Description
favorite subject of Angelos Theodoropoulos’s engraving from the early 1940s onwards is the island (mainly Cycladic) landscape and above all the rendering of its characteristic architecture. This particular woodcut composition has several peculiarities compared to the rest of the island landscapes that the artist has captured, as there are several different levels of geometric volumes. The composition is defined on either side by the performance of a cluster of characteristic Cycladic houses, lined up in perspective so that they converge in the background. It is assumed that this choice of the artist is made to serve the rendering of perspective and depth. In the central part of the composition, a multi-layered composition is depicted: in the first, the typical Cycladic cobblestone pavement is depicted, which is interrupted by the presence of two simultaneous but contrasting compositions. Scales are depicted on the second level. On the left (as viewed by the viewer) is the characteristic external staircase leading to the entrance of a Cycladic residence, while on the right is the lower scale of the communal cobbled street of the settlement, which is defined at the top by an arched architectural member. Finally, the cloudy sky is barely visible in the upper part of the composition and centrally. Thus, Angelos Theodoropoulos tries to create different levels of geometric volumes, in order to highlight the special Cycladic architecture.
