Municipal
Gallery of Rhodes The Municipal Gallery
of Rhodes was inaugurated in 1962 by Andreas Ioannou, a student of modern
Greek painting, who was Prefect of the Dodekanese at the time. The
Gallery today houses one of the most representative and authoritative collections
of 20th-century Greek painting. Most of the Greek painters who worked creatively
during these nine decades, developing the features of modern Greek painting,
are represented in this collection through some of their most characteristic
works. There are works which marked the creative evolution of these
artists, and which were presented in formal exhibitions both in Greece
and abroad. The collection of the Municipal Art Gallery includes works
by K. Maleas, C. Parthenis, F. Kontoglou, Theophilos, N. Hadjikyriakos-Ghikas,
Sp. Vassiliou, J. Spyropoulos, Y. Gaitis, Fassianos, Kessanlis, Chr. Botsoglou,
Moralis, Tsarouchis and many other Greek artists.
