 The same is true with the landscapes of Konstantinos Maleas and the expressionism of Georgios Bouzianis.The period of the 1930s was a landmark for the Greek painters, with Yiannis Tsarouchis, Yiannis Moralis, Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghikas, Spyros Vassiliou, Alekos Kontopoulos (introduced abstraction in Greek paintings) and Spyros Papaloukas coming into the limelight of Greek Art.These painters tried mainly to link leading European trends with Greek tradition.
