Description

In Parthenon, where solutions found to issues of composition make manifest the influences which Kogevinas absorbed in Paris from the post-Impressionists. The subject is placed high on the horizon, and the Sacred Rock and the buildings are rendered by means of stylised surfaces, while the depiction of the trees in the foreground interrupts the vista to the background, bringing all the features of the picture close to the beholder.
