SIGNED, Andonis Fostieris, Yiannis Psychopedis, A Pictorial Conversation with Poetry, Zografiki Synomilia me tin Piisi, Greece, First Edition

Andonis Fostieris (Greek: Αντώνης Φωστιέρης; born 1953) is a Greek poet. He studied Law at the University of Athens and History of Law at Sorbonne, Paris. Since 1981, he is co-editor and director of the literary periodical Η λέξη.

Υiannis Psychopedis ( born 1945) is one of the main Greek exponents of artistic Critical Realism, an art movement that developed in Europe after the political and social upheavals of 1968. The May 1968 student rebellions in France, the Prague Spring uprising in Czechoslovakia, and the coup d’état establishing the Greek military junta of 1967-1974 were catalysts for this group.

In the 1980s Psychopedis broached the subject matter of female nudes. The use of colour pencils, which create a ‘fuzzy’ visual impression, became characteristic of this period of his work. At the end of the decade, Psychopedis turned his attention to pastels and oils, exploring bright contrasts of pure colour in his work “Hommage a Vincent”.
