Description

favorite subject of both the painting and engraving of Angelos Theodoropoulos from the early 1940s onwards is the island (mainly Cycladic) landscape and above all the rendering of its characteristic architecture. In this particular painting we see the narrow alley of a typical Cycladic settlement with the characteristic cobblestones and the arched architectural members in the upper part of the representation. To her left (as viewed by the viewer) is a series of wooden doors that apparently lead to the interior of the houses, while on the right the artist captures the architecture in a strongly abstract way, which we also find in the depth of the composition, as it becomes more and more perspective more abstract. In the upper left part of the work we see the bright blue sky, while the viewer’s gaze will probably stop in the central part of the work, where the artist captures in white a part of the lighting that passes through the two obviously arched architectural structures.
