\nHe was a member of the Greek Chamber of Fine Arts, the Greek Sculptors Association and the \u201cFree Artists\u201d group. His works can be found in public spaces in Athens, Argos and Hydra, in the Municipality of Athens, the Municipality of Piraeus and the Ministry of Education, as well as in private collections.
\nUsing marble, bronze and terracotta, Euripides Vavouris focused on the realistic rendering of the human form. He was also the first to systematically deal with animal figures, which he rendered in characteristic poses, capturing familiar, everyday moments. Zacharias Papantoniou, in fact, director of the National Gallery of Greece, was the first to use the term \u201cAnimalier\u201d to refer to his works.
\n\u201cThe Little Donkey\u201d, which belongs to the collection of the National Gallery and was presented in 1937, in plaster, at the exhibition of the \u201cFree Artists\u201d group, is one of his first works in the field of animal sculpture and is rendered in a realistic style in a moment of calm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
