WITHDRAWN
Yannis Tsarouchis,
Greek 1910-1989-
Portrait of a man, 1976;
oil on canvas, signed and dated 76 lower right, 51x65cm (ARR)
Provenance: Private Collection, Europe
Note: Tsarouchis attended the Athens School of Fine Arts, and also studied under Photios Kontoglou. Throughout his career Tsarouchis worked not only as a painter, but also as a costume and stage designer.
In the 1930s Tsarouchis travelled to Europe where he met artists including Alberto Giacometti and Henri Matisse. He was also a founding member of the Armos art group, established in 1949, alongside (among others) Yannis Moralis, Nikos Nikolaou, and Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghikas. Tsachouris is often described as a central member of the influential Generation of the 30s, and was thus a notable force in the artistic landscape of twentieth-century Greece.
Tsarouchis was very interested in the representation of the human form, making this confident depiction of a young, nude male figure typical of the artists output.
Tsachouriss first solo exhibition was held in Athens in 1938, and his work was included in the Venice Biennale twenty years later, in 1958. The Yannis Tsarouchis Foundation Museum was established in Tsarouchiss house in Athens in 1982.
