Amphiteatre shows the famous theater of Epidauros, Greece, which was built by Polykleitos the Younger in the fourth century BCE and praised by the geographer Pausanias (second century CE). Gritchenko had begun his painting career among avant-garde circles in Moscow but fled following the revolutions of 1918. He spent the next few years immersing himself in Mediterranean sites, seeking to capture what he understood as deep connections between ancient art and modernism. Dr. Barnes admired Gritchenko's thoughtful, personal interpretations of past and present artistic traditions.
