(1925-2013)

It has been quite a few years since Geneviève Couteau, the distinguished French painter, departed from my native place, theisland of Mykonos, Greece, deciding to live ever a er in her beloved Clisson, France.In spite of that, Mykonos has never stopped being the painter’s Greek Muse in her work. Couteau’s presence on the island as a brilliant painter with a deep personal seal, and as a gentle and graceful person is alive among the people of Mykonos. Her art, inspired by the beauties and light of the island and the authenticity of its people, all transformed into a dream pastiche of colours and shapes, is a testimony of a very creative passing from our place and at the same time it is a proof for a reciprocal love.Apart from being a remarkable artist, who has dedicated her life toher art with an assiduous and ery devotion, Geneviève Couteau is also a charming and most lovable personality whose kindness and generosity everyone has felt. Her paintings enrich our Greek homes and museums, and her moving illustrations enhance my books of poetry. Even the emblem of the Municipality of Mykonos sketched by her own hand (Apollo’s laurel-crowned head whose birthplace is the neighbouring sacred island of Delos), as well as innumerable cherished memories shared by each one of us speak of the painter’s happy and proli c stay on our island.All that reminds and will remind us in the years to come the poetics of her painting and how lucky we were to have such a great artist beside us for a very long time (summers of c. 1960 to 2005);in return it will reassure the painter herself for my fellow-citizens’ great esteem, tenacious admiration and enduring love for herand her Art.

The building, which houses

the Municipal Art Gallery, built during the second half of the 19th century, was donated to the Municipality of Mykonos by the Iglesi family in order to be the rst public clinic. It operated as such for approximately halfa century.

The rst Public Library of Mykonos was situated on the ground for several years. Later this space became the Municipal Art Galleryof Mykonos, which hosts exhibitionsof Greek and foreign artists to this day.
