Moralis, Traces, Museum of Contemporary Art – Basil and Elise Goulandris Foundation, June 29 - September 28, 2008, no. 44 (catalogued, p. 238 [257], and illustrated in the exhibition catalogue, p. 123).

The juxtaposition of the fair-skinned female figure in the foreground with the darker male form pointing towards the far-away sea—which ingeniously alludes to Attic black-figure vase painting—charges the composition with a vibrant rhythm and pronounced erotic undercurrent. 'The sea, the island, the summer. A white body. The sea expands the landscape; you can hear its roar,' said poet Yannis Kondos when he saw Moralis's 2006 show. 'Curves and darker hues unwrap dreams.'1 As Nobel laureate O. Elytis once said of Moralis, 'by using a limited vocabulary of form, in which recurrent and opposing curves of ochre and black dominate, Moralis has succeeded—in a manner unprecedented in Greek art—to transform the language of the natural world into a purely visual phenomenon. Memories and encounters are repeatedly distilled until they blend into forms of great simplicity and precision. The body of a young girl emerges with the dampness of the sea, like a magnified fragment of an ancient Greek vase or a miniature fresco from a bygone place of worship.'2 From the 1970s to the first decade of the 21st century, as clearly demonstrated in his Zoumboulakis gallery one-man show in November 2006,3 Moralis had consistently adhered to the principles of geometric abstraction, exploring its mystical pathways and taking his place among its leading exponents.4 As noted by D. Papastamos, former Director of the National Gallery in Athens, 'in this, more advanced stage of his geometric abstraction distinguished by dynamic rhythm and expressive movement, he launches out into compositions dealing with human relationships, incorporating the male body into his interlocking geometric patterns. It seems to me that these are the artist's happy moments, depicted in a beautiful environment of luminous colour and irresistibly erotic humanity.'5 1 Y. Kondos, 'Yannis Moralis: Love, Abstraction and the Sea in his Last Exhibition', November 2006, in Secret Landscapes, [in Greek], Topos editions, Athens 2014, pp. 140-141.2 O. Elytis, preface to the Moralis exhibition catalogue, Iolas-Zoumboulakis Gallery, Athens 1972. 3 As noted by P. Zoumboulaki, 'the ten pieces exhibited in 2006 were created during the last five years on the island of Aegina, the place where Moralis works and spends most of his time. Even though the artist never speaks about his art, this collection reveals a high degree of sensitivity, evoking personal experiences, feelings and memories.' Preface to the Moralis exhibition catalogue, Zoumboulakis Galleries, Athens 2006.4 K. Koutsomallis, 'The Painting of Yannis Moralis, a Tentative Approach' in Y. Moralis, Traces, Museum of Contemporary Art - Basil and Elise Goulandris Foundation, Andros 2008, p. 30.5 D. Papastamos, 'Yannis Moralis the Artist', in Yannis Moralis, Commercial Bank of Greece, Athens 1988, p. 26.Ce magnifique tableau, qui se distingue par la poésie et l'érotisme dégagés par la ligne courbe, résume à lui seul l'obsession ancienne de l'artiste non seulement pour rendre la forme humaine suggestive, mais également pour traduire le rythme intérieur et la résonance musicale générés par la combinaison de types, formes et couleurs variés. La juxtaposition du personnage féminin à la peau blanche qui figure au premier plan et du personnage masculin pointant vers la mer au loin – qui fait ingénieusement allusion aux personnages en noir des vases attiques – charge la composition d'un rythme vibrant et l'irrigue d'un puissant courant érotique sous-jacent. «La mer, l'île, l'été. Un corps blanc. La mer élargit le paysage, au point que l'on peut entendre son grondement,' écrivait le poète Yannis Kondos lorsqu'il a vu l'exposition de Moralis en 2006. «Les courbes et les teintes plus foncées ouvrent la porte des rêves.»Comme l'a déclaré le lauréat du Prix Nobel O. Elytis à propos de Moralis, «en utilisant un vocabulaire formel limité, où dominent des courbes récurrentes et opposées d'ocre et de noir, Moralis a réussi – d'une manière qui n'a aucun précédent dans l'art grec – à transformer le monde naturel en un phénomène purement visuel. Les souvenirs et les rencontres sont constamment distillés jusqu'à se fondre dans des formes d'une grande simplicité et d'une grande précision. Le corps d'une jeune fille émerge de la moiteur de la mer, comme un fragment magnifié d'un vase grec antique ou d'une fresque miniature d'un ancien lieu de culte.»Entre les années 1970 et la première décennie du 21ème siècle, comme en témoigne l'exposition qui lui a été exclusivement consacrée dans la galerie Zoumboulakis en novembre 2006, Moralis a constamment adhéré aux principes de l'abstraction géométrique, explorant ses chemins mystiques et prenant toute sa place parmi les représentants majeurs de ce courant. Comme l'a fait observer D. Papastamos, ancien directeur de la Galerie nationale d'Athènes, «à ce stade plus avancé de son abstraction géométrique, distinguée par un rythme dynamique et un mouvement expressif, il se lance dans des compositions traitant des relations humaines, incorporant le corps masculin dans ses motifs géométriques entremêlés. Il me semble que ces compositions sont le reflet des moments heureux de l'artiste, et qu'elles ont été peintes dans un bel environnement inondé de lumière...
