The poignant and tragic tale of the bohemian poet Napoleon Lapathiotis, who lived from 1888 to 1944… As a homosexual, drug addict, and communist, Lapathiotis caused controversy in the society of Athens, especially within the social class from which he hailed. He was one of the most iconic figures of his era, not only due to the profound impact of his poems that bore the imprints of his life but also for the scandals he sparked.
Louis Isadore Kahn was born in 1901 to a Jewish family in Pärnu, Russia (today Estonia), far from Philadelphia where he spent his whole life, worked, fell in love, and breathed his last. Kahn family emigrated to America when he was five years old.

Among the most interesting themes in the oeuvre of Prassinos are cypresses, trees, and Turkish landscapes. The cypress woods in Üsküdar he saw every time he stepped out on the terrace of their house in İstanbul or the trees in Petits Champs must have been strong images of childhood for Prassinos.
