Lesvos Island - Varia - Theophilos (Folk Artist)
The Theophilos Museum is located in Varia, a picturesque suburb of Mytilene, in an area full of olive trees. It is housed in a building of chaste architecture, that was erected in 1964 with a donation of the renowned art critic and publisher Stratis Eleftheriades-Teriade, the man who discovered Theophilos and made his work known. Besides, the 86 paintings by the artist displayed today in the museum halls derive from Teriade’s own collection, which he donated to the Municipality of Mytilene.
Self-taught painter Theophilos Chatzimichael (or Kefalas, appr. 1868-1934) is the leading figure of the Greek folk art. He was born and passed his childhood in Vareia, but had to leave his paternal home at the age of 18. He endured a harsh and impoverished life, first in Smyrna, later in Volos and mainly in Pelion, where he stayed for many years and created an important part of his work, like his frescoes on the walls of houses and stores. When he finally returned to Mytilene after 1912, he met the internationally acclaimed art critic and publisher Teriade, thanks to whom Theophilos’ fame surpassed the Greek borders.
In the rich thematology, that inspires Theophilos, history holds a special place, with the emblematic figures of Alexander the Great, Konstantinos Palaeologos and the heroes of the 1821 Greek War of Independence recurring as protagonists of his paintings. His art has been praised for its spontaneous, unpretentious style, the realistic expression, the warm natural colours (usually made by himself), namely all those components that determine authentic folk art.

Ο Καμύ, γοητευμένος από το τοπίο και συγκλονισμένος από τους ανθρώπους, δήλωσε «Αργότερα, όταν αράξαμε στο Σίγρι, μαγεύτηκα από τη γραφική λιτότητα του τοπίου, τους απλούς ανθρώπους, το απολιθωμένο δάσος και το μύθο για κείνο το άλλο, που λένε πως βρίσκεται στο βυθό.

SUMMARY
=======
Lesbos (, US: ; Greek: Λέσβος Lesvos, pronounced [ˈlezvos]) is an island located in the northeastern Aegean Sea. It has an area of 1,633 km2 (631 sq mi) with 320 kilometres (199 miles) of coastline, making it the third largest island in Greece. It is separated from Turkey by the narrow Mytilini Strait and in late Palaeolithic/Mesolithic times was joined to the Anatolian mainland before the end of the last glacial period.
Lesbos is also the name of a regional unit of the North Aegean region, within which Lesbos island is one of five governing islands. The others are Chios, Ikaria, Lemnos, and Samos. The North Aegean region governs nine inhabited islands: Lesbos, Chios, Psara, Oinousses, Ikaria, Fournoi Korseon, Lemnos, Agios Efstratios and Samos. The capital of the North Aegean Region is Mytilene. The population of Lesbos is approximately 86,000, a third of whom live in its capital, Mytilene, in the southeastern part of the island. The remaining population is distributed in small towns and villages. The largest are Plomari, Kalloni, the Gera Villages, Agiassos, Eresos, and Molyvos (the ancient Mythimna).
According to later Greek writers, Mytilene was founded in the 11th century BC by the family Penthilidae, who arrived from Thessaly, and ruled the city-state until a popular revolt (590–580 BC) led by Pittacus of Mytilene ended their rule. In fact the archaeological and linguistic record may indicate a late Iron Age arrival of Greek settlers although references in Late Bronze Age Hittite archives indicate a likely Greek presence then. The name Mytilene itself seems to be of Hittite origin. According to Homer's Iliad, Lesbos was part of the kingdom of Priam, which was based in Anatolia (present day Turkey). Much work remains to be done to determine just what happened and when. In the Middle Ages, it was under Byzantine and then Genoese rule. Lesbos was conquered by the Ottoman Empire in 1462. The Ottomans then ruled the island until the First Balkan War in 1912, when it became part of the Kingdom of Greece.
