Tribute
to Hadjikyriakos-Ghika
The
Museum
of Contemporary Art on Andros Island
hosts an exhibition dedicated to the work of renowned Greek painter Nikos
Hadjikyriakos-Ghika
from July 3 to September 25.
Titled
A
Timeless Contemporary,
the exhibition is a tribute to an artist that was instrumental in
advancing art and thought in Greece as much through his work in painting
as through his many writings. Ghika created his own visual language that
was inseparably linked to the light and landscapes of Greece and became
the link between the European avant-garde and Greek modernism,
rightfully earning a prominent place in Greek art history.
