Winged Spirits - Yannis Tsarouchis

I am really fond of the paintings of Yannis Tsarouchis a famous Greek 20th Century artist - particularly the paintings of Winged Spirits or, as I like to call them, butterfly boys. The Tsarouchis Foundation has turned his house in Athens into a museum which I always try to visit when in Athens - which is very rare these days. Those visits are always a little sad as they take me back to my first visit while Tsarouchis was alive and it was a home of sorts not a musuem.
