The Unique World of Spyros Vassiliou

When the invitation postcard for this year’s ‘Natures Mortes’ exhibition arrived on my desk, I looked at the items portrayed thereon: an old phonograph, a mandolin, a violin and bow, a neoclassical box, a flute, a candle and, naturally, a komboloi, plus the monumental ‘Lights and Shadows’ and the blue magic of the ‘Window on the Sea’ record-cover—the everyday world of Spyros Vassiliou. An assortment? Far from it.
