Yannis Moralis (1916 –  2009) was one of the most prominent Greek artists of the 20th century. His election to the Athens School of Fine Arts and his teaching work there for 35 consecutive years (from February 1948 to August 1983 in particular) proved to be of decisive importance in relation to a series of choices and directions of artistic production in Greece in the years that followed. He was born in Arta but his family settled in 1927 permanently in Athens, in Pagrati. In the same year, the young Moralis, having made the decision to become a painter, began attending the “Sunday course” at the Athens School of Fine Arts (ASFA). 1931 is the year in which he prepares for the entrance examinations to the Athens School of Fine Arts. He succeeds and enrols in the preparatory department with Dimitrios Geraniotis as his professor. He then met Yannis Tsarouchis and Christos Kapralos. Moralis is among the students that Konstantinos Parthenis chooses for his workshop. A year later, in 1932, D. Kokkinos publishes in the magazine Nea Estia (1/8/1932) the first enthusiastic review of “the young Mr. Voralis”, as he insists on calling him in the article, on the occasion of the exhibition of the students of the ASFA. Yannis Moralis was then only 16 years old. At the same time he begins attending the new printmaking workshop of Yannis Kefallinos, with fellow student Tassos.
