To reunite with his grandmother, young Vassilis runs away from the orphanage, roams around the heart of Athens and then decides to take the train for Tripolis. He wanders about the mountainous regions of Arcadia and comes upon a young woman whose car has broken down. The two of them form an unexpected but equally beneficial alliance and continue their wanderings the whole summer, until the boy returns to his grandmother's house, a dilapidated ruin with no sign of life.
Giorgio de Chirico was born on July 10, 1888, in Volos, Greece, to an Italian family. His mother, Gemma Cervetto, was from a family of Genoa origin, but most likely she was born in Izmir. His father, Evaristo, was born on June 21, 1841 in the Büyükdere district of Istanbul.
French artist Félix Ziem is one of the most original landscape painters of the 19thcentury. The exhibition Wanderer on the Sea of Light presents Ziem as an artist who left his mark on 19th century painting and who is mostly known for his paintings of Istanbul and Venice, where the city and the sea are intertwined.
Objects also bear the memory of the geography to which they relate. Ceramics, with soil as their primary material, are directly linked to the land where they are produced: forging a direct relationship with earth, ceramics bear the memory of the soil where they come from.
