Notes
This stunning 1948 work by Alexandros Alexandrakis exemplifies his masterful fusion of classical Greek tradition and modernist sensibilities. The serene portrayal of the female nude showcases the artist’s skill in capturing both emotional depth and physical form through soft, fluid brushwork and a vibrant color palette.
Part of the artist’s personal estate, this painting was exhibited in 1997 at Gallery K, London, and again in 1999 in Nicosia.
Featured in the book Alexandros Alexandrakis: The Nude (1998), this piece is a significant example of Alexandrakis’ exploration of the human figure and his contribution to modern Greek art.
With its direct provenance, critical exhibitions, and historical importance, Artist with Model VIII offers a unique opportunity for collectors of 20th-century European modernism.
