Ioannis Avramidis was born in Vatum, Russia. In 1943 he settled in Vienna, where for a number of years he was a professor and Director of the Academy of Fine Arts.<\/p>\n

The full-length male figure, heir to the ancient Kouros, dominates his oeuvre. <\/p>\n

In 1967, Avramidis began a series of figures that he called \u201cBandfiguren\u201d \u2013 i.e. Figures in Bands or rows. He also introduced movement into these compositions. \u201cWalker\u201d is the prelude to this new concept. Maintaining the frontality and using the ancient Kouros as a prototype, Avramidis concentrated his treatment exclusively on the schematized depiction of the figure\u2019s legs. Thus he created a thoroughly abstract composition, yet one that despite the omission of the head, body and arms, remains totally clear in its concept.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
