520 |a First published in 1972, «A Greek Portfolio» is a collection of photographs made in isolated areas of rural Greece, in the early 1960s. The book won awards at the Leipzig Book Fair and at Arles, and has become a sought-after classic. Photographs from «A Greek Portfolio» were exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, and work from the books is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Living in Greece for three years, Constantine Manos, a member of Magnum Photos, travelled the countryside in search of images that captured the character and beauty of a way of life that had been virtually unchanged for centuries but has since been overtaken by the modern world. Etched into the faces, he found, are a strength and a dignity that reflect survival, honour and continuity. These pictures are the record of random wanderings in places, where the only sound might be the distant tinkling of sheep bells, where hospitality for the stranger is a sacred tradition, and where time has stood still against a backdrop of rural simplicity and serenity. With masterly insight, Manos opened his shutter on those moments that distil the essence of character and occasion to create a series of images that are timeless in their expression of the quality of life in rural Greece. For the new edition of «A Greek Portfolio» Manos has gone back into his files to find previously unpublished images that further enhance the beauty and depth of his body of work.
