Melina Papageorgiou

This Greek artist worked in the 1960s, focusing on sharp-edged drawings and metal heads that look like they could slice the air. Try sketching the 1963 Outdoor study on paper, its ink lines slicing a sunlit city corner into jagged shapes. Then compare it to the 1966 Head, a metal face with cheekbones that catch the light and a mouth that doesn’t quite close—both pieces share the same cool, angular language. See how the 1967 Head repeats the trick one year later.
