From Artist to Myth: The reception of Sophia Laskaridou

From Artist to Myth: The reception of Sophia Laskaridou

Grammatikopoulou, Christina, ‘From Artist to Myth: The reception of Sophia Laskaridou’, Interartive, v.19, March 2010 (Part A) and Interartive, v.20 (Part B) <http://interartive.org/2010/04/sophia_laskaridou_painter/>

Sofia Laskaridou was known not so much as an artist, but mainly as a personality who broke with the social rules of her time. In this text I try to approach this myth, which was cultivated both by herself, through her writings, and by her contemporary artists and later writers. The beginning of the formation of this myth was sought in the reception of the painter’s work and the documentation was made based on the publications around it from 1898 until today.
