2019 marks the 130 years since the birth of the painter Giorgios Gounaropoulos and the 40 years from the foundation of his museum in the Municipality of Zografos, in Athens. The G. Gounaropoulos Museum will celebrate these anniversaries with two major exhibitions of modern and contemporary art inspired by the painter\u2019s artistic endeavour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first exhibition, entitled Poetry: eloquent painting. Hommage \u00e0 Gounaro<\/em>, uses as a starting point the description of Gounaropoulos\u2019s art by the philosopher Giorgios Mourelos as \u201cpoetic painting\u201d, and the painter\u2019s creative dialogue with some of his contemporary poets. The exhibition aims to explore the relationship between visual arts and poetry and its development in Greece since the 1930s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Artists: Giorgos Gounaropoulos, Nikos Engonopoulos, Odysseus Elytis, Andreas Embiricos, Demosthenes Agrafiotis, Lydia Dambassina, Dimitris Kalokyris, Costis (Triandaphyllou), Nina Papaconstantinou, Angelos Skourtis, Yannis Stefanakis, Thanasis Chondros and Alexandra Katsiani <\/p>\n\n\n\n Curator: Manolis Karterakis, Art historian-Curator, G.
