Theophilos @ Benaki Museum
Theophilos : Works from the Collection of the Emporiki Bank
The exhibition contains a group of twenty paintings from the art
collection of the
Emboriki Bank of Greece. It offers the public an opportunity to see up-close a
representative sample of the oeuvre of this painter from Mytilene, which records
in his characteristic manner his involvement with painting.
The works in the collection include a selection of the usual themes chosen
by Theophilos Hadjimichael: scenes from history or mythology; images taken
from postcards and old lithographs or photographs; landscapes; and images
of everyday life.
The collection of these twenty works by Theophilos, shown in the exhibition,
belongs to the Emboriki Bank of Greece since the 1980s and, with rare
exceptions,
this is the first time it will be shown to the public in its entirety.
The exhibition is accompanied by the Emboriki Bank of Greece’s publication
*** Theophilos (Athens, 1967), edited by Yannis Tsarouchis and Yiorgos
Manousakis***
and with texts by Yannis Tsarouchis, a publication that brings
together over 300 works by the artist.
Throughout the duration of the exhibition there will be showings of
the special tribute filmed
for the series Paraskinio (Backstage), entitled
"2003 – Theophilos Again?", directed by Lakis Papastathis.
