Here, set in a luminous interior against a typically Greek island townscape crowned by the unmistakably Engonopoulean formations of travelling clouds, a voluptuous female nude reclines languidly on a sofa holding a red bud in her left hand (Engonopoulos adored flowers and especially roses) and looking towards a still-life with luscious fruit that discreetly heightens the sensuality of the scene. 'I love the nude body more than the face' the artist noted in an interview. 'I love it because it is the chalice of life. As expressive as life is, even when tired. As sparkling as life is, when young.'1 Equally brilliant is the colour, a key element throughout Engonopoulos' career. Applied side by side, the enamel-like reds and blues invite the viewer to a festive ritual of pure colour. 'Engonopoulos is a wizard with colour, which he handles with conscious daring, unique aptitude and undisputed love.'2 As Errieti Engonopoulou, his daughter, notes, 'for him each colour has its own value, its own voice'3; much the same as in Byzantine art, which Engonopoulos always considered the art form Greeks most closely relate to.4 1 Apogevmatini newspaper, August 2, 1969.2 S.
