The exhibition taking place in Athens between the 29th of January and the 21st of March depicts the historic transformation that ancient sculpture had. It exhibits the pieces of two artists using the daring transmogrification of wood and cardboard into bronze, as well as their subject, which is the demonstrative art from antiquity, until the time of expressionism. Baselitz attempts to enrich the traditional bounds of representational art, reimagining his artwork’s repeated motifs. In his large oil paintings, figures made out of chipped and brightly painted wood combine traditional woodworking art with elements of primitivism and folk art.

At the same time, “Mask”, by Grotjahn, which began out of a spontaneous combination of cardboard and was finally turned into a mould to create a bronze sculpture, depicts every tiny detail in the piece of art.
