Notes: Initially a student of Parthenis at the School of Fine Art in Athens, Engonopoulos is considered the founder of Surrealism in Greek art. Known for his erotic depictions of nude or partially dressed male and female figures, he incorporated elements of mythology, history and antiquity within a contemporary idiom.
