A great masterpiece by Manolis Calliyannis, its color and composition a rare virtue; this work is dated after his trip to Lesvos in 1956 which marks the beginning of his landscape period, in which his work was initially abstract. The artist uses color and light to dramatically translate the psychography of the landscape. Well-known in the international art market; he is one of the 10 Greek artists whose work was selected by Tate Modern for its collections.
