Andreas Embirikos (Greek: Ανδρέας Εμπειρίκος; 1901 – 1975) was a Greek surrealist poet and one of the first Greek psychoanalysts.

 

Nikos Egonopoulos (Greek: Νίκος Εγγονόπουλος; 1907 – 1985) was a Greek painter and poet. He is one of the most important members of Generation of the ’30s, as well as a major representative of the surrealist movement in Greece. His work as a writer also includes critique and essays.

 

Vaso Katraki (Greek: Βάσω Κατράκη, 1914 – 1988) was a Greek painter and engraver. She was known for her passionate depictions of the sufferings of the Greek people during and after World War II. In 1967 she was exiled to a barren island by the military junta on the day that it took power. She started with wood engraving, then developed an original and very unusual technique of sandstone engraving.
