Demetrios Galanis

Demetrios Galanis made ink-on-paper portraits, often signing with the Greek spelling Γαλάνης. In “Ο Βυζάντιος ποζάρει στον δάσκαλό του Δ. Γαλάνη” he drew a man posing beside his teacher, the lines crisp and spare. The piece belongs to a small, unsigned body of work from the early 20th-century Paris art scene. Tap the portrait itself to zoom in on Galanis’s calligraphic line and the single architectural hat the sitter wears.
