Anastasios Alevizos (1914 –  1985) was a Greek engraver, etcher and sculptor, who became famous under the name Tassos for his works on significant milestones of the 20th century history of Greece. He was born in Lefkochora of Messesnia in 1914. He studied in the School of High Arts in Athens at the age of 16, from 1933 til 1938 and attended the engraving classes in Kefallinos’ workshop. He was an apprentice in the workshops of great painters and sculptors such as Dimitrios Galanis, Argyros, Parthenis and others. He continued his studies in Rome, Florence and Paris. In 1938 he was awarded the Prize of Engraving and in 1940 the State Medal of Engraving. One of his engravings depicted the 1942 episode where the Greek resistance blew up the Gorgopotamos railway station.He is considered to be one of the most important representatives of Greek engravers and his works were exhibited in USA, Soviet Union, France, Italy and Japan.
