2019 marks the 130th anniversary of Georgios Gounaropoulos birth (1889-1977), who was one of the forerunners of modern art in Greece, as well as the 40th anniversary of the Gounaropoulos’ Museum foundation. On this occasion, an exhibition titled “Line. Hommage à Gounaro II” is held at the Museum (running through January 31, 2020) alongside the permanent collection of Gounaropoulos's paintings, showcasing works by seven contemporary Greek artists who use the line as their main means of expression: Antonis Choudalakis, Andreas Christodoulou, Maria Dimaki, Nikos Exarhos, Voula Koukkou, George Sakkas and Athanasia Vidali. Their works are created in a wide range of, sometimes, unpredictable media and bring a fresh approach to as many personal issues as to their connection with the wider framework in which they occur. The exhibition is also accompanied by an extensive program of parallel events, such as lectures and workshops.
