About the Item
This 22 x 31.5 inches black and white chalk painting on canvas represents a Greek landscape. Olive and cypress trees populate the landscape. Tzannes is an American painter of Greek origins. In his twenties, he visited Kythera, the Greek island of his father's birth. Since then, the island has become the primary reference of his creativity. Using black and white to represent this landscape gives the mighty hundred-year-old olive trees a monumental presence. The viewer is drawn into the timeless, spiritual quality of the Greek landscape. Despite the absence of color, Tzannes' mastery of drawing creates a tangible effect of the Greek light that imbues everything. Using chalk and charcoal gives the image a perception of softness yet maintains close attention to details. Though figurative, this drawing transcends a literal depiction of reality. The olive and cypress trees have a theatrical impact, with the distant outline of the mountains under the cloudy, almost stormy sky. The timeless quality of this black and white landscape, its clarity and depth have a parallel in the photographic images by Ansel Adams.
