Abstract

"Theophilos represents the tradition of a country and its people. The B&M Theocharakis Foundation honours his vast contribution by organising a large retrospective, in collaboration with the Municipality of Mytilini and the Theophilos Museum. The exhibition showcases more than 80 landmark works of art from the following collections: Theophilos Museum at Varia, Mytilini, the National Gallery, the Hellenic Parliament, Alpha Bank, the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art, the Athens School of Fine Arts, Society of Lesvos Studies as well as from many acclaimed collectors. The paintings radiate the artist’s spirit and soul, his inner truth that always served and respected the nation’s needs – a nation that has lived both glorious as well as tragic moments, from the heights of glory and grandeur to slavery and uprooting."
