The Greek artists represented are: Konstantinos Parthenis, Dimitrios Galanis, Konstantinos Maleas, Theophrastos Triantafyllides, Nikolaos Lytras, Michalis Economou, Giorgos Bouzianis, Spyros Papaloukas, Periklis Byzantios, Gerasimos Steris (Stamatelatos), Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghika, Nikos Engonopoulos, Diamantis Diamantopoulos and Yannis Tsarouchis. The Greek artefacts belong to the following collections: National Gallery-Alexandros Soutzos Museum, Alpha Bank Collection, Municipal Gallery of Larissa-G.I.Katsigras Museum, Tsarouchis Foundation, B & M Theocharakis Foundation for the Fine Arts and Music, Averoff Gallery, Municipal Gallery of Thessaloniki and private collections.
Curators of the exhibition for the three countries are: Mariana Vida, Irina Genova and Takis Mavrotas and the coordinator for the entire project is the B & M Theocharakis Foundation for the Fine Arts and Music. Several art historians have contributed to the texts on Modernism included in the four-language catalogue, which accompanies the exhibition and opens with a note by Ján Figel’, EU Commissioner for Culture.
The exhibition will bring out both regional and national specificities, revealing the multiple levels on which Bulgaria, Greece and Romania were involved in a profound transformation of their local aesthetic preoccupations by integrating ideas, forms and techniques that were developed in the major cosmopolitan metropolises of Western Europe. The outcome will be an enriched understanding of the wealth and breadth of the cultural activity in what was perceived as the “periphery” and a realization of the significance of Modern Art for the formation of a European cultural identity.
The project is funded by the EU and is an integral part of the “Balkan Modernisms” project, which is being carried out with the support of the Culture 2007-2013 Program.
