This volume includes the talks presented at the Conference organised by the Benaki Museum and the National Book Centre, within the framework of the celebrations for the "Year of Engonopoulos". (Friday 23 & Saturday 24, November 2007). Art and literature historians from Greece and abroad approach the artist’s artistic and literary oeuvre, seeking to find a relationship between the avant-garde and tradition, tracing his path to modernism, decoding the terms and boundaries of his surrealism and charting his overall artistic language.
