Petros Haris (1902-1998) was a Greek writer and academic. His first works are part of the climate of symbolism, as it was expressed in Greece through Constantinos Hatzopoulos. His writing is characterized by an essay style with low tones and edited form. The literary genre he cultivates is mainly the short story, while he also wrote travel texts and two novels, “Days of Anger” in 1979 and “The Windstorm” in 1992.
Yiannis Moralis (Greek: Γιάννης Μόραλης; also transliterated Yannis Moralis or Giannis Moralis; 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.
