 Impressionism was the original influence on the leading figures of the art of the first half of the 20th century, Konstantinos Parthenis and Konstantinos Maleas, while Nikiphoros Lytras associated himself with the avant-garde groups of Munich constituting the last known link with the series of painters in the great tradition of Munich in Greek art .The further development of these painters led to other roads, but always within the framework of the avantgarde movement albeit with a Greek dimension.Gradually the impressionists and other modern schools increased their influence.
