Classical Memories in Modern Greek Art

The Classical Memories in Modern Greek Art exhibition at the Beijing Capital Museum from October 18 to November 16 portrays the classical spirit of ancient Greece by modern Greek artists.

The exhibition is under the auspices of the Greek Ministry of Culture in the context of the Cultural Year of Greece in China.

This exhibition, which comprises 63 works of art, aspires to present the reception of the classical spirit of ancient Greece (ideas, themes, figures) by Modern Greek artists, the ways in which they have been inspired by it, as well as the ways in which they represented it in their art during the
20th century.

Encouraged by a return of art towards tradition throughout Europe in the 1930s, Greek artists re-affiliated themselves with their ancestral heritage. However, Greek tradition is not limited to classical antiquity. That is why the return to tradition frequently mingled together many sources,
creating a fascinating hybrid, the catalyst being the formal experience of modern art.
