The Greek

The important Greek photographers Constantine Manos, John Demos and Nikos Economopoulos are telling about the true Greece and the Greek traditions. Between the 1960s and early 1990s they contributed by pertinacious works and many trips to the fact that Greek photo art finds, in the meantime, big recognition and international attention. At first sight the styles of the three artists seem very alike: They orientate themselves by Henri Cartier-Bresson and take photos classically black-and-white. Anyway, everybody touches the viewer in his personal way. Iconic moments of the Greek landscape and people, with both humor and sadness testify from beautiful, haunting images.
In addition the exhibition will show works about the film „Zorbas the Greek“ (Nikos Kazantzakis, Greece 1964) by the Austrian magnum photographer Erich Lessing.
