Georgios Bouzianis (Greek, 1885-1959) Seated Man, Antonios Hariatis charcoal on paper 99 x 69 cm. Painted c. 1944. Footnotes: Literature Eptanisiaka Fylla magazine, vol. XV, no.4, Winter 1989 (illustrated). This portrait of Antonis Hariatis is the largest of the 40 works (oils, crayons and charcoals) Bouzianis painted during his private tutorials to the sitter's sister, painter Katerina Hariati, from 1943 to 1959. As noted by art critic Alexandros Xydis, 'Bouzianis came to Greece in 1935 to teach at the Athens School of Fine Arts. Given that this arrangement was never carried out, these few studies—evidence of an unusual teaching process—are of great value. They shed light to an aspect of this great artist's modest personality and creative genius.'1 1 A.
