Est: £20,000 - £30,000
Michalis Economou (Greek, 1888-1933) Fishing boat at sunset signed 'M.Economou' (lower left)oil on board54.2 x 65.5 cm. Provenance: The Antonopoulos collection, Patras and Athens. Thence by descent to the present owner's private collection, Canada and United States.We are grateful to Mrs Afroditi Kouria for her assistance in authenticating this lot.Handled with loosely painted, abbreviated curvilinear forms and stripped of superfluous descriptive detail, Economou's peacefully floating boat1 is transformed into a highly evocative image that feels more like a distant recollection than an actual sensory experience. Fishing boat at sunset prioritizes atmosphere and lyrical feeling above realistic depiction. Introduced by the water reflections that lead the eye from the foreground to the middleground, the poetic mood permeates the entire seascape, turning it into an expressive field that records the artist's emotional and intellectual response to the natural environment. The juxtaposition of soft and heavily worked forms bathed in diffused light creates an ambivalent sense of presence/absence in a poetic 'timescape' where human presence is suggested rather than actually depicted.2 Note how the fisherman is so integrated in the poetic atmosphere that he dissolves into his natural surroundings, partaking in the ethereal vagueness and lyrical uncertainty of space.Moreover, the depiction of the sun, a motif often found in folk Greek art but rarely encountered in Modern Greek and European painting, endows the atmosphere with transient gleams of light and golden luminosities, accentuating the romantic feeling. In 1927, D. Kokkinos noted that the works by Economou were true works of poetry, but so masterfully rendered that their significance as paintings prevailed.1 For a discussion of the boat motif in Economou's work, see A. Kouria, Michalis Economou, Fifty Years from his Death [in Greek], Zygos magazine, no. 56, November-December 1982, p. 15.2 Kouria, Michalis Economou [in Greek], Adam editions, Athens 2001, pp. 106-116.

Michalis Economou (Greek, 1888-1933) Mega Spileo 50 x 60 cm.
Est: £20,000 - £30,000
Michalis Economou (Greek, 1888-1933) Mega Spileo signed 'M. Economou' (lower right)oil on canvas50 x 60 cm. Provenance: Private collection, Athens.Literature: A. Kouria, M. Economou, Adam editions, Athens 2001, no. 93, p. 256 (catalogued), p. 141 (illustrated).Built along a precipitous cliff at the mouth of the Chelmos Cave in northern Peloponnese in 362 AD by Theodoros and Symeon, two monks from Thessaloniki, historic Mega Spileo, the Great Cave Monastery, is reputedly the oldest in Greece and one of the most important pilgrimage sites for Orthodox Christians. Dedicated to the Assumption, the cloister was once among the richest in the Greek world, owning properties in Macedonia, Constantinople and Asia Minor, and housing important Byzantine manuscripts and relics. It was fortified during the Greek War of Independence and though it was repeatedly attacked it never fell into enemy hands. Following a devastating fire, it was rebuilt in 1937, while new buildings were added in the postwar period.Economou's Mega Spileo amply demonstrates the artist's interpretative approach to the natural and man-made environments. Handled with an abstract expressive vocabulary, the imposing landmark and the craggy, overhanging cliffs, with their stylised shapes and undulating, curvilinear forms, become a screen on which the artist projects his inner world. Likewise, the three vertical1 cypresses in the foreground, with their slender, sinuous lines and flowing, delicate forms seem to have lost their earthly substance, generating a sense of spiritual and moral uplift that recalls Parthenis' beloved cypresses. Infused with ethereal light and a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere, and revealing a magnificent vagueness and poetic uncertainty of space, the entire canvas is transformed into a subjective image charged with symbolic, almost metaphysical import, perfectly matching the religious subject. 1 The vertical is a quintessentially idealistic line symbolising faith and uplift towards the heavens.

Michalis Economou (Greek, 1888-1933) Landscape indistinctly signed (lower right)oil on flannel 49 x 61 cm. With a handwritten certification of authenticity from the artist's wife on the reverse of the canvas.Provenance: D. Pieridis collection.Private collection, Athens.Bonhams, The Greek sale, 12 December 2006, lot 98.Acquired from the above sale by the present owner.LiteratureA. Kouria, Michalis Economou, Adam publications, Athens 2001, p. 108 and 146 (illustrated). "To produce an accurate likeness of nature has no meaning. My intention is to convey emotion, as much emotion as possible." M. EconomouA superb painting of vibrating pulse and melodic rhythm, Landscape amply demonstrates M. Economou's interpretative approach to nature. Starting out from an impressionistic rendition of light and colour sensations, this true master of early 20th century Greek art adopts an abstractive vocabulary combined with an inward lyricism to formulate a new perception of the landscape. Nature (trees and mountains in the background) and man-made structures (farmhouses and cottages in the fore - and middle grounds) alike, with their stylised shapes, sinuous lines and undulating, curvilinear forms, become a screen on which the artist projects his inner world. Infused with an ethereal light and a dreamlike atmosphere, reality is transformed into images of a subjective truth charged with a symbolic, almost metaphysical import. Landscape probably dates after 1926, the year the artist returned to Greece from France, and was most probably completed in 1927, when he had his second one-man show in Athens and first showed his oils on flannel. Most of the works included in this exhibition were Greek landscapes - from Attica, the isle of Poros and elsewhere - and reveal a magnificent vagueness and poetic uncertainty of space. (In his later output, as the artist returned to oils on card and canvas, his resilient contours tend to harden and light becomes more specific.) "In 1927, his forms are freer and more graceful and there are no narratives or detailed descriptions. His brushstrokes don't leave a trace, his surfaces are unified, without contrasts, colours are diffused and outlines flow."1Reviewing his 1927 show, art critic Z. Papantoniou noted: "He is looking for new expressive means and materials that faithfully match his intentions. He paints on flannel - his 'fuzzy' canvases as he himself calls them, to better capture the iridescent greys, light blues and precious bright blacks."2 "With his 'fuzzy' canvases Economou proceeds to a more subjective interpretation of the natural environment. His vision has now changed. The landscapes, houses and trees, rendered in an elliptical, abbreviated manner without descriptive details, with flat surfaces on which his brushwork is now invisible and his colour scheme non-naturalistic, have assumed the semblance of visions. To realize his inspirational zeal, the artist uses white or coloured flannel that softens the tones and whose nap endows the surface with a peculiar, velvet-like texture, while lessening the definition of outlines. Objects seem to have lost their weight. The houses, rendered in curvilinear forms, have lost their volume; the trees have become ethereal cypresses and pines. His works, especially the ones on flannel, betray his appreciation of the expressive capacity of abstraction and simplification, a key principle of modern art."3 According to A. Kouria who prepared the monograph on the artist, "this output can be considered the most personal expression of Economou's art. The landscape, no longer just a pictorial space, becomes an expressive-symbolic field recording the artist's emotional and intellectual response to the stimuli offered by the natural environment. Light, colour and line become the main vehicles of the artist's feelings... An ambivalent sense of presence/absence suffuses these silent images, suspended between real time and memory, in a poetic 'timescape' where human presence is suggested rather than depicted. A latent energy, a secret, surreptitious life force enlivens these paintings."4In 1927, D. Kokkinos noted that the latest works by Economou were true works of poetry, but so masterfully rendered that their significance as paintings prevailed.5 As noted by Kouria, art critics of the time urged art lovers to hasten and purchase these works, stressing that some of them belonged in the National Gallery. In light of the critical and popular acclaim his two one-man shows (1926 and 1927) met with, it's no wonder that his works adorned the collections of major early 20th century Greek collectors, such as C. Loulis, G. Stringos and A. Benakis.6 1. E. Andreadi, Michalis Economou and his Relationship with the Surrounding Nature, Eikastika magazine, no. 24, December 1983, p. 35.2. Z.

Est: £15,000 - £20,000
Michalis Economou (Greek, 1888-1933) Martigues signed 'M. Economou' (lower right)oil on canvas 33 x 46 cm. We are grateful to Aphroditi Kouria for her assistance in authenticating this lot.A recent find and important addition to the artist's Paris oeuvre, this evocative representation of weather-beaten seaside houses rendered in highly textured forms, is a vision of 'humble monumentality' suspended between real time and memory. During his twenty-year stay in the French capital (1906-1926), Economou travelled extensively throughout Bretagne, Normandy and the south of France, especially the area around Martigues,1 depicting quaint streets, weathered houses and old mills captured in a wide range of subtle tonalities. Although these monolithic seaside structures have a sculptural quality that articulates a sense of stability and permanence, the whole subject generates a poetic atmosphere more like a distant, vague recollection than an actual sense experience. This distilled mood is accentuated by the foreground reflections—a favourite and recurrent theme throughout Economou's career—and an elusive sense of human presence, suggested rather than actually depicted at the balcony door.1. Martigues, the 'Venice of Provence' as it is often called, is a town close to Marseilles that attracted such towering figures of modern art as Derain, Dufy and Braque.

Michalis Economou (Greek, 1888-1933) House by the sea signed 'M. Economou' (lower left)oil on canvas 60 x 46 cm. Provenance: Christie's, Greek Sale, 14 December 1994, lot 91.Acquired from the above sale by the present owner.LiteratureA. Kouria, M. Economou, Adam editions, Athens 2001, no. 134, p. 257 (catalogued), p. 181 (illustrated).Economou felt the heartbeat of the Greek seaside landscape and captured something of its unique character, while at the same time conveying his own emotional response to its evocative charm. Here, using swift and freely applied brushstrokes informed by gestural verve, he distilled a mood of tenderness and poetry from an ordinary subject, transforming it into an image of subjective truth—a screen on which the artist has projected his inner wonderland. Exquisite in colour and tone, and faultless in design and execution, this poetic vision of 'humble monumentality' shows him in full command of his artistic powers, which flowered after his return to Greece from France in 1926. The eye is invited into the picture through the wonderful reflections on shallow still waters in the foreground and then travels upward towards the precipitous cliff in the upper right corner, following the pronounced diagonal of the large stairway which 'rules over' the pictorial space. Two female figures chatting in the middleground soften this upward thrust, while at the same time they enliven the composition with their bright dresses, contributing to the harmony of the whole and welding natural environment, human presence and man-made structures into a compelling entity.The motif of the house reflected on water, a recurrent theme throughout Economou's oeuvre, echoing distant memories and early experiences, creates a binary scheme finely balanced on the peaceful waterline. As noted by Professor A. Kotidis, the element of reverse symmetry introduced by the reflection of the solid on the fluid, this coexistence of the man-made/solid with the natural/liquid provides the painter a bipolarity that allows him to express his psychological state and find equilibrium in his pictorial world.11.

* MICHALIS ECONOMOU (1888-1933) Fishing boats at sunset signed ‘M.Economou’ (lower right) oil on board 70 x 98.5 cm. Provenance The Antonopoulos collection, Patras and Athens. Thence by descent to the present owner’s private collection, Canada and United States. We are grateful to Mrs Afroditi Kouria for her assistance in authenticating this lot. An evocative work by Economou, a master of early 20th century Greek art, Fishing boats at sunset, possibly from the later phase of the artist’s career, beautifully depicts the peaceful floating of boats in shallow waters. Although the seascape is easily identified as such, the artist’s loose handling of paint, abbreviated curvilinear forms and lack of descriptive detail transform it into a highly poetic image. Here an atmosphere more like a distant, vague recollection than an actual sensory experience is generated to great effect. Fishing boats at sunset prioritizes atmosphere and lyrical feeling above realistic depiction. The poetic mood that pervades is introduced by the water reflections in the foreground that lead the viewer’s eye to the centre of the composition,1 creating a suspension between real time and memory. “The landscape, no longer just a pictorial space, becomes an expressive-symbolic field recording the artist’s emotional and intellectual response to the stimuli offered by the natural environment. Light, colour and line become the main vehicles of the artist’s feelings. An ambivalent sense of presence/absence suffuses these silent images in a poetic ‘timescape’ where human presence is suggested rather than actually depicted.”2 This is achieved through the soft forms of the seascape features on the heavily worked surface, particularly in the boat and the sail. Note how the fisherman on the main boat is so integrated in the poetic atmosphere that he dissolves into his natural surroundings, partaking in the ethereal vagueness and lyrical uncertainty of space. Economou is interested in the spatial relationship between figure and surrounding space, and the pictorial unity of the figure and its environment. This need to unite figures and surroundings into a cohesive and meaningful whole -- a lifelong preoccupation of the artist -- dictates a uniform handling of energetic brushwork throughout the picture plan. In 1927, D. Kokkinos noted that the works by Economou were true works of poetry, but so masterfully rendered that their significance as paintings prevailed. 1.

Est: €16,000 - €20,000
Oil on wood Greece, between 1929 and 1931 Michalis Economou (also Oikonomou) (1888-1933) - Greek impressionist painter Signed lower left 'M. Economou' Catalogue raisonné: Aphrodite Kouria, M. Economou 1884-1933, Athens, 2001, no. 178, p. 229, illustrated; p. 259 (with incorrect dimensions) Overall dimensions, framed: 48 x 39 cm Good condition Provenance: Greek Private Collection; Sotheby's Catalogue 'The Greek Sale', 12 May 2005, L05100 Landscapes, aflame with the soft, southern light, are the speciality of the Greek impressionist Michalis Economou; the landscape at hand is a very fine example and was sold at Sotheby's in 2005 for 70,000 Euro This gently coloured painting by the Greek impressionist Michalis Economou shows a blue rowing boat lying still in the water in front of a plain, whitewashed house. The light blue sky and the house are reflected in the sluggish water. Only a small female figure in front of the house appears to be busy on this hot day. She is dressed in a blue skirt and brown top with a white bonnet on her head. This summery scene seems to have been hastily captured by the painter, who was influenced by Manet and Matisse in France and yet found his very own style. The southern sunlight appears almost tangible, making the heat shimmer over the water and creating an interesting interplay of light and dark. The small painting is in good condition with only minor traces of age. Right above the red roof is a small paint chip; minimal paint loss is also noticeable around the boat. The painting is signed 'M. Economou' lower left. The overall dimensions including the frame are 48 x 39 cm; the wooden panel measures 35.5 x 24.5 cm. The panel was additionally mounted onto a chipboard panel. Michalis Economou (also Oikonomou) (1888-1933) Michalis Economou was born in Piraeus, Greece. He received his first lessons from Constantinos Volanakis (1837-1907), one of the most significant Greek painters of the 19th Century. In 1906 Economous moved to Paris, where he tried to earn a living as an engineer. In 1909 he quit this job in order to paint. His works were repeatedly shown in Paris and London in both solo and group exhibitions. Economou returned to Greece in 1926, working as a painter for the rest of his life. Several of his works can be seen in museums, for example in the National Gallery in Athens.
