FASSIANOS (1935-2022)
Born in Athens, Alecos
Fassianos studied
at the School of Fine Arts (1953-1960) with Yannis Moralis. With a scholarship by the French
government he later
moved to Paris where he studied lithography by
Pierre-Eugène Clairin and
Georges Dayez at the École Nationale des
Beaux Arts (1960-1963). He had his first one-man
exhibition in Athens (1957). Many
other
solo
and group shows followed both in Athens and abroad.
He had also designed stage scenery and illustrated art books of renown
Greek and foreign poets and has designed Greek stamps among which one
of the issues for the Olympic Games

work finds itself between expressionism and surrealism with
an
intense naive and Greek character. He lived and worked in
Athens
and Paris. Alecos
