his works from Spain, Markellos gave us the color and the fever of Spanish life, of this race, whose veins run with blood full of passions, love, and desire. Rightly, the Spanish art critic Mariano Thomas wrote that Markellos paints the landscape of Castile with a warmth that surpasses some of the masters of contemporary Spanish painting. From his works with the theme of Madrid, I note the following pieces: No. 1 (“Road” — very colorful and lively), 3 (“Rain on the pavement”), 5 (“Arrival of the carriage” — very rich in color and execution) — 10, 13, 16, 18 (“Bullfight”), 20 (“Factory Area”), 21 (“Departure — captures a damp atmosphere”), 25, 31, 34, 37, 42, 44 (“Dark Bar”), 46, 47 (“Carriage in Castile”), 48, 49. Very strongly distinguished by readiness, color, and free design are the pieces from Segovia: 54, 55 (“Outside the city” — poor hospitals).

THE MOVEMENT OF EXHIBITIONS.—THE MOVEMENT INTO THE PROVINCES.—THE WORK IN THE LAST few years, “Parnassos” has hosted several interesting exhibitions in its halls, compensating us for the mediocre impression we had gathered from the various artistic “markets” held there, where unlikely painters paraded the creations of their disputed talent. Thus, after the assured technique of D. Bratsas and the sensitivity of Linats—whose exhibition continues in the middle hall—we are given the opportunity to enjoy the highly noteworthy work of the painter Markellos, which should not go unnoticed. I do not recall having seen paintings by this artist before, and thus this exhibition of his is, to some extent, a revelation for me. The presentation of Mr. Markellos in this solo exhibition at “Parnassos” is, to a certain extent, prolific. He exhibits many (103) paintings, arranged so densely that one hangs next to another, and the selection is not as refined as it ought to be, preventing the viewer from forming an entirely positive impression. Beyond this partial reservation, the artist demonstrates that he possesses considerable potential, that his sensitivity is unbroken, and that he masters his technique. At the crossroads of Impressionism and Modern Art, he borrows the best elements from both, achieving a personal aesthetic result that, without resorting to extremes, exhibits elegance, imagination, and boldness. The Spain he presents to us is a completely different Spain from the one our local painters have shown us in their works over the years. He did not stop at its surface, its tourism, so to speak, nor did he present it with bright colors and cheap romantic sentiment like a postcard. Instead, he delved into its soul, its deepest character, and without stripping it of its unique style and characteristic warmth, he revealed its true essence. At the same level are his other pictorial impressions from his travels and elsewhere.

At the “Parnassos” venue, one of the many recent painting and art exhibitions has taken place, following previous shows at the “Entrikon” and most recently at the Panhellenic Exhibition. At the “Parnassos,” in the large hall, an interesting exhibition will also open tomorrow at 6 p.m. The exhibitor will be the young painter Theodoros Markellos, known for his successful participation in the latest Panhellenic Exhibition as well as the Moscow Festival Exhibition, where he also distinguished himself. — Markellos’s exhibition is under the patronage of the Spanish Ambassador and will run until February 2. It should be noted that Markellos studied in Spain as a scholarship recipient of the Spanish State, and in this exhibition he will present many paintings with Spanish themes, as well as impressions from Garisi and Greece. At Gallery A. 23, 23 Amerikis Street, the Exhibition has just closed.

EXHIBITION OF YOUNG PAINTERS IN THESSALONIKI In the exhibition hall of the Municipality of Thessaloniki, the Athenian galleries “A23” and “Kouros” successfully organized an exhibition of 32 young Greek painters. The exhibition features the painters Giorgos Angelinis, D. Andrikopoulos, Nora Archelaou, Yannis Vasilopoulos, Hl. Dekoulakos, Tita Kriezhi, Yannis Karousos, Yannis Konidaris, G. Kosmas, Thalia Kleopa, Sp. Livieratos, Voula Laspia, Th. Markellos, Th. Maipas, V. Markantonis, A. Mavridis, K. Barmpas, D. Mytaras, P. Xagoraris, K. Perakis, I.

The first of these was by engraver Mr. Giorgos Vorlamos. SIMONA KALAMPION March 30, 1958 At an exhibition in the “Kouros” room, the impression made on art lovers was remarkable both for the inspiration and the delicate craftsmanship. Elsewhere, in the “Parnassus” room, the well-known painter Mr. Th. Markellos, who is recognized outside Greece and honors the country with his art, exhibited about 100 of his paintings. The success of his exhibition, which was held under the patronage of the Spanish ambassador, was unique. The variety of his subjects (Madrid, Segovia, Paris, Greece) and the admirable chromatic sensitivity of his paintings, combined with the warm and luminous atmosphere of his Spanish and especially Greek landscapes, were the main factors behind the success of his exhibition. Finally, at Zachariou Gallery, the distinguished painter Mr. G. Evkleides exhibited about 60 of his works, including oil paintings, watercolors, and temperas. This exhibition also achieved great artistic success and was very well received by art lovers. The artist’s extreme sensitivity and the originality of his subjects made a particularly strong impression. NEA BIBLIA

Markellos took place with great success in the large exhibition hall of “Parnassos.” Many people from the cultural and artistic circles, as well as diplomatic representatives of various countries, attended the exhibition. Among others present were: Minister of Welfare Mrs. Tsaldari, the Spanish Ambassador Mr. Jean Philippe de Ranero, the First Secretary of the Spanish Embassy with his wife, the Lebanese Ambassador, the Uruguayan Ambassador, who also purchased a painting, Ambassador Mr. Lelis, General D.

The exhibition will remain open until March 2. — It continues to visibly attract the interest of the public, art lovers, and specialists.

April 26, 1958 "THIS" VISUAL ARTS THE EXHIBITION AT "GALERI TECHNIS" Markellos, Sergouloupoulos, Boyadjian, Papaspriropoulos, Kleopa, Stefanatu, Mustakas, Papageorgiou. 'The painter Lily'. Arlioti A new group exhibition, this time featuring younger artists, has been organized at the new "Gallery of Art" (2 Nikis Street). The halls present paintings, sculptures, and characteristic works, as well as drawings, with each artist following their own tendency and presenting a distinct personal quality. It is gratifying that new artistic centers are continually emerging in Athens, with new exhibition spaces showcasing the works of our artists. Mr. Markellos once again presents some of the works he recently exhibited at "Parnassos." We had previously discussed his rare chromatic richness and his sensitivity toward landscape (Railway Area - 5, Kitchen - 8). Mr. Sergouloupoulos again offers some of the paintings he presented in his last exhibition. With their clear, thick color, love for the truth of shapes and volumes, and that sense of flat painting, they could well serve as studies for wall painting. (Landscape of Andros - 26, etc.). Mr. Boyadjian's compositions, with their flat, soft colors, where a harmonious blend of classical tradition and modern painting sensibility occurs, leave the viewer with a taste of classical simplicity, full of sensitivity. Mr. Papaspriropoulos' work is very interesting with its geometric arrangement of the drawing and the formalization of volumes. The surfaces are defined, slightly harsh in their polychromy. However, the theme here is limited to a purely visual phenomenon; there is no allusion. The temperas by Miss Kleopa are given sensitively and with a free disposition, as is the watercolor "Parta" with its greenish tones. Similarly, Mr. Preka's watercolors sensitively convey the atmosphere of the landscape or a certain personal moment ('Departure - 23, 'Immortals - 24) within a low chromatic scale. Miss Stefanatu's watercolors move within a stronger tonal scale, based on a free drawing, where again a visual phenomenon is presented without its extensions (Island kitchen, etc.). The sculptor Mr. Mustakas exhibits two action figures in rough material, well-built, solid, simplified without however losing the touch with reality. Just like the portrait "Rania" gave the rough material they allow to show a sensitivity that does not refer only to the form but also to the essence of things. The same virtues can be noticed and in his drawings, especially in the colored male figure. The characters of Mr. Papasgeorgiou, particularly the "Cuenga" create a sensitive atmosphere, they are engravings in soft tones that rely on the contrast of white and black, and convey together with the theme, the personal mood of the artist. Generally one can say that both in the first and in the second of its appearance the new "Art Gallery" presented quality work, we wish and hope that it will continue on the same path. ★ In the hall "Armos" (Herakleitos 21) compositions by Karamanlis Kar

11th Health Voice Feb. 25, 1958. PAGE 2a OUR ARTISTIC MOVEMENT PAINTING EXHIBITIONS ART CRITICISM NOTE BY MR. AGGELLOS DOXAS (The "Health Voice," in its continuous effort to enrich its content, inaugurates today a regular column of art criticism and is very fortunate to announce that it has secured the collaboration of the well-known art critic and our colleague, Mr. Aggelos Doxas. Thus, doctors, who are particularly considered patrons of painters, will subsequently find in our new column a responsible information and guidance on the Greek movement of visual arts). Two interesting exhibitions of young painters at "Parnassos": By Mr. Th. Markellos and Mr. K. Linakis. Mr. Markellos, whose works have been exhibited at last year's Panhellenic, at the International in Moscow and at the Autumn Salon in Madrid, comes to us from Spain where he studied further for three years with more than a hundred oil paintings, small and large, mostly topographical and mainly from Spain. However, there are also some pieces from Greece, France, Italy. Mr. Markellos is an impressionist with a solid draftsmanship through which a psychological content pulses within a realistic program. In this, he is aided by an idiosyncratic chromatic modulation of colors. That is, even in the most intense and bold colors, he gives a warmth and a softness that sometimes turns into a cheerful brightness, elsewhere into a spiritual warmth, and elsewhere into an idealized upliftment. Thus, the coloristic pieces nos. 7, 8, 16, 17, 24, 32, 36, 65, 69 reveal a natural freshness, while in others, experiments with a melancholic light, the light of the day no. (79) or the light of the night (no. 34, no. 44). Even in the most anti-poetic subjects, such as a freight yard of a railway (no. 49), the realistic harshness disappears under a pulse of life. Another characteristic of Mr. Markellos is how much he has assimilated the Spanish atmosphere. And after expressing it with authenticity nos. 1, 14, 19, 46, 52, 53, 54, 64, he involuntarily transferred it to the landscapes of France, and even to the Greek ones. But Mr. Markellos shows us another characteristic of his. That his style is constantly advancing in new searches. The paintings 83, 86, 87, 89 clearly show this, where, carving a new path in his art, he uncovers the Greek atmosphere in a particularly sensitive way. OLD MADRID (Oil painting by Th.

Thursday, February 27, 1958 AKROPOLIS TECHNOCRITICAL NOTES THE EXHIBITION OF O. MARKELOS BY OUR COLLEAGUE MR. M. H. KONSTANTOPOULOS In the large hall of the "Parnassos," under the high patronage of the Spanish ambassador Juan Felipe de Ranero, the young painter F. Markellos exhibits 103 of his works (oil), inspired by Spain, Paris, and Greece. He also exhibits three copies of works by Greco, Velazquez, and Goya, which he executed in Spanish museums. Markellos was born in 1925 in Lathinas and entered the Higher School of Fine Arts in 1948, where he studied with teachers Georgiadis and Kefallinios. In 1952 he received his diploma with three honors. He participated in the exhibition of Greek marine painters and the Panhellenic Exhibition. In 1954 he moved to Spain with a scholarship from the Spanish state and attended the Royal Academy of San Fernando with professors Don Francisco Soria Leito and Goya, (fusillade of rebels) by Velazquez and Theotakopoulos (Greco), which Markellos rendered in a laconic manner, driven by a fever of creation and recreation. The works from Madrid and Segovia give us images of real Spain, and the Spanish critic rightly wrote that the Greek artist selected and interpreted the country better than many Spanish masters of painting. "The Road" (no. 1) has movement and color; the "Plaza Espana" (no. 6) with Don Quixote and Sancho Panza is 100% Spain. "The Garden" (no. 16) is a joy to the eyes in chromatic harmony. "The Afternoon" (no. 21) retains a liquid quality. Characteristic are his impressions from bullfights. Also noteworthy are "The Old Neighborhood" (no. 23) and "Castile" (no. 31), where the influences are evident. Near the trains (Madrid) (Oil) by the painter Th. Markellos. Don Carlos Saenz de Tejada. In Spain he studied the great artists in the museums and executed works that were accepted in the Spanish salons. He then continued his artistic studies in Paris. In 1957 he participated in the Panhellenic Exhibition and the exhibition of the transatlantic liner "Olympia," as well as in the world exhibition in Moscow, where he received praise. The Spanish landscape has inspired enthusiastic commentary on the work of the Greek painter. The art critic Figuerola Ferrer considers Markellos a representative of luminous painting, which adds a necessary counterpoint to the chromatic explosion with a free, vigorous, and dynamic brushstroke. The art critic Antonio Compo wrote that Markellos is a brilliant colorist with a bold palette. Finally, the art critic Mariano Tomas wrote that the Greek painter rendered the Spanish landscape with more warmth than some of the masters of Spanish painting. All of Markellos’s works are grounded in reality. The Greek painter, with a solid foundation from Georgiadis’s teachings, strives to capture the entire power and unique form of the Spanish landscape, bathed in the Mediterranean sun. The entire fervor of the Spanish people is reflected in Markellos’s themes from Spain. The artist, endowed with rich talent, a bold palette, and a free yet structured design, infuses his Turkish paintings with a national spirit that resonates with all people. Even in the artist’s copies, such as “Night with Rain” (no. 34)—an artistic and powerful work—“Departure at the Lake” (no. 37), “Madrid” (no. 42), 44, 45, 46 “Road” (internationally acclaimed, Moscow), the Romanesque execution and conception “Castile in Castile,” 48, 53, 54, 58. The pieces from stations and trains vividly convey movement and the fleeting escape (no. 20, 63). The work “With Clouds” stands out for its chromatic boldness and power. More free is the piece “Patio in the Sun” (no. 65). Among his Parisian works and landscapes, which have a different light and atmosphere, note no. 73 (Towards Notre Dame) and “Industrial Area” (no. 75). The squares and lakes of Genoa are structured works (no. 80, 81). Finally, in the Greek landscape, Markellos gave his unique form, shaped by geometric light, simplicity, elegance, and finesse. Notable works include no. 83 (Kifisia), 87, 89, 93, 96 (Piraeus), 97, 99, 100, 101 (From the Port). The exhibition

October, (Special Service)—In the latest issue of the Italian magazine "Biennale", the official organ of the organizing body of Venice, a ten-page study by Mr. Tonis Spiteros is published, titled "Contemporary Greek Painters". The study includes a broad overview of the entire artistic movement of contemporary trends in our country with their main representatives and the causes that give rise to them. It thus provides valuable information about Greek painters who live and work in Greece and about the course of their work. The text includes thirteen black-and-white images (L. Arliotis, K.

WORK BY A GREEK PAINTER AWARDED IN ITALY A work by the Greek painter Theodoros Markellos was awarded at the State Italian Exhibition organized for the "Premio Micella" award. At the exhibition, which was attended by more than 150 Italian painters representing various trends and styles, Markellos presented his work following an invitation from the Organizing Committee. Meanwhile, the Greek artist, who has been in Italy for quite some time, will soon be honored in Florence.

Yesterday, a new art gallery opened at 33 Nikis Street. It is called “Horizon” and promises to present significant exhibitions. The first one, by Theodoros Markellos, which was inaugurated yesterday, shows that the new gallery will keep its promises. Theodoros Markellos is a truly remarkable painter. After studying at the School of Fine Arts in Athens, he continued his studies on a scholarship in Madrid and Paris. His works have been presented in many exhibitions abroad. We had not seen his work here for a long time. And we awaited his exhibition with particular interest. Thus, we admired the industrial areas, the railway lines, the interiors of houses, and the night scenes of cities that constitute the subjects of his works. Compositions on a large scale where one can detect melancholy, depression. Compositions of quality where the representational elements are linked with the abstract. 18-24 May 1967 issue number 453 “WOMAN”

ETHNOS, May 24, 1967 The painter Markellos at the Gallery “Horizon” OPENING YESTERDAY OPENING YESTERDAY evening. A new exhibition space began its operations at 33 Nikis Avenue under the title “Horizon.” And thus, the exhibition of the painter Theodoros Markellos was also inaugurated there, featuring twenty-two of his works. MARKELLOS was born in Athens. In 1952 he graduated from the National School of Fine Arts with five honorary distinctions. From 1954 — 56 he studied on a scholarship at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid and from 1960 — 62 again on a scholarship in Paris at the “École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts.” He has participated in solo and group exhibitions such as: In 1952 at the Panhellenic Exhibition of Greek Marine Painters. In Madrid, in 1955, at the Exhibition “Three Greek Painters in Spain,” at the gallery “Tonasson” In 1956 again in Madrid at the gallery “Centro Asturiano,” as well as at the International Exhibition of Byzantine Art: • In 1957 at the Panhellenic Exhibition, in a group exhibition at the “Olympia” department store, as well as at the “Salon d’Automne” in Madrid. • At “Parnassos” in a solo exhibition in 1958. • In 1959 at the International Biennale. • In 1960 at the Panhellenic Exhibition. • In 1962 at the “Musée d’Art Moderne” in Paris. • In 1963 at the Panhellenic Exhibition and in a group show at the gallery “Zygos”. Also, he has participated in “Industrial Area.” One of the works exhibited by Markellos. exhibitions in Florence, at the State Italian Exhibition — where he won a silver medal — and at the Exhibition of Graduates of the National School of Fine Arts. His works — as he told us — are not an isolated and coincidental artistic act, stemming from random transformations and modern distortions, customary in our time. Starting from the study of the great museum masters — he continues — such as El Greco, Velázquez, Goya, etc., he passed through the entire historical cycle of European Art, to reach the most contemporary aesthetic problems. The goals of contemporary Art cannot be limited to thematic narration, which objectively lacks, because it has acquired a symbolic character, without losing touch with the natural environment. PAN.

Pension beneficiaries and their family members are provided with healthcare coverage by the State (provided they are not entitled to healthcare coverage for other reasons). The Legislative Decree provides for the establishment of a pension and health fund for writers and artists under the Pension Funds of Newspaper Personnel — Thessaloniki, funded by a state subsidy of 4,000,000 drachmas per year (an increase in this amount is also provided for in the budget of the current fiscal year), donations, etc. Upon the entry into force of this Legislative Decree, Legislative Decree 4598/66 is repealed, except for Article 1, paragraphs e, st, and x of Presidential Decree 582/68 which supplements it, and Presidential Decree 271/68.

Lately, the “Parnassos” has compensated us for the mediocre impression we had gathered from the various art exhibitions held there—where “painters” would absorb the footsteps of their nonexistent talent—by hosting several interesting exhibitions in its halls. Thus, after the assured technique of D. Bratsos and the sensitivity of Linakis—whose exhibition continues in the main hall—we are given the opportunity to appreciate the highly noteworthy work of the painter Markellos, which should not go unnoticed. I do not recall having seen anything by this artist before, and thus this exhibition of his is, to some extent, a revelation for me. Mr. Markellos’s presentation in this solo exhibition at “Parnassos” is, to some degree, exuberant. He exhibits many (103) paintings, so that they are crowded together, one next to the other, and the selection is not as strict as it should be, so that the impression the visitor gathers is entirely positive. Beyond this partial reservation, the artist shows us that he possesses many capabilities, his sensitivity is sharpened, and he masters his technique. At the peak of Impressionism and Modern Art, he seems to draw from the best of both and reaches a personal aesthetic result that, without falling into extremes, possesses freedom, imagination, and boldness. The Spain he presents to us is a completely different Spain from the one our own and foreign painters have shown us in their paintings over the years. He did not stop at its surface, its tourism, nor did he present it with bright colors and cheap romantic mood in every postcard. He delved into its soul, its deeper character, and without depriving it of its distinctive style and characteristic warmth, he showed us its pre-gymnastic essence. The other pictorial impressions from his travels are on the same level, and

"Nea", April 30, 1970 2 I Hear... I See... ART STUDIO OF "ANTIGONE": Phthinós, recently arrived from Paris, informs us that a sewing frenzy prevails in the apartment of Nikos Koundouros, in the artistic neighborhood of Sain-Germain-des-Prés. Tailors and seamstresses are working feverishly to prepare the costumes for the tragedy "Antigone," which Nikos will film in Morocco next July, in a contemporary adaptation by himself and Vangelis Goufas. "Confronted with today's moral and socio-political problems — say the screenwriters — our 'Antigone' will place under review the relationship between citizen and Power in the modern world." "Spoken in English, with English actors, an English production, Koundouros' 'Antigone' will be, no less strongly, the most Hellenic in both form and content. GREEKS ABROAD (I): Curiously, mixed up, we received, this time, news from Greek painters who exhibit abroad. Like Madaros, who recently had a solo exhibition at Galerie Drouant on the (aristocratic) Rue Faubourg Saint-Honoré and whose works were presented by Madame Sandrel on Channel 15 of French Television. A particular impression was made by a "Crucified by Madaros — with the artist himself crucified! This work is to be exhibited at the Salon du Marais in Paris and has already been requested by Japan, Switzerland, and America... DEATH OF AN AUTHOR: The novelist Jan Knittel died at the age of 79. Born in Switzerland, raised in England, he was famous during the interwar period. He wrote both in English and in German. He was honored with the Schiller Prize for his theatrical adaptations. GREEKS ABROAD (II): A Greek woman has — artistically — reclaimed Rimini. Her name is Anda Kourmbeti. There she studies at the School of Fine Arts, studied ceramics on a scholarship in Italy. There she stays in Rome and held a solo exhibition in Rimini. There, the myths in the Italian world. The art critic Mr. Bellirio Casali p.,

GREEKS ABROAD (II): The Greek artist Anna Kourmbeti in Rimini. She studied at the School of Fine Arts, pursued ceramics in Italy on a scholarship, exhibited in Rome, and held a solo exhibition in Rimini. The Italian press reviews were enthusiastic. Art critic Mr. Valerio Casal, among others, writes: “Anna Kourmbeti has discovered a personal mythology of the reality surrounding her and strives to express through her work a reality-myth.” GREEKS ABROAD (III): Today, April 30, the solo exhibition of the guest painter Theodore Markellos closes; it opened on April 7 at the University of “Thomas Jefferson” in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania). The works were of an abstract style and were particularly well-received in the American metropolis. The artist himself attended the closing event and has already returned to Athens. “BERENICE” BY PLANCHON: Director and playwright Roger Planchon attempted a reinterpretation and revival of Racine by staging the Roman political tragedy “Berenice.” In our scene are the three leading actors of the tragedy: Denis Mauffret, Françoise Beréck, and Samy Fra...

VISUAL ARTS NATION WORLD 9-2-1972 The Parisian Landscapes of Th. Markellos AT HIS EXHIBITION AT “PARNASSOS” With a heartfelt dedication and moving emotionalism, painter Theodoros Markellos offers a tribute to the Paris of his artistic studies through his second solo exhibition in the large hall of “Parnassos” in Athens. Under the auspices of the Hellenic-French Association, he presents approximately one hundred of his oil paintings, most of which depict views of various locations in the French capital. Markellos renders the Parisian landscapes using post-impressionist stylistic nuances, shaped in accordance with the teachings received during his training at prominent art schools in Madrid (1954–1956) and Paris (1960–1962), on a scholarship awarded after he received his diploma from the Athens School of Fine Arts in 1952 with five honors. Markellos’s participation in group exhibitions began with the Panhellenic Exhibition of 1952 and continued in other venues in Athens, Madrid, the Olympic Complex, Moscow, Paris, Florence, Rome, Milan, Vienna, and Bucharest, while his previous seven solo exhibitions took place in Madrid (1956), Athens (1958, 1967), Florence, Milan, Trieste, and at the University of Exeter in Philadelphia. By painting exclusively Paris, Markellos captures the characteristic unnatural and emotional atmosphere of the French capital with such stylistic adaptation to his defined subject matter that the impression is given that the paintings in this “Parnassos” exhibition were created by a French or international painter entirely unburdened by the traditions of Greek art and unrelated to the mindset and spiritual world of the Greeks. With masterful expressive skill and other significant fundamental painting virtues, Markellos—as evidenced by the exhibits at “Parnassos”—has directed the main interest of his art toward the creation of works of higher quality, with a lyrical tone and romantic disposition, which prevail with more vivid chromatic harmony and subtlety in his compositions featuring still-life subjects.

VISUAL ARTS "ELEFTHEROS KOSMOS" 9-2-1972 The Parisian landscapes of Th. Markellos AT THE EXHIBITION OF "PARNASSOS" The painter Theodoros Markellos offers a heartfelt tribute, imbued with moving emotion, to the Paris of his artistic studies through his two solo exhibitions in the large hall of "Parnassos" in Athens. Under the auspices of the Hellenic-French Association, he presents about a hundred of his oil paintings, most of which depict views of various spots in the French capital. The rendering of the Parisian landscapes by Markellos is executed with post-impressionistic stylistic approaches, regulated in accordance with the teachings of the training he received at higher art schools in Madrid (1954 - 1956) and Paris (1960 - 1962), on scholarships he obtained after being awarded the diploma of the Athens School of Fine Arts in 1952 with five honorary distinctions. Markellos's participation in group exhibitions began with the Panhellenic Exhibition of 1952 and continued in others in Athens, Madrid, the recently opened Olympia, Moscow, Paris, Florence, Rome, Milan, Vienna, and Bucharest, while his previous seven solo exhibitions took place in Madrid (1956), Athens (1958, 1967), Florence, Milan, Trieste, and at the University of Jefferson in Philadelphia. Painting exclusively Paris, Markellos captures the characteristics of the natural and emotional atmosphere of the French capital with such adaptation of his style to his defined subject matter that it gives the impression that the paintings in this "Parnassos" exhibition were created by a French or international painter entirely detached from the traditions of Greek art and unrelated to the mindset and spiritual world of the Greeks. With masterful expressive skill and other significant valuable painting virtues, Markellos—as seen in the exhibits at "Parnassos"—has directed the main interest of his art toward the creation of works of higher quality, with a lyrical tone of romantic disposition, which prevails with a more vibrant pulse and greater chromatic harmony and subtlety in his compositions featuring themes of 'wild natures'.

Indeed, for a very long period of time, I was given the opportunity and painted at the Greek Shipyards. I present this work today with the ambition to convey to you the intense emotions I felt there.

CRITICAL NOTE “MARKELOS” “A significant painter of the era EXHIBITION FROM THE PILLION BY K. NIKOS GALAZIS The painter Markellos is known for his paintings. They pass through the soul of the artist, to be captured on an orgiastic scale of emotion and color. Master of technique, he shows in the perfection of the selection of the viewpoint where he sets his easel. The siege of Time. His work breathes serenity. It appears from the first glance. It transports you to places of orgiastic delight, the melancholic roofs, the paved squares. The Pousi drags itself through the ravines and houses. The squares with the fountains. His themes are carefully chosen. They evoke feelings of loneliness, longing, earthly paradise, abandonment, corners, warmth. You feel the rain, the clouds, the mist, the twilight, the sunshine, the presence of man, without him necessarily appearing. The artist tries to convey the atmosphere, the light, the play of weather. You have the impression that his mist is not static, but living and moving. The objects of his processing THE RESEARCH by G. I. PAPASOTIRIOU 4-12-1976 N. GLAZIS

The well-known painter Th. Markellos inaugurates his solo exhibition at the French Institute in Thessaloniki on Monday at 7:30 p.m. The theme of the exhibition is Paris. The exhibition will last until December 22 and will resume from January 9–13 after the holidays. Markellos, a graduate of the Athens School of Fine Arts, studied on scholarships at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in Madrid (1954–1956) and at the Ecole Nationale Des Beaux-Arts in Paris (1960–1962). He has held numerous solo exhibitions in Athens, Madrid, Florence, Milan, Trieste, Philadelphia, etc. He has participated in international exhibitions where he was awarded prizes (in Moscow in 1957 and in Italy in 1963). His works are held in many collections in Greece and abroad, including the Hellenic Parliament and the National Gallery, among others. The photograph shows a characteristic work by the painter.

ALEXANDROUPOLIS WEDNESDAY 30 MARCH 1977 The Humanism of an Exhibition By FOIVOS MALAMA In our previous article titled “A Comforting Sign,” we discussed the enduring humanism among the painters of the Artists’ Exchange Association, who exhibited their works in our city from March 26 to April 3. Once again, while walking through the exhibition space on its final day, we confirmed the accuracy of the above observation. If one excludes Dili Archioti, who engages in perfect abstraction, approaching Alfred Manessa in style, and who would have further alienated us from the world were it not for her strong desire to communicate with us by conveying the emotion that moved her in her compositions—to reduce the inherent quality of abstract painting to alienate us from the objects and forms of life—the other artists are clearly attached to the shapes of the latter as we see and feel them. Taking them one by one and analyzing their works, we could perhaps outline their main characteristics in a few broad strokes, reserving the right to say a concluding word at the end. ...to submit, through the kinship of the brightness of the shades, an invisible connection of the elements of the painting. Gr. Evklidis, with his somewhat broken colors—as in watercolor—gives a hazy atmosphere to his work, in contrast to Vass. Spiliotopoulos, whose “Picnic,” constituting a festival of intense colors, offers us the tangible earthy mood of an excursion to the countryside. Th. Markellos and I. Sergoulis are probably the most representational, faithful to the depiction of reality, painters, with the unimaginable warmth that the paintings of the former exude and the Mediterranean brilliance of the atmosphere of the latter, which sometimes emphasizes the outlines of the objects, when it somewhat recedes, and sometimes confuses them by covering them with a veil of luminosity, when it is at its peak. Even Arg. Stylianidis, with his

Friday, September 7, 1979 2 I HEAR... ...I SEE ★ THE TURKS ARE LOOTING CYPRIOT ANTIQUITIES. This is not, of course, a new finding; the Athenian News Agency reported another incident yesterday. The Department of Antiquities of Cyprus announced that the Cyprus Museum recently acquired a unique clay idol from the 13th century, depicting a horse with a rider. The clay idol was smuggled out of the Turkish-occupied area and appeared on the London market. The British Museum notified the Director of the Department of Antiquities of Cyprus, who purchased the idol for the Museum for 4,200 pounds, paid by the Cypriot Ambassador to UNESCO, Mr. K. Leventis. Thus, the stolen idol returned to its homeland. ★ A TASTE OF VENICE: The legendary city of the Doges is presented with a different sensibility through the paintings of Theodoros Markellos, which are currently on display in the solo exhibition of the distinguished painter at the “Collection” art gallery (4 V. Sofias). “The works I am presenting in this exhibition,” he says in the catalog, “are a revisit to the Venices I painted during three trips I made there over time. It is a unity, which, as always, I am accustomed to presenting in my exhibitions, attempting to convey not only my emotions in this space, but to make the visitors of my exhibitions travel emotionally with me to the places I express at any given time... With my Venices, I try to interpret a unique space whose appearance the centuries have not been able to change, aesthetically.” In the past, Markellos has repeatedly presented such thematic unities: Istanbul, Paris, Pelion, Shipyards, Islands of Thessaloniki — and this interesting exhibition...

Wednesday December 5, 1979 IDENTITIES IDENTITIES PASSED through Athens and the president of the committee is the Member of the European Parliament Mr. MARTIN BATKEMAN. He was born in Metzingen, West Germany, in 1934. He studied Law at the Universities of Tübingen and Munich. A Doctor of Law, he initially worked as a lawyer. Former general secretary of the Free Democratic Party (FDP) of the Federal Republic of Germany. Member of the party’s executive committee. He has been a member of the European Parliament since 1973. Since 1975, he has been deputy chairman of the Liberal Democratic Group in the European Parliament. Married. He has five children. WITH an invitation from the First Lady of France, Marquise de Foule, the French fashion master LOUIS FERRERO arrived in Athens. The French designer presented new models during a charity show at the French Embassy. The proceeds from the show were donated to the “Btera” center. He was born in 1920 in Gannay. He is self-taught. FIFTY paintings that he made in Venice are currently being presented at the “Collection” gallery by the painter THEODOROS MARKELOS. The artist was born in Athens in 1925. He received his diploma from the National School of Fine Arts with five honors in 1952. He studied on a scholarship, 1954–1956, at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts San Fernando in Madrid and 1960–1962, in Paris, also on a scholarship. His works are also held in the National Gallery, ministries, embassies, banks, and private collections in Greece and abroad. SUCCESS was achieved last week at the Lyric Opera by MARIA SKARLATOU, who appeared in the role of Rosalinda in Johann Strauss’s “Die Fledermaus.” The artist was born

A graphic, physical presence of Greece. The artist was not drawn into the printed poetry for which his subject matter is so well suited. In his paintings, he mostly attempts to capture representatively and to suggest the nature that is hidden in old buildings, in the waters and the sky. Houses, palaces, waterways with boats and gondolas, with a world that is not often shown in paintings, or rather, inseparable from the environment, hold in every molecule the breath of people and the mys- terious pulse of events and of the images of the past. The artist conveyed the radiance of both and in the two-toned atmospheres, he struggled to express it through painting. The gate of a neighborhood with its ancient doors, a dusk, a twilight somewhere, stir the emotion and warm it until creation sparks or glows. The style of these paintings is more or less free brushwork. The colors and shades, red, brown, yellow, dark, cyan and blue-green, olive, compose a tangible result, more or less vibrant depending on the subject. I mention a few representative works: “Sunset.” Within the serenity of a shadowy whole, where red is emphasized, there are houses and a gondola. “Palace” (palazzo) under construction. In the brownish hue that dominates, the building, reddish and whitish, resembles a drama. “Sunset in Murano.” Houses, canals. “Palace.” Characteristic with the kinesthetics of the tested doors according to his own vision, the creaking balcony that spans the entire Canal of the house. Winter on the Grand Canal. Cyan domes, in the water, palaces for the gondolas. Olive-colored neighborhood. From here and there, a canal with boats, a three-story landscape, with some figure in a window, a tree, and next to it, a lower, strange building with dark doors and steps leading into the canal. Opposite, a three-story building, reddish, yellowish, with attics and chimneys. At the Venetian Exhibition, T.M. also displayed three large, older oil paintings of his, which in some way, vary or rather, despite their self-contained expression, disrupt the visual landscape of the hall. One is a self-portrait of the artist, with a palace, whose entrance harmonizes with the surroundings. The other, Venetian palaces, brings to mind that somewhere there, in one of the aristocratic or wealthy houses, the spacious old man reflects on his life and on what he did. He wears a rich brown sack, something red underneath and his thick mustache falls down. One hand is resting behind on the back of the chair and in his tense expression with half-closed eyes, it is as if all the years of Venice have gathered together. The third oil painting, of a woman, is a wonderful nude, a work from the artist’s stay in Spain. The young woman has her hands behind her back and her slender nude body turned to the right, with eyes that glance sideways as if slightly wild beneath the somewhat disheveled curls that fall from both sides, with barely visible on the left their movement. She has a gold drachma on her arm and the path of the sea gives with IDO - there reddish shades, that give you greater vitality. One of the daughters of Cordoba or Seville, with Andalusian and Moorish blood. EPAM. KAOURIS "KALITHEA" 6-9-1980

SUNDAY FREE HOUR — IO TOM PERSEA ATHENAIOS — MARKELLOS A very impressive artistic presence at the “ART ROOM” on Vas. Sofias Avenue 4. The well-known painter from Kalymnos, Nisyros, Kos, and Mykonos. Especially the summer landscapes of Rhodes offer a cheerful image of life, intensified by the vibrant colors given by the golden light of the Aegean sun. With the experience and stability of his palette, the artist, through a harmonious and balanced coexistence of his mathematical drawing with color, has captured the charm—natural, historical, and architectural—of many familiar landmarks of the sunny island of Rhodes, from the old town to the new, from the coastlines where sunlight and narrow streets create a lyrical mood, emphasizing the traditional houses and old balconies, blending landscape harmony with sunlight and narrow alleys through a design of line and color. All these picturesque elements, rendered with precise lines, create a lyrical atmosphere, a poetry emerging from calm colors and mathematically defined light and shadow. With this expressive style and medium, the artist, characterized by sensitivity and sincerity, has created this entire interesting new series of works, which exude a clear sensitivity, a luminosity, a cohesion of light and color that radiates from the natural brightness and grace they create. One sees with what artistry and skill the artist has captured natural light in each of his works, creating a pictorial complex of realism and classicism. The personal harmony in the composition of each subject is evident. Each painting communicates. Each emotion of the painter is conveyed to the viewer. You see how the artist has managed to transform his subject into water, into a fairy tale, transferring to the visitor, in an essential way, the atmosphere of each place that moves him. Poetry is every corner, not just the verse. Poetry is everything that the artist transfers, touching the human soul. A poet-painter with emotional processes. It is MARKELLOS, who has design and color in our psychological and mystical embrace, with design and color in the painterly drawing from natural colors. In the representational depiction of space and objects, one discerns, along with some intense dreaminess, the difference between natural accuracy and its geometric proof, from Markellos lies in the distance the painterly subject keeps from its reality. The rose we speak of nature and life that surround him. The natural light shines, iridescent design from natural colors. Art.

T. MARKELOS Gallery “Collection” N. Alexiou The well-known painter Markellos presents his works at the Gallery “Collection”. The paintings on display were created over the last two years and represent a confirmation that, without altering his painterly vision, the artist aims for the completeness and energy of his stylistic concerns. As a person, Markellos is monastic, isolated, and strives to glide silently through the world. For years he has served exclusively and solely art, because it is the only thing that defines his existence. He says that his dialogue with people and with reality in general is mediated within him only through art. Thus, his painting is also the only connection between his ego and the outside world. From this standpoint, he respects reality and seeks its visual representation to be as accurate as possible, in order to convey the immediate emotion it provokes in him. However, Markellos’s painting does not end in a premeditated and subservient imitation of the “seen”. Because his visual temperament finds within raw reality plastic values, chromatic orchestrations, poetic lighting foci, and compositional rhythms. It is these internal processes of Markellos that give his representational art a distinctiveness, a sense of tranquility, and the euphoria of the soul, because it manages to peel away the transient shell of things.

MARKELOS AT THE HELLENIC-AMERICAN ASSOCIATION, OLGA VALIAZA AT “HINIOXOS”, CERAMICS BY ERSI KYLONIA AT “YDROXOS”, ETC. The painter Theodore Markellos, known from many of his exhibitions, including those abroad, inaugurates at around 7 p.m. in the art room of the Hellenic-American Association (22 Massalias Street) his new painting exhibition, titled “Mountain Greece”. The 51 works presented in the exhibition are inspired by various mountainous regions of our homeland, from Souli to Dimitsana and from Pindus to Kastania. Markellos, describing the mechanism of his creation, notes that “the emotions that operated in this specific space — landscape, people, objects organized in ‘still lifes’ — an attempt was made to interpret and present them in a unity that creates a cohesive atmosphere”. The exhibition will run until 9 December, from Monday to Friday, during the hours 10:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. and 6-9:30 p.m. “Mountain Landscape”, a work by Th. Markellos, from the exhibition “Mountain Greece”.

When you have money in Greece, you can become whatever you want... In this rotten place, everything is for sale... THERE are a few "Galleries" in Athens that until now considered themselves "serious" and stubbornly refused to accept established artists, graduates, scholars, award winners who have participated in international exhibitions and whose works have been accepted by the National Gallery, on the grounds that these "Galleries" only accept artists "of very high quality!" And this excuse was stated as elegantly as possible so as not to brutally offend those interested... NOW, however, we recently see: THE SHIPOWNER Goulandris exhibiting at the well-known Art Gallery in Dexameni. THE daughter of the big merchant Karera exhibiting at the Zoumpoulakis Gallery in Kolonaki Square, and MRS. Kerani, daughter of an industrialist, at the Argo Gallery... WE ASK therefore the owners of the above "serious" Galleries who for so many years categorically refused to lend their spaces to ESTABLISHED, but outside-the-circle artists, when did the above beginner painters, or rather scribblers, become "great artists" and get hosted in their Galleries... "WHAT is this ... damn money doing... Overnight it can turn shipowners, industrialists, and businessmen into "great artists," with the help (always, of course, for a fee) of the "distinguished" Galleries and the lobbying of the press and the sold-out critics... AND of course, there is no need to say that all these ... "masterpieces" of the "high" but filthy society will be sold at high prices and the owners of the Galleries will make a killing, since they take 30% and more of the selling price. AURIA, 13-3-1987

NEA, Monday, June 1, 1987 AND ARTS “The Best Panhellenic” The Panhellenic Exhibition of Fine Arts, the premier visual arts event of this year, which occupied the artistic news cycle for quite some time and provoked varied reactions within the visual arts community, is now a reality. Now that the exhibition has been “set up,” impressions have settled, and reactions have subsided, “NEA” asked painter Nikos Kessanlis, who served as chairman of the jury, to speak about the representativeness of the tendencies present and the utility of the exhibition as an institution. “This year’s Panhellenic is the best of any in the past and the most ‘open’ to new forms of artistic expression, which were so fiercely fought against in the past by creeping conservatism. The aesthetic tendencies documented here provide a complete panorama of today’s visual reality.” The intermediate generation of well-known painters aged 40 to 50 is noticeably absent from this year’s Panhellenic. Regarding this absence, Mr. Kessanlis says: “Artists such as Theofylaktopoulos, Botzoglu, and others of their generation did not submit their works for judging. Perhaps they were waiting for an invitation, but the age limit for such an invitation was 50 years.” Regarding the controversial issue of honorary invitations, Mr. Kessanlis reveals that he was the one who proposed it, fearing that older, established painters would not agree to undergo judging, resulting in not all aesthetic tendencies being represented at the exhibition. Ultimately, however, he concludes that “the system of invitations did not work 100%, given that many major painters, among them N. Hadjikyriakos-Ghikas, G. Spyropoulos, and G. Moralis, did not accept them.” And he concludes: “The result, undoubtedly, justifies those present and not those absent.” Regarding the functionality of the Panhellenic exhibition institution within today’s visual arts reality, Mr. Kessanlis judges that “populist mass exhibitions are outdated.” However, to save the Panhellenic as an institution, given that artists do not have many similar opportunities, “it must encompass a broad range of tendencies and be repositioned on new foundations.” At this point, Mr. Kessanlis proposes: “First of all, its name must change, and separate spaces for each artistic tendency must be established within it, so that art lovers have the opportunity to appreciate the quality of the work, which fits into a specific ideological framework.” Furthermore, speaking about the work of the jury, Mr. Kessanlis points out: “Certainly, some mistakes were made. The judges, as artists, have certain preferences that hinder their impartiality. Let us not forget that art is not a science, and therefore, everyone’s right cannot be proven. However, for good exhibitions to take place, there should be no social or union-based influences.” “The fact that 80% of the submitted works were rejected means that their quality did not withstand the conscience of the judges. They were works suitable for exhibition at EOMMEX and not at the Panhellenic.” Finally, criticizing the stance of the Chamber of Visual Arts on the issue of the Panhellenic, Mr. Kessanlis says: “It wanted to play the late role of an artistic body instead of limiting itself only to the responsibilities it has as a union organization.” SOFIA PAPADIMOU

EXHIBITION BY OUR FELLOW CITIZEN, PAINTER TH. MARKELOS, AT THE “ARGO” GALLERY IN ATHENS The painter Markellos at the gallery where he is exhibiting. The exhibition by our distinguished fellow citizen, painter Theodoros Markellos, at the “Argo” gallery on Merlin Street in Athens was a great success. A large number of artists – including many from Corinth – visited the exhibition to admire the stunning paintings, in which art reigns supreme. The success was significant, as an artist who has been honored abroad many times deserves to be honored by the Greek community as well. “NEA EPOCHI” of Corinth, 29-2-88

THE WORLD OF EXHIBITIONS Landscape by Th. Markellos At Gallery “Argyr”, painter Theodoros Markellos, born in 1925 and a graduate of the School of Fine Arts, is exhibiting. This is a particularly interesting case, based on the possibilities of a “Cézannesque” expressionism of great expressive power. Markellos shapes his world through color (modulation), which is not only his most important tool, but also his most essential means of expression. And man, this world is dynamic, active, more precisely in a continuous “becoming.” The contrasts of tones are intense, as is always the case with painting that does not seek to reproduce nature, but to interpret it. Work by Christina Zervou Thus, the image becomes subjective: it is the deeply personal experience of a sensitive individual who does not merely look to grasp what exists around him, but imposes his own stamp upon it. Certainly, over the years, Markellos has acquired a marked ease in formulating his themes. Great comfort removes anything forced from his paintings. Nowhere does he “stumble.” Everything flows and is shaped with naturalness and persuasiveness. Only what is expressively significant is retained, and thus detail is bypassed, while the abstract tendency ultimately weaves together a whole of chromatic keys.

Visual Arts News Art with the breath of perestroika EXHIBITION OF 11 SOVIET PAINTERS AND MANY OTHER GREEK ARTISTS OPENED IN ATHENS The visual arts interest is renewed this week with the exhibition at Gallery “Kostakis” of forty works by artists from the Soviet Union who have been inspired by “Perestroika.” Simultaneously, many individual painting exhibitions are being organized: by Theodoros Notias at the Municipal Theater of Piraeus, by Theodoros Markellos at Gallery “Argo,” by Edward Sakayan at the “Ora” art space, by Spyros Moschoutis at Gallery “Demokritos,” as well as photographs by Stelios Skopelitis at the National Gallery, marking the first days of February. In more detail: • Eleven artists inspired by “Perestroika” and the wind of renewal blowing through Soviet life and art present their works at Gallery “Kostakis” (54 Dexamenis Street). The exhibition is titled: “Soviet Art Today.” “By using the word ‘today’ — the organizers note in their statement — we wish to emphasize the new impulses and trends of modern Soviet art.” The exhibiting artists come from different regions and represent diverse mindsets and schools. The paintings are predominantly figurative, and in some, traces of traditional Russian religious iconography can be recognized. • “Images from Gas” is the title of the photography exhibition by Stelios Skopelitis, which will open next Tuesday (8 p.m.) at the National Gallery and run until February 28. Additionally, the following Monday, a sculpture and drawing exhibition by Michalis Lekakis will open in the same venue. • A selection of his work, featuring landscapes from the Greek region, still lifes, and figures, will be presented by painter Theodoros Markellos at Gallery “Argo” (8 Merlin Street) until February 20. His works are characterized by formal clarity, simplicity, and chromatic lucidity. A graduate of the School of Fine Arts, Theodoros Markellos has held 21 solo exhibitions to date and participated in numerous group shows. His works have been awarded prizes in Russia and Italy, while many are held in the collections of the National Gallery, the Parliament, the Municipal Gallery, and others. • Psychological human states, often reaching tragedy, are expressed in an expressionist manner in the works of painter Edward Sakayan. His works feature the human figure in real or imaginary spaces. A student of the Athens School of Fine Arts (ASKT) under the tutelage of D. Mytaras and G. Moralis, Edward Sakayan presents his third solo exhibition at the “Ora” Art Center (7 Xenophon Street). • Painter Spyros Moschoutis operates between symbolic realism and abstract expressionism. He draws inspiration from the space of his painting studio. His works will be on display from February 8 to 20 at the “Demokritos” Gallery (24 Demokritos Street). • Two exhibitions — a solo show by Mona Novotna-Kougioumtzi and a group exhibition — will open next Monday at the “Epiplea” Art Space (11 Xanthippos Street). Her works include sculptures, wall reliefs, and paintings painted and engraved on ceramic plates. She uses colored clays fired at high temperatures for their creation. The exhibition will remain open until February 20. • With twenty-eight years of presence in the visual arts scene, painter Theologou Palaiologos exhibits this time at the “Third Eye” Gallery (33 Xenokratous Street), from February 2 to 20. • Painter and iconographer Dimitris Tiganitis will present works of Byzantine iconography at the “Parnassos” Literary Society (8 Ag. Georgiou Karitsi Square), from next Monday until February 15. • Three young painters, Maria Papadopoulou, Giorgos Bournazakis, and Maria Liakou, exhibit at the “F” Art Space (12 Fokylidou Street). The exhibition is characterized by an aesthetic environment shaped by the artists’ paintings and a visual art installation — a bar by M. Liakou. • Decorative wall tapestries are presented at the Home Economics Center of the National Welfare Organization (135 Vasilissis Sofias Avenue). Many of the tapestries reproduce works by well-known Greek painters, such as Hadjikyriakos-Ghika, G. Tsarouchis, G. Moralis, and Sp. Vasileiou, and have been awarded gold medals at international exhibitions. • Works by painter Mark Sharpeny will be on display from February 3 to 26 at the French Institute of Athens (31 Sina Street). “Portrait” of Larisa Naumona, from the exhibition of Soviet artists. Art Gallery “El Greco” (193 L. Syngrou Avenue). The themes of the solo exhibition, drawn from the life of Athens, its streets, old houses, and shops, most often recount an incident captured by the eye of painter Moni Novotni-Kougioumtzi during her wanderings through the city’s streets. The group exhibition features works in painting, sculpture, and engraving by artists: Pan. Archolekas, Ath. Kalfopoulos, St. Koukoulaki, V. Mavros, Chr. Mourtzios, Vi6. Papadimitriou, Kir. Perivolaris, and L. Spilioti. KATHIMERINI 30.1.1988

January 31, 1988 Selections from the exhibitions Markellos at “Argo” THE POLITICAL OF THE SELF of the sym Interview with The discussion with Nikos Kikilias, held during the Panhellenic exhibition of contemporary art, took place last summer in that prepared “white cell” by the artist, that taste of our introduction into a visionary community of counter-reactions, such as those tending to merge by touching the edges of existence. Initially, the process of wandering through the dark “labyrinth,” enhanced logically by the vocal transformations and echoes of the visitor-participants, then the unexpected openings of visual access to the remaining exhibition space, guided us with steps of anxiety, almost, toward the end. At the “Argo” gallery, until February 20, the painter Theodoros Markellos is exhibiting. His luminous color gamuts, combined with a characteristic refined spontaneity and simultaneously a controlled exercise of color perception.

The painter Theodoros Markellos is a landscape artist par excellence who will present his work starting Monday, January 29, at the “Argo” Gallery, located at 64E Digeni Akrita Avenue in Lefkosia. This significant and representative solo exhibition of his art will be inaugurated by the Minister of Defence, Mr. Andreas Aloniotis. The painter was born in Athens in 1925. He received his diploma from the Athens School of Fine Arts in 1953, earning the unique distinction of excellence in the diploma examinations. In total, he received five distinctions. His achievements brought him a series of scholarships to Madrid and Paris, where he completed an enviable level of visual arts education. He has presented his work in more than 20 solo exhibitions in Greece, Spain, Italy, and the United States. He was awarded prizes at international competitions in Russia and Italy. His works are held in the National Gallery of Athens, the Hellenic Parliament, the Municipal Gallery of Thessaloniki, the Ioannis Vourlis Government Museum, embassies, banks, and other public and private collections. Regarding the art of Theodoros Markellos, the well-known art critic Nikos Alexiou notes: The painting of Theodoros Markellos is sober, robust, and structured. His painting, even in its mere appearance, reveals visual arts education. As drawing, composition, coloring, and lighting, it deeply demonstrates the correct, profound knowledge of visual language. All that colorful learning, the long-term studies abroad, and particularly in Spain, formed a stable underground of respect for knowledge, of the honesty that plastic creation demands. Working on painting for so many decades, Markellos remains steadfast and unshakable regarding life and the world. He believes in the objective existence of life, and his art moves within its free representation. It is characteristic that Markellos, amidst the so devastating upheaval of our era concerning the mission of art, did not succumb to the plundered abyss of the paranoid, the irrational, and metaphysical impulses.

THEODOROS MARKELOS Born in Athens in 1925. He received his diploma from the Athens School of Fine Arts in 1953, earning the unique honorary distinction of the diploma examinations. In total, he was awarded five honorary distinctions. With a scholarship, he also studied at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in Madrid and later at the Paris School of Fine Arts. To date, he has held 21 solo exhibitions in Greece, Spain, Italy, and the United States, participated in 9 Panhellenic Exhibitions, numerous group exhibitions in Greece and abroad, and 8 international exhibitions. He was awarded prizes in Russia and Italy. His works are held in the National Gallery, the Hellenic Parliament, the Municipal Gallery of Thessaloniki, the Governorate of Thessaloniki, the Boros Museum, embassies, banks, and other public and private collections. Many critics have written about his painting. Nikos Alexiou wrote: “Markellos’ work is accessible to both the general viewer and the aesthetically specialized, because it encompasses a positive stance that, through the absolute dominance of its expressive means, carries us into a space where the heart moves calmly and the mind remains sober.” The critic and director of the Revoltella Museum wrote about a Markellos exhibition in Italy: “Markellos is a painter who is spontaneous in his impulsiveness, resembling Fauvism. The controlled exercise of his painting perception is traversed with dexterity and speed by various color gamuts with an impulsive brushwork. He accurately captures the atmosphere and light changes of spaces, which he interprets with an alternating variety. He has a consistent method of composition and interpretation that is very personal.” The critic Mariano Tomas wrote in the newspaper “Madrid” about an exhibition in the Spanish capital: “Markellos is very bright in color and very generous in luminosity without reaching the point of being hurtful. He feels the landscape of Castile with more warmth than some masters of today’s painting.” Gallery Argos invites you to the opening of the exhibition of the painter THEODOROS MARKELOS on Monday, February 1, at 7:30 in the evening. Duration until February 20, 1988. Gallery Argos, Merlin 8, 106 71 Athens, tel. 3622.662 Visits: morning 10-2, afternoon 6-9 (Saturday afternoon, Sunday closed)

Charikleia Hatzisavva-Photiou, twenty-four years ago. This group exhibition features 37 distinguished artists with a strong visual presence, presenting 170 of their works, which create an interesting exhibition result. CULTURAL CENTER OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF ATHENS The painting exhibition of the Association of Artistic Exchanges of Greece is dedicated to its founder, Charikleia Hatzisavva- Photiou. Charikleia Hatzisavva-Photiou studied painting and engraving at the Athens School of Fine Arts (A.S.K.T.) under the tutelage of K. Parthenis and G. Kafallinos, and continued her studies in Paris at the Academies “Grande Chau- miere” 1959-1961 with professor André Lot (1959) and Notre Dame de Champs 1964-1965. She was awarded the “Grand Prix Othon Friesz” Paris 1962 and “Prix de la ville de Paris Artistique et Litteraire” Paris 1959, “Prix de l’association culturelle de XXème siecle” Cannes, etc. In 1962, Charikleia Hatzisavva-Photiou founded the Association of Artistic Exchanges of Greece and since then has worked tirelessly to organize exhibitions in Greece (Athens, Thessaloniki, Alexandroupoli), France (Paris, Amiens, Salon Libre 1965-1972 and at the Salon Comparaison in 1982), Cairo 1979. With her passing, the Association, and the art space in general, lost a distinguished artist and a dynamic personality. Today, entrusted with her duties, we continue her work. Concluding this note, I would like to warmly thank for their support in realizing this exhibition, the Mayor of Athens, Mr. D. Bey, and the Deputy Mayor for Culture, Ms. Eleni Dori.

Kanas primarily seeks the picturesque and lyrical tone of the island and the sea. The expressionists are numerous, and for them, expressionism most often concerns the intensification of color tones. However, there are also cases of coarse chromatic erasure. Giorgos Drizos, Theodoros Markellos, and Takis Darzentas insist on the plastic chromatic transformation of reality, while Evangelos Petritzis proceeds to more abstract expressionist erasures. Alexandra Mavrogordatu-Petritzi and Dimitris Tiniakos are also counted among the expressionists. Thanasis Stefopoulos, Paris Prekas, Meropi Stefanatu-Preka, and Kiki Typaldou-Laskaratu offer a typical example of an abstract approach to the island landscape, with clarity of planes and purity of forms. Maria Poup and Takis Sideris provide a typical example of a naïve approach, with bright, warm tones. Through this multifaceted prism of possibilities, the island world is presented in the multiple reactions it creates in its sensitive observers. What matters is each individual’s personal relationship, the anxiety and struggle to overcome the picturesque and the incredible conventionality of the landscape, in order to grasp its true visual values, which are unique and perhaps the most characteristic for the Greek context. On the other hand, one should not overlook the fact of the aforementioned artists’ obsession with purely Greek themes, which interpret and express Greek reality. Their concerns are therefore not general but specific, and they are related less to the factor of time than to the factor of place. This phenomenon is not characteristic of the spirit of the times (Zeitgeist), and without necessarily linking it to the often misunderstood “Greekness” of Greek art, it should be viewed as an attempt to reconnect man with his environment, with which he wishes to identify. Thus, in this effort, one can see a somewhat optimistic message: a return to our own world, which the more one discovers it, the more one loves it, the more one is enchanted by its uniqueness, its psyche, and its purity. Painting in such a case is an internal dialogue and leads to deep sympathy and understanding.

INVITATION Dear Art Lovers, The DADA Art Gallery inaugurates its new exhibition space at 6 Nireidon Street, behind the National Gallery. Hoping for your continued support and interest in our exhibitions, We invite you on Wednesday, October 1, 1986, at 8:00 p.m., to the opening of the inaugural exhibition titled: “Greek Island Landscape.” Warmly, EVA GKIOKA KOSTAS EVAGGELATOS Exhibition duration: October 1–19, 1986 Visiting hours: Daily: 10:30–1:30 & 6:30–9:30 Saturday & Sunday: 11:00–2:00 Closed Monday mornings. “The islands of Greece, oh enchanted islands...” The famous poem by Lord Byron is confirmed by all who visit the Greek islands. They feel the incredible magic that characterizes them and leave with a sense of nostalgia that never fades. The coexistence of all natural elements gives them something primordial. The sea, the rocky land, the winds, and the abundant light create a world that retains the imprint of the first day of creation. Yet, this very pure world appeared inaccessible and “closed to itself” to painters of the past, mainly from an artistic perspective. Here, the landscape is so complete that it does not easily lend itself to subjectivization, while the fixed outlines, the harshness of the light, and the strong contrasts contain something anti-pictorial. This was also emphasized by the first notable painters who attempted to depict the Greek, and particularly the island, landscape. The views of Baron Otto Magnus Freiherr von Stackelberg are well known (see Gerhard Rodenwaldt, O.M. Freiherr von Stackelberg. Der Entdecker der griechischen Landschaft. Munich 1959, p. 32), as are those of Carl Rottmann, who came to Greece specifically to depict Greek landscapes. In 1834, he wrote to his friend Karl Freiherr von Heideck that: “for a landscape painter, the Greek landscape is inaccessible.” One could argue that foreigners, coming from a completely different natural environment, cannot adapt to and understand the new and peculiar visual image offered to them here, but roughly the same thing happened with the Greeks. Rare are the cases of 19th-century Greek painters who engaged with the Greek landscape and truly succeeded. Moreover, the Greek “academics” approached it not as natives, but through the eyes of Western Europeans. Things changed at the beginning of the 20th century. The painter-poets, primarily Konstantinos Parthenis and Michalis Ekonomou, approached the Greek island landscape not as a reality to be rendered into a painted image, but as a poetic vision. Only poetry can essentially interpret the island landscape, and only it is capable of transmuting their image without betraying it. Some of Parthenis’s landscapes, such as the famous one from Corfu (private collection), together with the dreamlike conceptions of Michalis Ekonomou, achieve what ancient wisdom demanded of painting: to be “silent poetry.” Opposed to this poetic disposition was that of Nikolaos Lytras and Konstantinos Maleas. These painters “intensify the tension” of colors, and the cultivated expressionism leads to a different kind of alienation. Thus, it becomes apparent that without alienation, the depiction of the Greek island landscape is not convincing. This is why its realistic treatment, even through photography, offers images with the character of postcards. Alienation that does not betray, that does not distort the character of the island landscape, but interprets it: this is the new position, which is increasingly validated by notable artists up to our days. Alienation can certainly be achieved in many ways. It can be lyrical, expressionist, cubist, as in the case of Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghika in the depiction of Hydra; it can even be abstract (as in the case of Yulika Lakeridou) and generally adapts to the disposition and stylistic manner of the artist. The exhibited works reveal aspects of the approach to the island landscape, subjective aspects that, precisely for this reason, do not only disclose the image of a particular place, but also the experiential emotion that this place evoked in its depictor. In any case, as already mentioned, the categories of alienation, however different they may be from one another, can be grouped into certain very general patterns: the lyrical landscapists, the expressionists, the realists, the abstract artists, etc., are distinguished. Among the lyrical painters, for example, belong Rallis Kopsidis, who reaches surrealist associations, Sarantis Karavouzis, and Tasos Hatzis, with references to a metaphysical style. Here, the stage-like, metaphysical landscape painting of Gerassimos Steri should also be mentioned, one of the most original minds in modern Greek painting. Orestis Kanelis, in turn, seeks the particular moment in time when everything is suspended between the real and the extra-real. Markos Venias, Michalis Georgas, Michalis Makroulakis, as well as Stathis Petropoulos and Apostolos Kyritsis, move within a spectrum of poetic transmutation of reality, without distorting it, but seeking to extract its transcendent meaning. Venias, in particular, with his golden or silver fields, creates a style of a metaphysical-lyrical type. The compositions of Zoi Skiadaresi are also lyrical and airy. Antonis

Theodoros Markellos When I first happened to find myself in a shipyard, I was so deeply impressed by the color, the colossal dimensions of the facilities and structures, the movement, and the intensity of life in that space, that I felt an irresistible need to give expression to my emotions by working there. Thus, for a very long period, I was given the opportunity to paint in Greek shipyards. It is my wish that this work conveys to you the same emotions that I myself experienced.

He graduated from the National School of Fine Arts with five honors in 1952. He studied on scholarship at the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid from 1954 to 1956, and in Paris from 1960 to 1962, also on scholarship, at the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts. He has lived in Athens since 1963. His works are held in the National Gallery, ministries, embassies, banks, and private collections in Greece and abroad.

In this exhibition, I present works created in the mountainous regions of our homeland. The emotions evoked by this specific setting—the landscape, the people, and objects arranged in "still lifes"—were interpreted and presented as a unified whole, aiming to create a cohesive psychological atmosphere. Thus, over time, I have exhibited "units" such as Spain, Paris, Pindus, Shipyards, the Aegean Islands, Venice, the Dodecanese, and now Mountainous Greece, hoping for an aesthetic impact. 15. Th.

ASSOCIATION FOR ARTISTIC EXCHANGES GREECE in collaboration with the MINISTRY OF CULTURE AND SCIENCES EXHIBITION OF CONTEMPORARY GREEK PAINTING (Achelodroupoli) Komotini 1982

Within the framework of the objectives pursued by the Association for Artistic Exchanges of Greece, is also the presentation of Greek contemporary Art within our country. The Association, since its founding in 1963 and before as a group from 1959, has organized many exhibitions abroad (Paris for 15 consecutive years, Amiens in France, Cairo), as well as in our country (Athens, Thessaloniki, Alexandroupoli). We believe that by presenting the works of Greek Artists and generally Greek Art, there is an elevation of our artistic level.

The main objective of the Hellenic Society for Artistic Exchanges is to promote contemporary Greek art both within and beyond the country’s borders. Since its establishment in 1963, and even before that year, from 1959 as a simple group of artists, it has organized numerous exhibitions with increasing success both in Greece (Athens, Thessaloniki, Alexandroupoli) and abroad (annual in Paris for fifteen years, Amiens, Cairo). With sound judgment, the Society is convinced that the presence of works by Greek artists and, more broadly, of contemporary Greek art in various regions and artistic movements around the world will effectively contribute to raising the artistic level of the country. Critics, both national and foreign, have been very favorable toward the works presented by the Society, which demonstrate the high level achieved by contemporary Greek art. The Spanish Cultural Institute in Athens has the pleasure of contributing to the high goals of the Society by presenting in its halls an exhibition of paintings by its members, and thanks the Board of Directors and especially its President, Mrs. Charikleia Chatzisava-Fotiou, for this initiative of collaboration.

Chatzigaki Maria Within the framework of the pursued purpose of the Hellenic Society for Artistic Exchanges is the presence of Greek contemporary art abroad and in our country. Since its establishment in 1963, and previously as a group from 1959, it has held many exhibitions abroad (Paris for 15 consecutive years, Amiens in France, Cairo) as well as in our country (Athens, Thessaloniki, Alexandroupoli) with great success. By presenting the works of Greek artists and, more broadly, Greek art within the context of international artistic currents, we contribute to the elevation of our artistic standards. Critiques from both foreign and local press have always been favorable, with flattering comments for the Greek artists who demonstrate the high caliber of Greek art. We believe that, alongside these artistic exchanges, our goals are on the most successful path. With this presentation of works by contemporary Greek artists in the rooms of the Spanish Embassy, kindly made available, we add yet another success to the artistic activities of the K.A.E. Society. We thank Mr. Juan Sergio Nadal, Director of the Cultural Foundation and Cultural Counselor, for his contribution and support in this endeavor.

The works I present in this exhibition are a retrospective of Venice, painted during three trips I made there over time. They form a unified body, as I always aim to do in my exhibitions, attempting to convey not only my own emotions about this place but also to invite visitors to travel with me emotionally to the locations I depict. I have presented such thematic exhibitions both here and abroad on several occasions, such as Spain, Paris, Pelion, Shipbuilding, and the Aegean Islands, which I recently showed. Today, with my Venices, I strive to interpret a unique space whose aesthetic character centuries have failed to alter. VENICE PALAZZO I 65 x 46 VENICE: 1. CANAL I 2. SOUP I 3. AFTERNOON SHADOW I 4.

NATIONAL GALLERY NATIONAL GALLERY ALEXANDROS SOUTZOS MUSEUM 1900-1976 PANORAMA OF GREEK PAINTING 1950-1975

The National Gallery organizes the exhibition “Panorama of Greek Painting of the Last Twenty-Five Years” and presents it on the day of its opening on May 17, 1976. This exhibition includes works by young painters belonging to the collections of the National Gallery, demonstrating the continuity of a historical trajectory. Although universal completeness may not have been achieved, an effort was made to gather characteristic explorations from recent years of painting expression in our country. However, a special and essential purpose of this exhibition is to clearly demonstrate the urgent need for the creation of a “Museum of Modern Art” in our country, from which luminous figures—new artists—will emerge, showing the way for our intellectual, cultural, and artistic survival.

When I first happened to find myself in a shipyard, I was so deeply impressed by the color, the colossal dimensions of the installations and structures, the movement and the intensity of life in that space, that I felt an irresistible need to give voice to my emotions by working there. Indeed, for a very long period of time, I was given the opportunity to paint at the Greek Shipyards. Today, I present this work of mine with the hope of conveying through words the intense emotions I experienced in this so captivating and creative space. SHIPS IN THE WEST 65 x 50 cm.

PAINTING INVITATION: GALLERIE KYKLOS AND THE PAINTER THEODOROS MARKELOS WILL CONSIDER IT AN HONOR IF YOU ATTEND THE OPENING OF HIS EXHIBITION, ON TUESDAY, MARCH 23 AT 8 P.M.— VENUE: KYKLOS, CHRYSOSTOMOU SMYRNI 18, TEL. 225818 — THESSALONIKI DURATION: MARCH 23 TO APRIL 13, 1976 VISITING HOURS: 6 - 10 P.M. DAILY THE PAINTER MARKELOS Markellos’s exhibition, with its steady and clear vision of natural existence, expresses his stance toward life and, generally, his perspective on the world. In his paintings, the main characteristic is a calm and pervasive love for the objective value of existence. To shape his intentions, he uses archetypal visual symbols from unadulterated nature: the sky, the tree, the mountain, the traditional settlement, and ancient forms that are always charged with distant memories and sensory stimuli. It seems that the artist journeys toward the Sources, moving toward a return, to listen to the unforced dialogue of the soul, which is shared in silence within the endless natural space. Thus, his art becomes a heartfelt acceptance of natural beauty, an optimistic voice that ultimately cultivates love for life and humanity. Notably, his choice and preference stand out today, when the artist has both the privilege and the challenge to follow a thousand paths among the polyphonic, hermetic, sibylline tendencies opened by our troubled and contradictory era. Therefore, against the tendencies of fragmented expression and the disintegration of phenomena—born of intellectual egocentrism and technological analysis—Markellos contrasts the value of eternal things that surround us with a clear and sober vision. Another characteristic of his art is the sense of measure. Although his visual perception is outward-looking, he does not exaggerate his references; he guards against intense externalities and does not intervene, even to rationalize phenomena or subordinate them to pre-established structures, allowing them to develop unimpeded in their own atmosphere, truth, and natural spontaneity. From this standpoint, Markellos’s painting has dignity. He does not attempt to impress or lure the unaware viewer into picturesque effects; he rejects affected effects and demonstrative virtuosity. Markellos’s work is accessible to both the general viewer and the aesthetically discerning, because it encompasses a positive stance that, through the absolute mastery of its expressive means, draws us into a space where the heart moves calmly and the mind remains sober.

Tropical ambiguity of a northern atmosphere. Impressive or temporary travels of his. His current activity is around the horizon - it is the planetary gathered in the quote of the three Artisans and Technicians Markellos tends to dichotomize in the Full, to host it which certainly teaches the Spiritual world of the Dictatorial and Analytical and to dichotomize in the Judge of Theodosius the divine Rarely Greet and the Fourth Orphic, Markellos has the G. of Theodosius - to compile their general ones, which have to be added to their art.

THE OUTDOORS The outdoors is a theme that almost all of our painters have immortalized. The pure atmosphere of the Greek countryside, the harmonious variety of color, the picturesque quality, the light, the play of light and shadow, and the clear sky drew them, through the power of instinct, to expressive subtleties. The love for the outdoors and the abundant light is in their blood. They know how to express themselves, to convey a powerful impression. The chromatic harmony that enchants, with a poetic feeling that moves deeply. Their extraordinary natural sensitivity of sight, which captures the eternal beauty of nature and feels the poetry of life deeply with its fine sensitivity, imagination, and intuition. Their palette is bright, noble, and harmonious; their works are "musical symphonies." Waterfalls of harmony flow within their frames. People, trees, stones, animals, and skies express entire worlds of ideas. This exhibition aims to show the art-loving public how our painters, both deceased and living, having developed a "color sense," do not copy but paint from nature, depicting emotions. G. I.

He exhibits his works permanently in the Group Exhibition of "Diogenes International Galleries.,, in Athens, since 1965 His works are in many state collections in Greece, in the National Gallery of the Ministry of Education in Athens, and in many private collections around the world. His current work is free imaginative, which sometimes reaches the abstract, but does not break his relationship with the completely imaginative style, from which he takes the elements for his modern work. P.N.M. Markellos presents a strong personality; like Theotokopoulos, he is inspired by Spain. In his compositions for Madrid and Segovia, the light of spring, the sunset of summer, the gray The autumn or the stormy winter sky are painted with impressive power, with a strong personal character and freedom in composition. Federico Calindo "'DIGAM,., Madrid 1955 Markellos represents the luminous school of painting with free and active brushstrokes. His paintings, beyond their explosive color shades, reveal many hidden values with their unique quality of a strong internal structure. Fignerola Ferreti "'ARRIBA,., Madrid 1956 Markellos is brilliant in his colors and generous with light, but never aggressive to the eye. He truly absorbs the landscapes of Castile with a feeling deeper and warmer than some of the Masters of the Spanish school. Mariano Tomas "'MADRID,., Madrid 1955 Markellos possesses a deep sense of light and color. His work is of quality. Alfonso Sanchez "'INFORMACIONES,., Madrid 1955 The architectural structure, the characteristic movement, the sensitive work with the brush, and the capture of light are the graces in Markellos's physiognomy as a painter. A deep talent and his artistic sensitivity combine with certainty and freedom in the expression of one of the most significant aspects of his work: the structure of space. He speaks with forms and shades in his landscapes from Spain and uses without hesitation golden yellows and bloody reds. Dimitris Kallonas "'VRADINI,., Athens 1958 Markellos is a brilliant painter with work of high quality, sensitivity, and emotion. His artistic creations are at a high level and always carry a sense of responsibility, strength, and courage. M. Constantopoulos "'ACROPOLIS,., Athens 1958 The rich gift of color and light, the construction of characteristic environments, the personal way in which he presents his subject, shows that he has certainly mastered the way to express himself. Giulio Montenero Director of the Revoltella Museum, Trieste «lL PICCOLO» Trieste April 22, 1969 Markellos, with continuous references to data of centuries, composes a world in which the atmosphere is luminous, the landscapes and seascapes are flooded with light, with a clear and deep sea.

THE PAINTER MARKELOS The works exhibited by Markellos are not the result of an isolated and characteristic artistic act stemming from possible “transformations” and contemporary “alignments,” something so common in our days. The condensed outcome of his continuous journey, aimed at perfecting his expressive style, is the result of his long and arduous dedication to the visual arts and his engagement with the most significant phases of European art: Starting from the study of the great painters in the museums (El Greco, Velázquez, Goya), he traversed the entire historical cycle of Western art to reach the most contemporary aesthetic problems. Familiar with the sparse study of tradition and in his effort to interpret every moment of the aesthetic phenomena of Western art, he also defined the boundaries of his soul, the physiognomy of his painting in its basic elements, and placed himself under responsibility in the space of hypothetical discourse. His work today contains his condensed perceptions regarding art and the goals he has chosen for his personal presentation. Therefore, we can highlight the characteristic points of his art, such as his tolerance towards various schools and trends. He does not deny any experience of expression and does not submit to any dogmatic attachment. He selects from representational art and simultaneously from abstract art, every useful and absorbable element that organically fits into his own predispositions. We can also add, and this emerges from his work, that Markellos does not believe that the goals of contemporary art can be limited to the narration of themes of a reality that exists objectively, despite the symbolic character it has taken, which can lead to the chaotic loneliness of subjective phantoms. Similarly, he rejects attachment to extreme abstract abstraction or rather as a challenge of a feeling that gives motion to his creation. That is, he is a free representational artist who often approaches the boundaries of the abstract, who does not narrate impressions but records the state of his soul. He mainly records the bitternesses that weigh on the world today, the nightmare-filled life of people, who are trapped in oppression and the exhaustion of routine. As we have already mentioned, some vague and changing thoughts about reality, some stations, industrial spaces, night visuals of cities, some figures allow him to express the fatigue and dissolving loneliness of the humble and despised. Regarding color and form, Markellos' compositions open a space of darkness crossed by the weight of an unrelenting fatalistic fate for the wronged of life, and perhaps this characterizes the deepest character of the artist, namely compassion and help towards the neighbor, fear and anxiety for the future. He shows us that each of us must place our sensitivity in the service of the neighbor, so that we may illuminate their existence with our love. Full of warm humanism and aiming at the above goals, Markellos' art becomes the expression of our mixed-up era and the psychology of the people in our society. Nikos Alexiou, art critic TH.

This exhibition is the first in a series to be organized by the Association of Graduates of the Higher School of Fine Arts. Other related events are planned, with the aim, on the one hand, of making the public aware of the artistic activity of the graduates and, on the other, of achieving the closer connection that is essential for our collective goals in the professional and trade union sphere. With this exhibition, the A.G.H.S.F.A. is activating yet another of its directions, which is primarily of a trade union nature. For this reason, we believe that the unity (often superficial) presented by exhibitions of artistic groups with a common aesthetic stance of their members should not be sought. In this exhibition, there is a deeper unity, due to the common artistic heritage of the exhibitors, which gives a particular seriousness to their searches on the difficult paths of the Art of our time. We hope that this event, as well as the others that will follow, will contribute positively to our artistic life. The Board of Directors

He received his degree from the Athens School of Fine Arts, where he studied, receiving many honorary distinctions, in 1952. He was also awarded a scholarship for further studies at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in Madrid, from 1954 to 1956, and another at the National Superior School of Fine Arts in Paris, from 1960 to 1962.

Solo exhibition, Trieste He presented contemporary Greek art at the International Exhibition in Bucharest. His works have been permanently exhibited in the Group Exhibition of "Diogenes International Galleries" in Athens, since 1965. His works are held in many state collections in Greece, in the National Gallery of the Ministry of Education in Athens, and in many private collections around the world. His current work is free figure, which sometimes reaches abstraction, but does not break its connection with the entirely literary style, from which it draws elements for his contemporary work. P.N.M. Markellos expresses a strong personality; like Theotokopoulos, he is inspired by Spain. In his compositions of Madrid and Segovia, the light of spring, the sunset of summer, the grey of autumn or the stormy winter sky are painted with impressive power, with a strong personal character and freedom in composition. Federico Caliento "'DIGAM", Madrid 1955 Markellos represents the luminous school of painting with free and active brushstrokes. His works, beyond their explosive color shades, reveal many hidden values through their unique quality of a strong internal structure. Fignerola Feretti "'ARRIBA", Madrid 1956 Markellos is brilliant in color and generous with light, but never aggressive to the eye. He truly absorbs the landscapes of Castile with a feeling deeper and warmer than that of certain Masters of the Spanish school. Mariano Tomas "'MADRID", Madrid 1955 Markellos possesses a deep sense of light and color. His work is of quality. Alfonso Sanchez "'INFORMACIONES", Madrid 1955 The architectural structure, the characteristic movement, the sensitive work with the brush, and the capture of light are the graces in Markellos's profile as a painter. A deep talent and his artistic sensitivity blend with certainty, yet also with freedom in expressing one of the high points of his work: the structure of space. He speaks through forms and color shades in his landscapes from Spain and uses golden yellows and bloody reds without hesitation. Dimitris Kallonias "'VRADINI", Athens 1958 Markellos is a brilliant painter with work of high quality, sensitivity, and emotion. His artistic creations stand at a high level and always carry a sense of responsibility, strength, and courage. M. Konstantopoulos "'ACROPOLIS", Athens 1958 The rich gift of color and light, the construction of the characteristic environment, and the personal way in which he presents his subject show that he has certainly mastered the means of expression. Giulio Montenero Director of the Revoltella Museum, Trieste «IL PICCOLO» Trieste April 22, 1969 Markellos, with continuous references to eternal givens, composes a world in which the atmosphere is luminous, the landscapes and seascapes are flooded with light, featuring a clear and deep sea.

And this year, following the traditional exhibition of “Macchiaioli” and other Greats of the Italian 19th century, which inaugurated the new season of my gallery, comes the solo exhibition of an artist who is being presented in Florence for the first time. He is the painter of Greek nationality Theodoros Markellos, who, although he has never exhibited in Italy, possesses an extremely interesting biography and wide recognition abroad, due to his continuous presence in group exhibitions and the many solo exhibitions he has held, not only in Greece, but also in France, Spain, Austria, Russia and other countries, where he has won numerous awards and the esteem of reputable critics. Markellos’ painting, which is representational in conception, yet simultaneously modern and personal, enjoys the favorable reception of art lovers from various countries, precisely because it stems from his genuine poetic vein and sings with harmonious, warm and musical color notes, truly attractive and pleasant. Markellos is particularly appreciated for his portraits, in which he vividly conveys the internal and physiognomic characteristics of individual faces. And it is also for this reason that his works are housed in many of the most important public and private collections in Europe and America. Approaching with skepticism the fashion of extensive “presentations,” I do not devote further words to this foreign artist; I therefore refer him to the free judgment of the critics and art lovers of Florence, hoping however that they will appreciate him according to his true merits.

to this abundance of works, which constitutes the main characteristic of the Exhibition. The Committee aimed solely at assessing the quality of the works, regardless of style, and worked with utmost care and affection towards the artists. The works submitted for judgment by approximately 750 artists amounted to about 2,500. From these, after careful examination, the Committee selected 1,080, which are now exhibited. The general view of the Committee is that a sufficient number of works have been presented, which represent significant progress in art for our country. That is, Greek art shows a remarkable upward trend, a fact confirmed by the large participation of artists in the exhibition. There are also many notable works by younger artists, which justify hope for even greater progress of Greek art in the near future. We hope that the Ministry of National Education and Religious Affairs, which, despite existing difficulties, showed exceptional interest in organizing the 6th Panhellenic Art Exhibition, with the aim of elevating the visual arts in Greece, will continue to always care for the best presentation of the Panhellenic exhibitions.

CATALOGUE OF THEODOROS MARKELOS Born in Athens in 1925, he enrolled at the Athens School of Fine Arts in 1947, pursuing his artistic studies for five years and receiving excellent grades in drawing and color. At the end of his studies, he was awarded the Grand Prize for Painting, which is conferred exclusively by this institution. He has presented his paintings twice at the National Exhibition of Greece and also participated in the last Annual Exhibition of Athens, with themes from the sea. In 1954, he embarked on a journey abroad to study the museums of Italy, France, and Spain. There, together with his colleagues Perdikis and Papageorgiou, he found in our country the most challenging landscape for his coloristic enthusiasm. His paintings in this exhibition prove it. Both the landscapes of Segovia and the urban scenes of Madrid clearly reveal the emotional harmony of Theodoros Markellos's art with the basic characteristics of our horizons. Among the paintings exhibited here, some, such as ENTRANCE TO THE ZOO, CENTRAL MARKET, RETIRO PARK, can be considered among the most elegant and charming interpretations of the urban landscape of Madrid created by a foreign artist in Spain. 16.

The work of Th. Markellos is not a solitary, isolated, and occasional artistic act stemming from the “chance transformations” or “contemporary alignments” so common in our days. It is the condensed result of a continuous journey, and the consequence of a long and arduous dedication to the plastic arts, which led him to master his expressive means, defined the character of his painting, and established him with responsibility in the sphere of plastic discourse.

For an exhibition of his in Italy, the art critic and International of the Museum "REVOLELLA" writes: MARKELLOS is a painter artistic, marine selected, in his representation which resembles fear. In the much Greek exercise of his color perception he flows with skill and speed different color gradients which are accompanied by the impulsive writing of the brush with color movements in sapphire and violent photographs, in America competitions him. The organization of the panel is the characteristic of post-representational painting the forms determined in mass coincidences and tactics, the drawings notes only from the backs of his color surfaces. Signature the stoic balance between the spiral-emotions of pre-schoolism from the recognition of the real landscape and the texture in the composition. MARKELLOS captures the atmosphere and the change of light of the spaces that inspire him and inspires them with an accurate gradient of his palette alternating porcalia. Although he has a generous disposition towards the color and the light of his environment inspires the artist always maintains his personal stable way of composition and inspires him he has the conquest.

MARKELOS Gallery “Syllogi” The well-known painter Markellos presents his works at the Gallery “Syllogi”. The paintings on display were created over the last two years and serve as a confirmation that, without altering his painterly drama, the artist anticipates the fullness and energy of his stylistic problems. As a person, Markellos is solitary, isolated, seemingly destined to slide silently through the world. For years he has served exclusively and solely art, because it is the only thing that defines his existence. He says that his dialogue with people and, generally, with reality, is mediated within him only through art. Thus, his painting is also the only connection between his ego and the outside world. From this position, he respects reality and seeks its visual representation to be as abundant as possible, in order to convey the immediate emotion it provokes in him. However, Markellos’s painting does not end in a premeditated and subservient imitation of the “given.” Because his visual temperament finds within the dense reality plastic values, chromatic orchestrations, poetic lighting foci, and compositional rhythms. It is these internal processes of Markellos that his representational art breathes a particularity, a serenity, a joy of the soul, because it manages to peel away the transient shell of things. The well-known painter Kopsidis writes in the exhibition catalog: “In his painterly landscape, stones were flying and he, for the sake of picturesque painting... And Kopsidis flew from place to place, a wanderer, traveling without luggage, ready for adventures. The upright, running spirit of his soul does not linger long in ports, does not bind itself to people and places, does not sing the afternoons for any purpose. We knew him as an excellent, incredible icon painter, who frescoed so many churches. Later he turned to another path, creating his famous “White Wall,” a visual indictment, a burning social critique, sarcasm and irony against the established order. And then he created secular painting, which, in a strange way, is as contemporary as it is distant. His landscapes have an ideal austerity, which surely existed before they were disturbed by man, before they were ruined by the presence of our civilization. He depicts, perhaps, a simple and incredible world, which, nevertheless, is surrounded by a type of asceticism, a restrained bitterness that lingers on the faces of the photographs. In his current exhibition, Kopsidis, as H. Christou chronicles, “is the drastic reduction from the climate and formulations of the schools, and the imposition of a purely personal expressive language.” A language that was formed through the winding path through so many visual places, and saw, bloomed, and was anthologized. So many dramatic excitations, so many comparisons and restraints occurred within him, that he can fearlessly and unboundedly paint flowers in the garbage dump, ideal hens and carnations in the “Graveyard” in Lavrion. To fly into the fictional world of childhood fantasy, riding a mythical little horse. Kopsidis can fly because life gave him dynamic and free thought. NIKOS ALEXIOU

Paris was also for me one of the significant catalysts in the formation and cultivation of my painterly character. I feel that I owe this exhibition to the city, a fragmented portrait of its restless physiognomy. Beyond the contemporary projections that, through its spirit, helped me develop—my solo exhibition at the Orizon Gallery in 1967, the Panhellenic Association of Fine Arts, and others—I wanted, in this exhibition, to express our secret dialogues and the emotions from my Parisian hours with immediacy—a manner I still maintain today in interpreting the Greek space. I believe that the experience and the lived moments of this initial emotion are the primary factor in the plastic development of my synthetic choices. I will not elaborate on the work I present today in this exhibition. I hope that the work itself demands from the viewer their participation in our visual dialogue. PARIS WAS FOR ME AN IDEAL FRAMEWORK FOR THE CULTIVATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF MY PAINTING. I FEEL THAT I OWE THIS EXHIBITION TO IT, WHICH IS A FRAGMENTED PORTRAIT OF ITS RESTLESS AND DYNAMIC PHYSIONOMY, REVEALING ITS VITALITY. BEYOND MY RESEARCHES, THANKS TO ITS SPIRITUAL SUPPORT—MY SOLO EXHIBITION IN 1967 AT THE HORIZON GALLERY, AS WELL AS OTHERS—I WANTED IN THIS EXHIBITION TO REVEAL MY SECRET CONVERSATIONS WITH THIS UNIQUE CITY, THE EMOTIONS FELT DURING THE HOURS I LIVED THERE, AND TO DO SO IN A DIRECT MANNER, A MANNER I STILL USE TODAY IN THE EFFORT TO INTERPRET THE GREEK SPACE. I BELIEVE THAT THE EXPERIENCE OF THIS INITIAL EMOTION AND THE SUBSEQUENT REACTIONS ARE THE MAIN FACTORS IN THE PLASTIC GROWTH OF MY RESEARCH IN THE FIELD OF SYNTHESIS. I WILL SAY NOTHING ELSE ABOUT THE WORK I PRESENT TODAY IN THIS EXHIBITION, AND I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THAT IT ALONE INVITES THE SPECTATOR TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR ARTISTIC CONVERSATION.

"Athens Daily Post", 8 - 2 - 1972 By Kairin E. Mangardaki (Kazy "Exton") Under the patronage of the National League, an exhibition of European works by Th. Markellos took place in the large exhibition hall of Parnassos. The artist arrived in Athens and has his studio with five pictorial distinctions. With scholarships, he studied his works at the National School of Fine Arts in Madrid and Paris. His works are found in many collections in Greece and abroad. The 100 pieces of his European Parisian works create a characteristic and beautiful atmosphere in the exhibition hall. The works present well-chosen forms of Paris, as well as beautiful images of it, namely "Seine after the rain" and "Twilight over the Seine," etc. In a transformative style, each one of the exceptional works gives a romantic and ironic presence to the public through the sonorous light. The light in Markellos' works is a painting that, for its breadth, seems to pause. This same light that captivates the viewer's gaze and the delicate tones. It is a great number of unexplored works that particularly impress me. Thinking generally about Markellos' exhibition, I believe it offers beautiful opportunities for intellectual journeys. Under the patronage of the Franco-Hellenic League, the painting exhibition of Mr. Theodore Markellos was held in the “Parnassos” Hall. The painter was born in Athens, graduated from the Ecole des Beaux Arts of Athens with five honorable distinctions. He won scholarships and continued his studies in the Ecole des Beaux Arts of Madrid and of Paris. His works can be found in many collections in Greece and abroad. A hundred paintings of Paris created a very characteristic and beautiful atmosphere in the exhibition hall. The paintings represented well-chosen corners of Paris as well as beautiful moments of it, like “La Seine après la pluie” or “Crépuscule sur la Seine”. In a most impressionistic mannerism, each one of the lovely tableaux is giving us a romantic and peaceful presence in the timid light of cloudiness. The light of Mr. Markellos’ paintings is a song to cloudiness I would say,—this particular light that brings the forms forward and bonds the world closer together. There is a great number of tableaux that impressed me in particular. But thinking generally about the Markellos painting exhibition, I think I was given beautiful motives, for infinite travels of mind. K.E.M. Athens Daily Post 8-2-1972

Therefore, in order to await the availability of the "Conference Palace," which was made available as an alternative by the Rome World Exhibition as the only venue with facilities equally suitable for the scale of the event and the artistic quality of the works that have arrived from all over the world, this Secretariat, not wishing to further delay the event, has decided to move the opening date to March 21, 1966, the feast day of Saint Benedict, patron of Europe. Consequently, the Exhibition will remain open until mid-April. In the coming days, we will send each individual exhibitor of the Quadrennial of Europe their personal admission card and invitation tickets for the opening ceremony. The Selection Committee is simultaneously finalizing the selection process, which will conclude in the coming days, and the results will be announced immediately, along with the dispatch of the catalog.

"ETHNIKOS KYRIS" February 26, 1958 DISTANCES NEWS AND COMMENTS THE WORLD OF ART AND... THE MOVEMENT OF EXHIBITIONS.—THE TOMORROW'S PROKOPOU"—THE MOVEMENT IN THE PROVINCES.—THE WORK IN THE LAST few days, "Parnassos" has compensated us for the mediocre impression we had gathered from the various artistic "poems" that were being created there, where impossible "painters" were trying to prove the non-existent talent of their creations, with some interesting exhibitions hosted in its halls. Thus, after the sure technique of D. Braessas and the sensitivity of Linaki—whose exhibition continues in the main hall—we are given the opportunity to enjoy the highly noteworthy work of the painter Markellos, which should not go unnoticed. I do not remember having seen paintings by this artist before, and thus this exhibition is, to some extent, a discovery for me. The presentation of Mr. Markellos in his solo exhibition at "Parnassos" is, to some extent, overwhelming. He exhibits many (103) paintings, so much so that they seem to suffocate one another, and simultaneously, the selection is not as strict as it should be, so that the impression gathered by the visitor is not entirely positive. Beyond this partial reservation, the artist shows us that he possesses many possibilities, his sensitivity is sharpened, and he masters his technique. At the peak of Impressionism and Modern Art, he borrows the best from both and reaches a personal aesthetic result that, without reaching extremes, has freedom, imagination, and boldness.

Yesterday, a new art gallery opened at 33 Nikis Street. It is called “Horizon” and promises to present significant exhibitions. The first one, by Theodoros Markellos, which was inaugurated yesterday, shows that the new gallery will keep its promises. Theodoros Markellos is a truly remarkable painter. After studying at the School of Fine Arts in Athens, he continued his studies with a scholarship in Madrid and Paris. His works have been presented in many exhibitions abroad. We had not seen his work here for a long time. And we awaited his exhibition with particular interest. Industrial areas, railway lines, interiors of houses, and night scenes of cities constitute the themes of his works. Compositions on a large scale where one can detect melancholy and depression. Compositions of quality where representational elements are linked with the abstract. Meanwhile, in the interview Markellos gave to “Ethnos” and published last Wednesday, a word was omitted due to a typographical error, which altered the meaning of his words. The correct phrase: “My works are not an isolated and accidental artistic act, which arises from chance transformations and modern distortions, common in our era.” May 18–24, 1967 Issue No. 453 “WOMAN”

Personally, I felt immense pride for this busy hive called a shipyard. Because it made me think of Greek seafaring, the one hundred and fifty thousand “Greek seamen” and the proud Greek ships. And we owe this to Markellos. His color has security. The organization of his paintings is successful, and the lighting highlights what the artist wants to convey in the foreground. The result is emotional, a song of hard work and the Greek sea. He was there, primarily, the poet of Pelion, and more generally of the Greek provinces. A poetic neo-symbolism was evident in his approximately eighty paintings. Today, surprisingly transformed, he devotes himself entirely to a feat: he immortalizes with forty paintings the shipyards, allowing us to understand how everything can become art, when the artist seeks to express himself through things. There, amidst unfamiliar material, under cranes, with the deafening noise of hundreds of workers, machines, electric drills, hammering and voices, Markellos set up his tripod and captured the movement, the light and the angles. His paintings have immediacy and vividness. They are full of life and color. And they testify to a day-long struggle to conceive the

"Nazione Sera", October 19, 1963 MAGICAL numerous Picassos and all French impressionism EXHIBITIONS IN FLORENCE The Greek Theodore Markellos is at Spinetti: a vedutism, his, sometimes too rapid and a bit superficial. But certain volcanic landscapes and the classicism of his drawings yield happy results. Guido Falzoni is at Casa THE LATEST and also the "Hellenic" with some interesting exhibitions hosted in its halls has dispelled the mediocre impression we had from the various artistic productions that take place there, where amateur painters absorbed the creations of the inexperienced boldness of their hands. After the sure technique of D. Bratsas and the sensibility of Linaki — whose exhibition continues in the middle hall — we are given the opportunity to see the highly noteworthy work of the painter Markellos, which should not be overlooked. I do not recall having seen paintings by this artist before, so this exhibition is, to some extent, a revelation for me. The presentation of Mr. Markellos in this solo exhibition at the "Hellenic" is, to some extent, overwhelming. He exhibits many (103) paintings, so that one stands next to another, and simultaneously, the selection is so conservative as it should be, so that the impression gained from the viewing is entirely positive. Beyond this partial reservation, the artist shows us that he has many possibilities, his sensibility is sincere, and he masters his technique. On the threshold of expressionism and modern art, he is influenced by both, takes the best from each, and reaches a personal sensory balance that, without falling into extremes, has elegance, imagination, and boldness. The Spain he presents to us is a completely different Spain from the one our own painters have shown us from time to time. He did not stop at its surface, its tourism, so to speak, nor did he show it to us with bright colors and cheap romantic mood like a postcard. He delved into its soul, its deeper character, and without depriving it of its unique charm and characteristic warmth, he revealed its true reality. At the same level are his Greek painting impressions from his travels and

26 Apr. 1958 "AVGI" VISUAL ARTS THE EXHIBITION AT "GALERI TECHNIS" Markellos, Sergavlepos, Menoiatzian, Papaspyropoulos, Kleopa, Stefanou, Moustakas, Papageorgiou. The painter Lili Arlioti A new weekly exhibition, this time featuring younger artists, is organized at the new Galerie Technis (2 Nikis Street). In its halls, paintings, sculptures, and engravings are presented, as well as drawings; each artist follows their own tendency, presenting a distinct personal character. It is noteworthy that new artistic centers are constantly emerging in Athens, and new exhibition spaces are showcasing the works of our artists. Mr. Markellos again presents some of the works he recently exhibited at "Paraskevi". We had previously spoken about his rich color palette and his sensitivity towards landscape (Railway Area - 5, Kitchen - 8). Mr. Sergavlepos again shows some of the paintings he presented in his last exhibition. With their clear, thick color, love for the truth of shapes and volumes, as well as the restraint of flat painting, they could well be characterized as studies for mural painting (Landscapes of Andros - 26, etc.). The compositions of Mr. M. Menoiatzian, where a disruption of classical tradition meets modern painting restraint, leave behind a full classical simplicity, full of sensitivity. The work of Mr. Papaspyropoulos presents great interest with the geometric arrangement of the drawing, with the stylization of volumes. The surfaces are defined, slightly harsh in their polychromy. However, the theme here is limited to a purely visual phenomenon; there is no allusion. Sensitive and with green tones. The same applies to the watercolors of Mr. Preka, which sensitively convey the atmosphere of the landscape or an excellent personal moment ('Aprodros - 23, 'Avanta - 24) within a low chromatic scale. The drawings of Miss Stefanou move within an intense tonal scale, based on a free drawing, where a visual phenomenon is strongly given without its extensions (Islands, etc.). The sculptor Mr. Moustakas exhibits two actions, carved, turned, simplified without dynamism, but always with reality. Just as the portrait "Rania" conveys, the rough material allows one to imagine a sensitivity that refers not only to form but also to the essence of things. The same excellent qualities can be observed Afternoon Newspaper Evening FOCUS Date Sole Nero Notes Exhibitions Athens, Wednesday (7 p.m.), opens at the National Gallery.

"AUGI" 27 Feb. 1958 VISUAL ARTS TH. MARKELOS: OLD MADRID THE EXHIBITION OF THEOD. MARKELOS In the large hall of "Parnassus" A new painter, Mr. Theod. Markellos, presents a rich body of work in the large hall of "Parnassus". Quality and quantity harmonize perfectly, leaving one with a sense of euphoria before the harmony of colors generously offered on the canvas, like a festive celebration. Mr. Markellos is primarily a landscape painter. His subjects come from Spain (Madrid and Seville), Paris, and Greece. He strives to convey onto his canvases the very same emotion he felt before the Spanish landscape. He remains free in his impressions, unconcerned with stylistic dilemmas. He works boldly with his colors; his paintings are filled with light, a light that does not neutralize the colors but rather highlights their full brilliance. Mr. Markellos works with discernment and always has a subject. He draws his inspiration from the world around us. And his inspiration is purely chromatic. The subject is always the pretext for showcasing color combinations found in nature, which moved the artist as such, who tries to give them to us through his work with the hidden hope that they will make us feel the same joys. In this atmosphere, Mr. Markellos moves, unbound by any specific school, remaining faithful to the painting of tradition. A tendency toward simplification in drawing and color appears in the later part of his work (landscapes mainly from Greece), whereas in earlier paintings one finds strong impressionistic tendencies. His trip to Spain gave him the opportunity to study the great Spanish painters, but it does not seem that this study influenced him additionally. He studied the Spanish landscape and light more closely, attempting to capture its character. But before his subject, he always remains a receiver. A receiver full of sensitivity. He does not see the landscape starting from a predetermined mood. His mood is given, the emotion is born within him, and he gives us this emotion. But the artist is not only a receiver; he cannot remain neutral. We would expect Mr. Markellos to enchant us with this ability of his to perceive in synthetic works. He already has enough experience from direct contact with light. Our era, indeed, every ready-made thing is shaken by problems, and these problems, this life that moves around us and within us, are the only theme of art. Why do we limit ourselves only to chromatic harmonies, to calm or turbulent landscapes? What about us? Life has infinite forms. Naturally, every thoughtful artist has his own world and moves within it. And emotion is often something entirely subjective. Mr. Markellos animates in his own way and in his own climate, and manages in many of his paintings to immerse us in that climate, to give us the emotion he felt. (Road - 1, Dusk - 15, Afternoon - 21, Landscape of Kastelli - 31, Autumn - 47, Marseille, road - 86, Landscape of Corinthia - 62, Park - 36. This and no other is something else, and that is his purpose, and I can say that he achieved it. MILATOS - AR DH' "Hygienic Voice," 25 Feb. 1958. PAGE 2a OUR ARTISTIC MOVEMENT PAINTING EXHIBITIONS ART CRITIC NOTE BY MR. AGGELOS DOXAS ('Hygienic Voice', in its continuous effort to enrich its content, inaugurates today a regular column of art criticism and is very happy to announce that it has secured for this purpose the collaboration of the well-known art critic and our colleague Mr. Aggelos Doxas. Thus, doctors, who are particularly considered as patrons of painters, will find in our new column a responsible information and guidance on the Greek movement of visual arts). Two interesting exhibitions of young painters at "Parnassus": Those of Mr. Th. Markellos and Mr. K. Linakis. Mr. Markellos, whose works have been exhibited in last year's Panhellenic, the International in Moscow, and the Philharmonic Salon in Madrid, comes to us from Spain where he underwent further education for three years with more than a hundred oil paintings, small and large, basically landscapes and mainly from Spain. However, there are also a few pieces from Greece, France, and Italy. Mr. Markellos is an impressionist with a solid drawing who, through a realistic program, conveys a psychological content. In this, he is helped by a unique chromatic poetry of colors. He manages, even in the most intense and bold colors, to give a warmth and a breath that is transmitted elsewhere in a lukewarm haze, elsewhere in a psychological warmth, and elsewhere in an idealized elevation. Thus, his coloristically bold pieces no. 7, 8, 16, 17, 24, 32, 36, 65, 69, etc., represent a natural freshness, while in others he subdues the light, the light of the day no. (19) or the light of the night (no. 34, no. 44). Even in the most anti-poetic subjects, such as a cargo ship (no. 80, no. 101) or the semaphore of a railway station (no. 49), the realistic harshness disappears under a multifaceted life. Another characteristic of Mr. Markellos is how much he has absorbed the Spanish atmosphere. And after expressing it with authenticity no. 1, 14, 19, 46, 52, 53, 54, 64, etc., he involuntarily transferred it to the landscapes of France, and even to the Greek ones. But Mr. Markellos shows us another characteristic of his. That his style is constantly advancing in new searches.

To our painters with their problems, which they face in the effort to elevate Art even further for the benefit of the great mass of our people. Towards the goals of contem- porary society, the anxious society that is slowly — perhaps — moving away from art before even knowing it, in all its greatness. With 9 questions, which we believe do not exhaust the truth. The questions 1. What works do buyers prefer, in your opinion (portraits, abstract works, classical themes, etc.)? 2. Do Greek painters lack the means for finding ways to dispose of their works or the colors from the buyers? 6. If a work worth 20,000 drachmas is sold for 2,000 drachmas, is the value of the painter or the work reduced, or does something else happen? 7. Do you face economic difficulties in organizing this. For a long time, their daily routine has been imitation. We are limited to this transitional stage and must pass through it. There is no other way. The demand for art comes only when all other needs have been satisfied. If Athens does not feel the need for art at this moment, then do we seek it from the provinces? Yet, serious group exhibitions have been held from time to time, more often than not, due to private initiative. Some island, not touristy or cosmopolitan, will see a small exhibition appear on the surface. 5. I do not believe that painting is sold so expensively. Logically, a painter with a long career and a certain value should have higher prices than others. If the purpose of others is first and foremost a means to sell many of his paintings for 100,000 drachmas each or to sell 2,500 paintings. 7) If they ask us, I think we will all accept. 8) The Ministry of Education should organize a committee to study the topic, just like there are so many other committees, and to study the minutes of the first congress of artists in 1965 at the Doxidi school with the participation of about 300 artists, where this topic greatly occupied us. 9) Every artist has their conventional side.

COSMOS OF THE HELLENIC WOMAN II March 1972 MARKELOS: It is four o’clock on Friday, an atmosphere that conveys elements from 99 of his paintings, which he presents under the title “Friday 60–62” in the large hall of “Paraskevi” from January 29 to February 17, ’72, thus connecting the viewer with the enchanting city through the expressive portrait of its human physiognomy: It is a strong characteristic, personal to him, this element of expressing emotions, which he offers with the richness and masculinity of his color combinations, the intense outlines, and the white connection that wanders in his other atmosphere. The composition of his canvases is such that it gives a heightened balance to the example of his subject. He studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts Markellos: “In Skouana” in Athens and received his diploma, with four honorary distinctions; he studied intensively in Madrid and at the Paris School of Fine Arts. He has presented his work here in a solo exhibition in 1967, as well as in Panhellenic exhibitions. His works are held in collections in Greece and abroad. ‘ELEFTHERIA’, 20-10-1963 WORK BY GREEK PAINTER AWARDED IN ITALY A work by the Greek painter Theodoros Markellos was awarded at the State Italian Exhibition, receiving the prestigious “Premio Michelangelo.” At the exhibition, which included more than 150 Italian painters representing various tendencies and styles, Markellos presented his work with the endorsement of the Organizing Committee. Meanwhile, the Greek artist, who has been living in Italy for some time, is preparing his solo exhibition, which will soon take place in Florence. Premio Mugelle 1963 ITALY O. MARKELOS Gallery “Sylogi” N. Alexiou The well-known painter Markellos presents his work at the “Sylogi” gallery. The paintings on display were created over the last two years and represent a confirmation that, without changing his artistic approach, the artist aims for the completeness and clarity of his stylistic issues. As a person, Markellos is melancholic, isolated, as if he were gliding silently through the world. For years, he has devoted himself exclusively to art, because it is the only thing that defines his existence. He says that his dialogue with people and, generally, with reality, reaches him only through art: Thus, his painting is also the unique connection between his ego and the outside world. From this position, he observes reality and strives for its visual representation to be as accurate as possible, in order to convey the immediate emotion it provokes in him. However, Markellos’s painting does not end up in a premeditated and servile imitation of the observed. Because his visual temperament finds within the concrete reality plastic values, color harmonies, poetic lighting effects, and compositional rhythms. It is these internal processes of Markellos that make his representational art breathe a particularity, a sense of calm, and the euphoria of the soul, as it seeks to strip away the temporary shell of things.

MARKELOS Theodoros Markellos was born in 1935 and holds a diploma from the Athens School of Fine Arts, the city where he resides. He studied from 1952 and is a representative of Greek arts (Athens, Patras, Thessaloniki, Patras, Athens, Patras, Thessaloniki, Patras, Athens, Patras, Thessaloniki, Patras, Athens, Patras,

To shape his intentions, he uses visual symbols from nature: the sky, the sea, the mountain, elements that provide aesthetic stimulation to a sensitive artist. His art becomes a heartfelt acceptance of natural beauty, an optimistic voice that ultimately serves his faith in life and humanity.

262 ORIENTE He is not at all interested in very contemporary art, as he lives with the conviction that it is a passing fashion. Therefore, he studied the technique of Spanish painting, that of Velázquez, which always constitutes an invaluable school. He wants to combine the color palette of Impressionism with classical technique, all through a dynamic experience of light, which leads him to avoid grayish tones. The reception by Spanish criticism was extremely favorable toward the three painters. Figueroa-Ferretti wrote about Markellos: “Theodoros Markellos is the representative... of colorism, who gives maximum value to the exploration of colors. His painting style, of Impressionist origin, achieves more sensitive nuances on certain small-scale canvases, where, with a free, lively, and active brushstroke, he constructs urban perspectives of exceptional quality” (Arriba, 18-June-1955). Antonio Campos wrote: “Markellos has been blinded by the explosive Mediterranean light and is a brilliant colorist, who, without color nuances, boldly uses his palette. With his canvases 'Plaza Mayor', 'Autumn', and 'Retiro Lake', full of successes, he is certainly... the one who best captures the spirit of the age” (Ya, 22-June-1955). These praises are absolutely fair and succeed in emphasizing Markellos’s plastic ability to depict light as the soul of a landscape. Markellos, after getting to know the Spanish classics, considers moving to France to complete his knowledge of the Impressionist schools. Finally, let us note the interest aroused by an Almighty, on a wooden surface, which, at the National Exhibition of Images in Madrid, a month earlier. uses the agatina. Therefore, he has shown great interest in the technique of drawing, as clearly seen in the technique of the exhibited works.

GALERIE ZATOS MARKELOS

AFTERNOON 14-6-1967 AFTERNOON June 14 '67 IN THE NEW GALLERY “ORIZON” (33 Nikis), which offers a space suitable for the display of large paintings and absolutely modern lighting, presents oil paintings by the known painter Markellos, who continued his artistic studies, with scholarships, in Spain and France. Markellos, a restless nature, managed to successfully synchronize elements of Greek and Ang- lican painting and to create something new in his art, which combines grammatical quality, original connecting elements and harmonious compositions. Among the best works of this artistic period of the artist are “Politeia”, “Interior with Nude”, “Industrial Area”, “Exialtis”, “Archaeological Site” and “Railway Station”. Markellos works consciously, studies, creates, progresses. He is the painter whose art does not stop. A researcher and dreamer, he aspires to present something new in his painting and achieves it.

From the steps of the BEMA Chronology May 26, 1957... "Principles, porch, Tuesday, the Liberty, or the hall they had ORIZAN (Nikos 33) with the exhibition, Kyrgarou Markellos.

To shape his intentions, he uses visual symbols from nature: the sky, the tree, the mountain, the traditional settlement—elements that provide aesthetic stimuli to a sensitive artist. His art becomes a heartfelt acceptance of natural beauty, an optimistic voice that ultimately serves the love for life and humanity.

Personally, I felt pride for this busy beehive called a shipyard. Because it made me think of Greek seamanship, the one hundred and fifty thousand "Greek seamen" and the proud Greek ships. And we owe this to Markellos. His color has security. The organization of his paintings is successful and the lighting highlights what the artist wants to bring to the foreground.
