GEORGE GOUNAROPOULOS / dit: GOUNARO (Greece, Larissa 1890-1977 / act: Athens) |
The famous Greek painter George Gounaropoulos was born abroad, in Sozopoli, Bulgaria. He came to Greece at the age of sixteen and after his studies went to Paris, returning to Greece regularly. After his first ventures in the direction of impressionism, he finally developed his own artistic style where the chromatic atmosphere functions as a mere suggestion and the figures (usually women) as symbols.
