"Column of Humanity" (1993-1996) in Vienna, Austria[1]

Joannis Avramidis (Greek: Iωάννης Aβραμίδης; born 23 September 1922, Batumi – 16 January 2016, Vienna) was a contemporary Greek-Austrian painter and sculptor.[2] He was born in Batumi, on the Black Sea, in the Adjarian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, an Autonomous Republic of the former Soviet Union (in present-day Georgia), to a family of Pontic Greeks, who had fled the repression of ethnic minorities in the Ottoman Empire in the turmoil leading up to the Greco-Turkish War.[3][4][5]

Life and Career edit

He began studying painting at the State Art School of Batumi in 1937, the same year his father had violently died in prison as a victim of ethnic repression by Stalin's henchmen. Alas, his studies came to a premature end in 1939 when the whole family (i.e. his mother and her 4 children) had to re-emigrate again, this time to Greece, due to the USSR's sustained policy leading to ethnic cleansing. After living 4 years in Greece, first in Athens and later in Northern Greece, he was conscripted in 1943, as a 21-year old, during the Axis occupation of Greece, and deported to Vienna to work in forced labour at a repair shop in Kledering (Simmering district) maintaining railway vehicles for the National Socialist's regime. [4][5][6][7]

Once the Second World War had come to an end, he studied painting under Robin Christian Andersen, from 1945 till 1949, at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (in German : Akademie der bildenden Künste). Somewhat fortuitously, having finished art school a couple of years earlier, his talents as a sculptor were discovered by Fritz Wotruba, which led him, at the age of 31, to attend Wotruba's sculpture classes at the same academy, from 1953 to 1956. [4][5][6] Upon graduation in 1956, Avramidis received the Staatspreis der Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Wien, his first honorary award of many.

"Wotruba war ein Glücksfall für mich, dabei interessierte er mich eigentlich gar nicht als Lehrer. Außerdem hatte ich die Akademie schon verlassen. Aber dann kam ich mit einem Kopf an die Akademie, Wotruba holte sofort seine gesamte Schülerschaft." (in German);

Translation : "Wotruba was a stroke of luck for me, although I wasn't really interested in him as a teacher. Besides, I had already left the academy. But then I came to the academy with a head and Wotruba immediately brought in his entire student body."

Joannis Avramidis




Ten years later, he returned to his Alma mater to become a professor until his retirement in 1992 :

  • 1965/66 : Head of the Class for Nude Drawing at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna
  • 1966/67 : Visiting Professor at the Academy of Fine Arts, Hamburg
  • 1968-1992 : Head of the Masterclass for Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna.

At the academy he worked closely together with Heimo Kuchling, an art theorist who initiated and taught the subject "Morphology of the Fine Arts" (in German : Morphologie der Bildenden Kunst).

Avramidis was a member of the Wiener Secession.

In 1962 he made the acquaintance of Alberto Giacometti. The same year, Avramidis represented Austria in the 31st Biennale in Venice.

He participated in documenta III (1964) and documenta 6 (1977) in Kassel and enjoyed a number of participations in exhibitions, both solo or in group, over the years.

Private life edit

Joannis Avramidis was the son of the merchant, ship owner and flower grower Konstantin Avramidis and his wife Eleni, who had emigrated to the Russian Tsarist Empire in 1916 in order to escape the oppression of the Greek minority in the Ottoman Empire. His father Konstantin was a Black Sea Greek whose family had lived in Georgia for generations. Joannis Avramidis had three younger siblings: Georgette, Thomas and Sofia. From the late 1960s onwards, Thomas often helped with fabricating his brother's sculptures. [7]

In 1955 Joannis Avramidis became an Austrian citizen. [7]

In 1962 he married a fellow art student, Annemarie Avramidis, née Persche (Vienna, 1939–2013). They had a daughter Julia Frank-Avramidis (* 1969), who is also a painter.[8][9][10]

After the death in 2014 of his wife, a poet and accomplished sculptor in her own right, he completely withdrew from public life, and during the night of January 16, 2016, Joannis Avramidis died at the age of 93, in Vienna, surrounded by his family.[5]

Artistic development and style edit

Since 1956, the search for the 'absolute figure' stands at the centre of his work. Consequently, two eras serve as sources of inspiration for the artist, eras in which the figure and its proportions were held as the measure of all things. These are the classical antiquity and the Italian Renaissance. Avramidis allows the borders between abstraction and figurative depiction to merge in his sculptures. Softly rounded curves suggest the human body without defining it, whilst various profile views are fanned out, as though blurred.[citation needed]

Notable pupils edit

Austrian sculptors Reinhard Puch (* 1947) and Wolfgang Götzinger (1944-2015) trained under Prof. Avramidis at the Akademie.
