This untitled piece is by Dimitris Mytaras, who was born in Greece in 1934. Mytaras lived through the Axis occupation of Greece during World War II and its aftermath. In this colorful print, we see a woman with a complicated gaze, a hand resting on her shoulder. Mytaras's work often grapples with human figures, especially those marked by political turmoil and collective struggle. This piece might resonate with the experiences of women during wartime. One could imagine the dual aspect of the woman’s visage reflecting the internal conflicts and resilience required to navigate a world shattered by violence. Mytaras once said, "Art is a responsibility. It's a way of speaking about things that matter." This statement echoes through the art and serves as a lens through which we can consider our own responses to conflict and resilience.
