GERASSIMOS STERIS (1898–1987) Morfes oil on canvas 72.5 x 60.2 cm. (28.5 × 23.7 in.) Painted c. 1928 oil on canvas Footnotes: Provenance Private collection, Paris and Athens. Exhibitions Athens, Benaki Museum, Steris, Works from the Koutoulakis Collection, May 23–July 27, 2008, no. 67 (illustrated in the exhibition catalog, p. 182). Mythical allusions and enigmatic imagery lend a dreamlike ambiance to Steris’s work. Drawing from the traditions of Symbolism, Cubism, Art Nouveau, and de Chirico’s luminous metaphysical ensembles, his canvases are immersed in a lyrical atmosphere of meditation and poetic nostalgia. Here, the reductive schematization of form is characteristic of the painter’s mature style. His figures, lost in deep thought, draw their origins from the idealistic tradition of ancient Greek sculpture. This sense of trance-like stillness, introversion, and timelessness transports the viewer to a heroic past—an austere world of archetypal forms—into the cave of Platonic ideas. Steris himself said that he would be happy if he could comprehend the ancient Greek vision—the paganism we see crystallized in the pediments of ancient temples.1 1.
