Greek painting. Featuring works by K. Maleas, G.
Bouzianis, F. Kontoglou, Theofilos, S.Vasiliou, N.
Hadzikyriakos - Gikas, Y. Spyropoulos and other prominent Greek artists,is an invaluable
experience for the scholar of Modern Greek painting. The visitor has the opportunity to
see some of the most significative examples of their work. Many of the paintings have been
part of official exhibitions, both in Greece and abroad. Alongside the masters there are
in display other important artistic expressions that complemented the intellectual
character of each decade and each major historical period. With a few exceptions - mostly
regarding recent generations of artists who are still developing their own style and
technique - the Municipal Gallery of Rhodes is a highly representative museum of the Greek
Art of this century. Today the Gallery hosts 690 exhibits but only 90 are
available to the public disposal. The paintings exhibited are changed in regular
intervals.
The organization of specific exhibitions and other artistic events in various buildings of
the Medieval town is also among the activities of the Municipal Art Gallery. |
