The \u201cVictory\u201d exhibited at the National Glyptotheque is a composition with five fragmentary figures, with the figure of Nike commanding the right side. Freely exploiting the ancient prototype of the \u201cNike of Paionios\u201d, it was made in 1967 in recollection of a specific historical event: the victory of the Israelis in the Six Day War of June 1967. For Vangelis Moustakas this event had a particular resonance, as he considers the Jewish people to embody par excellence the pain and tribulation suffered by all humankind. So this Victory expresses the end of centuries of terror.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The human being \u2013 as form or idea \u2013 is the focus of Vangelis Moustakas\u2019 sculpture.
