GRIGORIS
VLASSAS
Iason Apostolidis is one of the greatest Greek photographers. Modest, having won Greek and international distinctions, he played a leading role in the development of the art of photography in Greece.
I. Apostolidis did not practice the art of photography for a living and thus was not forced to make compromises in his work. In this book we find photographs from his extensive and quality work over the years, that record Greece and the inhabitants of its rural and island regions in a lively, realistic way, along with a series of purely phototechnic experiments.
His art, aesthetically perfect and functionally timeless, nostalgically and faithfully reconstitutes a Greece that has been lost forever, where toil ennobles human faces and where the artist’s gaze gives meaning to houses, fields and objects of everyday use.
