Comments on Greek painting, art, contemporary thought

Our blog is an artistic, cultural guide to the Greek landscapes. At the same time it offers an introduction to the history of Greek fine arts, Greek artists, mainly Greek painters, as well as to the recent artistic movements

Our aim is to present the Greek landscapes in a holistic way: Greek landscapes refer to pictures and images of Greece, to paintings and art, to poetry and literature, to ancient philosophy and history, to contemporary thought and culture...

Comments & Greek artists, Greek painters: and unprepared as we are - now no time left - tears us apart...

Poetry & Greek artists, Greek painters, modern Greek artists


Yannis Stavrou, Morning At the Port, oil on canvas

As catastrophic events happen every day...

As most of our actions cause the fall of modern civlization...

Only poetry is able to observe...

Finished
Konstantinos Kavafis

In fear and suspicions,

in mind disturbed and frightened eyes,

as we melt down we design how to act

to avoid the danger

the unavoidable thus horribly threatening us.

Yet we err, it isn't this on our way;

false were the messages

(we didn't listen to them or didn't rightly sense).

A different disaster, never imagined,

abrupt, rapid falls upon us,

and unprepared as we are - now no time left - tears us apart.
