Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghika (Greek, 1906-1994) Landscape, 1971 signed ' GHIKA/ 71' (lower right) oil on canvas laid on board 38.5 X 46 cm. Footnotes: Provenance Mr Peter Naylor, UK (acquired in 1971) and thence by descent to the present owners, UK. Exhibited Zoumboulakies Galleries, Athens, no 43, 1971. (possibly) A new addition to the artist's oeuvre recently discovered by Bonhams, Landscape, 1971 showcases Ghika's mastery in creating his own rich visual and stylistic vocabulary; a harmoniously balanced universe influenced by Cezanne and the Cubists (note the fractured planes and the spatial awareness in depicting multiple angles simultaneously) but ultimately connected to the unique light and landscape of his native land. Landscape, 1971 was acquired by Mr Peter Naylor, the British Council Representative in Athens during the early 1970s and mid-1980s, from a gallery exhibition in 1971, the year of the artwork's execution. It has been kept in the family ever since. During our research through the Ghika Gallery Archive/ Benaki Museum, we came across a work by Ghika under the title Lake in the mountain, 1971 of same dimensions but lacked any photo evidence that would allow us to securely identify it.
