First edition, pp 134; printed in an edition of 1000 copies to accompany an exhibition at the Portalakis Collection Gallery. Review copy with press releases laid in. Although Bouzianis is more often associated with the motives of German Expressionism, he was a forerunner of the other three painters and provided a path into an original Modernism with a distinctly Greek character. Modernism in Greece is usually associated with The Generation of the Thirties, in which the three were active participants. Very fine, and quite scarce. Beautifully designed and produced.
