Synopsis
A collection of essays to celebrate the seventy-fifth birthday of the artist Stass Paraskos. Born into a peasant family in Cyprus in 1933, Paraskos went to England to work as a waiter in a Greek restaurant. There he met a group of artists from Leeds College of Art who persuaded him to join their college. Paraskos never looked back, going on to be a celebrated artist and educator. He became Head of Painting at the University for Creative Arts, and founder of the Cyprus College of Art, the first art college in his homeland of Cyprus. This book places Paraskos in context and deals with major events in his life, including the notorious trial in Leeds, in 1966, when he was prosecuted for obscenity following an exhibition of his paintings.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Norbert Lynton presents a critical appraisal of the artist Stass Paraskos. Once described by The Guardian newspaper as 'a peasant painter', Paraskos has often produced images that seem to tell of village life in his homeland of Cyprus. Painted in rich colours, and using a simplified figurative style, many of his scenes might have almost fallen from the pages of Kazantakis. Yet, as Lynton shows, Paraskos is also a sophisticated artist, educated in the West, but rooted in the East, who has successfully fused the visual traditions of Western Modernism with those of Byzantine Orthodoxy. From this, Paraskos has developed his own artistic language to take on a diverse range of themes, ranging from the political violence and violations of human rights that have marked his countrys history, to religious experience and the often comic follies of modern mass tourism.
