Antonis Vousvounis (1918–1980) was a Greek writer. He founded and managed the publishing house Glaros (1943–1946), was responsible for the publication of the magazine Ta Nea Grammata (from 1944), a collaborator of the magazine Tetradio (1945–1947), co-founder of the magazine Theatro (1958–1959) and founder of the publishing houses Galaxias and Kerameikos (1960s). After the imposition of the dictatorship in 1967 in Greece, he stopped his publishing activity, collaborating with the New Hellenic Library series and Ermeia publications. He was also a founding member of the National Society of Greek Writers. He died in Athens on May 17, 1980.

Yiannis Moralis (Greek: Γιάννης Μόραλης; 1916 – 2009) was an important Greek visual artist and part of the so-called “Generation of the ’30s”. He is a person who carried weight in many fields and found himself to be equally au courant. Furthermore, he exhibited a strong sense of responsibility when it came to confronting modern day problems. His art is distinct for the esoteric nature of its forms and its capacity and ability to suggest space.
