Lykourgos Kogevinas (1887-1940), Engraver and Painter Bilingual catalogue with color illustrations and essays by the art historians and curators of the homonymous exhibition –held at the E. Averoff Gallery from 2 October to 29 November 2004– Aphrodite Kouria (paintings) and Irini Orati (engravings), based on their original research and scholarship. Also includes complete biography of the artist, photographic documentation, list of exhibitions, and bibliographical appendix. Kogevinas had a multi-faceted artistic career as artist-correspondent during the Balkan Wars, as an engraver and illustrator in Paris and Athens, and as a painter. His paintings reveal his deep sensitivity to the subtle values of colour and the importance of composition. Although one of the first Greek artists to embrace impressionism, his paintings and especially his landscapes are more realistic, with overtones of the synthetic symbolism of Puvis de Chavannes. 324 pages, 29X24 cm, soft cover, bilingual (Greek/English), Evangelos Averoff-Tossizza Foundation, 2004.
