George Papassavas (January 28, 1924) is a painter who has traveled extensively throughout Latin America.
Born in Stavroupoli, Greece, Papassavas against his father's will taught himself the techniques of the classical artist at a young age. At the age of 17, he was put into exile and forced into labor by the invading Bulgarian army. After his return to Greece, he began formal study at the Athens School of Fine Arts. In 1955, after being enchanted by Stefan Zweig's Brazil: A Land of the Future, Papassavas journeyed with his wife to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where he studied under Candido Portinari. In search of artistic inspiration, Papassavas made several trips throughout South America observing both its people and natural environment. In 1967, he moved to United States and continued his development in art at Harvard University.
Papassavas has had numerous one-man and group shows throughout Europe, South America and the United States. His work is included in museums, libraries, and both private and corporate collections. His art has also been featured in many newspapers, magazines and books.
The paintings of George Papassavas reflect a realistic movement of figures with hard outlines, lyrical color and an overall sense of rhythm and poetry. Bold outlines and warm colors characterize his dominate style in painting.
