“Αποχαιρετισμός από τη γιαγια”
“the final goodbye for grandmother” My oil painting, Greek youth sent to War. OXI (NO) is a day commemorated each year on October 28th 1940 by Greeks throughout the world and is undeniably one of the proudest moments in Greek history. It was the day when Ioannis Metaxas, on behalf of the Greek people, bravely shouted one word, “No” to Mussolini’s demand for surrender and resisted the Italian occupation. www.petermanianis.com #Greece #ww2 #OXI |
