Notes: "Today we visited the three leading, if not the three only, art galleries in Athens and ended up with a sculpture by Clouvatos, a ceramic plaque by Valsomikis, and paintings by Sikeliotis, Papadakis, and Fassianos. The last named was exhibited at the art gallery of the Athens Hilton Hotel, where the artist himself put in an appearance, a 29-year-old originally from Corfu, who has lived three years in Paris and exhibited there. He specializes in Byzantine eyes."
