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. Thus, in this engraving composition, its vertical axis is initially distinguished, as the perspective is defined by the elevation rendering of the architectures. Furthermore. the characteristic Kyladite architectural rhythm of the island houses and settlements is captured with the narrow paved alley on the first level and the brick enclosure, the semi-circular staircase, as well as the double-leaf wooden door. Behind the enclosure, the characteristic architecture can be seen, with the arched roofs, the geometric axes of the houses, while the artist chooses to attribute to this specific composition the back of a temple, as well as its various geometric levels, ending in its multifaceted dome that leads the viewer’s gaze towards the open sky. A. Theodoropoulos renders the composition by combining certain cubist rules, mainly in rendering the volumes of the houses, and realistic elements.
