SUMMARY:Celebrating Faith in Late Byzantium: The Valadoros Epitaphios at the Benaki Museum
DESCRIPTION:This talk\, delivered by Professor Anastasia Drandaki\, presents the story of the exciting discovery of the Valadoros Epitaphios\, a rare\, gold-embroidered fourteenth- century epitaphios and a true masterpiece of Byzantine art. The epitaphios is part of the bequest of the siblings Anastasios and Maria Valadoros\, which includes more than 300 icons and a large number of ancient and ecclesiastical artifacts\, rare editions and incunabula. The Valadoros collection is representative of the taste as well as the finances of a particularly cultivated representative of a flourishing middle class\, which maintained contact with scholars\, dealers\, and collectors both from Greece and abroad. However\, the content of the collection is eminently Hellenocentric. In the person of Tasos Valadoros\, profound knowledge of ancient philosophy and the patristic texts was combined with his deep familiarity with the texture of silk fabrics. At the same time\, his profession as a merchant of luxury ecclesiastical textiles brought him into contact and relations of mutual respect with prelates from the entire Orthodox world. \nThe lecture will be offered on Zoom. Please RSVP to hellenic@humnet.ucla.edu to receive the link. You must download the Zoom app prior to the lecture in order to participate.

SUMMARY:Aliki Tsigialou\, "Nelly's: Reflections on the Life and Work of the Female Photographer Elli Seraidari-Sougioultzoglou (1899-1998)
DESCRIPTION:A native of Aydin in Asia Minor\, Elli Souyioultzoglou-Seraidari–better known by her professional name of Nelly’s–was first influenced by German trends in photography. The two main characteristics of her work\, and indeed of her life\, were freedom and movement. She owed her pictorial technique and her classical sense of aesthetics to the influence of her German teachers\, Hugo Erfurth and Franz Fiedler. However\, in 1924\, after establishing herself in Athens and opening a photography studio in Ermou Street\, she adopted a more Greek-centered and conservative approach to her work. An early interest in portraiture\, maintained throughout her professional career in Greece and the USA\, provides us with rare pictures of interwar Athenian society\, as well as an important source of information on America’s Greek immigrants. From 1927 until the outbreak of World War II\, Nelly’s traveled throughout Greece\, documenting the entire panorama of Greek life. As a Diaspora Greek\, Nelly’s view of Greece tended to be somewhat “idealized”. Her photographs appeared in official tourist publications that were circulated abroad\, and contributed to creating the earliest visual symbols of Greece’s “philosophy regarding tourism.” She systematically depicted the ancient monuments and archaeological sites of Greece. Her experiments with natural light and her photographs of ancient temples\, demonstrating their interrelationship\, are true masterpieces\, bringing to mind the work of Erfurth’s German student\, Walter Hege. Nelly’s photographs of dancers in Germany and\, above all\, on the Acropolis (1923-29) demonstrate exceptional thematic cohesion and identify her as one of the leading dance photographers of the interwar period. Having gone into self-imposed exile in the USA following the outbreak of World War II in 1939\, she added advertising photography\, color photography and photo reporting (New York streets & Easter Parade) to her range of skills\, although she was not overly influenced by the trends of contemporary American photography. Nelly’s died in Athens\, after a lifetime of passionate dedication to her art. She left a body of work\, which remains exemplary from both an artistic and a technical standpoint; it represents a valuable legacy to the photographers of today. \nFor a Zoom link for this lecture\, please RSVP: hellenic@humnet.ucla.edu

SUMMARY:Mina Moraitou\, "'Mr. Byzantoine et ses amis': Antonis Benakis and the Art Scene of Alexandria"
DESCRIPTION:Antonis Benakis was born in Egypt into a Greek family with a strong sense of duty towards society. He maintained close ties with the homeland and had\, as all Greeks did\, a strong sense of Greek identity although he was born and raised abroad. In a time of irredentist ideas\, he contributed to Greece’s struggle to expand its borders by supporting operations or participating along with other family members. As he was growing up in Alexandria\, Benakis became a passionate art collector. His had a wide range of interests and gradually he managed to form remarkable collections.This paper will focus on the artistic scene of Alexandria during the years before the move to Athens\, the contribution of the Greek community and especially the role of Antonis Benakis. Furthermore\, it will highlight the eclectic taste of the collector and the way in which it was reflected in the creation of the Benaki Museum in Athens.  \nMina Moraitou is Curator of the Benaki Museum of Islamic Art \nTo register for the Zoom lecture\, please RSVP to hellenic@humnet.ucla.edu \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
