His parents, both actors, led a nomadic existence and Charlie left school aged 15 to join the Royal Shakespeare Company. He first came to Greece in the late 1950s to work on the Michael Cacoyiannis film, Eroika. Soon after the fall of the junta in 1974 (during which he actively supported the resistance), he settled permanently in Greece with his wife, Dizzy, and two young daughters. A self-taught artist, he gave up acting to spend his summers painting from their one-room house on the island of Skyros, and winters teaching and painting in Athens. A lifelong collector of 78 rpm blues records, Charlie also began collecting, archiving, compiling, and remastering original recordings of rembetika, the music of the Greek underworld. From 2006, he divided his time between Athens and Istanbul. In the Time of the Sultans — Urban Chronicles from 19th Century Istanbul, his first book-length translation, was published shortly before his death in Athens in September 2021. https://charles-howard.com/Press Sun, 18 Dec 2022 21:04:48 +0000 charles-howard.com https://charles-howard.com/Press <img width="635" height="633" width_o="635" height_o="633" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2e8c7e82ea7072730783ca688da915c8d35a152b0b9ed7106f4eaec2e84311b8/Scan-6.jpg" data-mid="162268209" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/635/i/2e8c7e82ea7072730783ca688da915c8d35a152b0b9ed7106f4eaec2e84311b8/Scan-6.jpg" /> <img width="625" height="627" width_o="625" height_o="627" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/47372747a7d44a73de5cd6907ac867f0975f04a03146f33f1adacaf347a7e47a/Scan-11.jpg" data-mid="162266735" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/625/i/47372747a7d44a73de5cd6907ac867f0975f04a03146f33f1adacaf347a7e47a/Scan-11.jpg" /> <img width="807" height="837" width_o="807" height_o="837" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ba42a9d71acbcc8f330d13340e72cde2115fef941c44a9e0b2902d9af267ad41/Scan-0.jpg" data-mid="162266736" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/807/i/ba42a9d71acbcc8f330d13340e72cde2115fef941c44a9e0b2902d9af267ad41/Scan-0.jpg" /> <img width="632" height="629" width_o="632" height_o="629" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6e59dd9ba27adec78c6ca787710b5b70a77cb6144f6e8fcfd858aab932e37679/Scan-8.jpg" data-mid="162266733" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/632/i/6e59dd9ba27adec78c6ca787710b5b70a77cb6144f6e8fcfd858aab932e37679/Scan-8.jpg" /> Lifo — The Englishman who saved rembetiko (in Greek)&nbsp; Kathimerini — Love requited in an exhibition Lifo interview (in Greek) Lifo —&nbsp;A Greek Summer full of light&nbsp;(in Greek) ERT — Greek Summer (in Greek) Discogs profile page Mortika — Rare vintage recordings from a Greek underworld Mixcloud.com (Remembering Charles Howards Reissues Program) https://charles-howard.com/The-Greek-Summer Sun, 11 Dec 2022 13:25:38 +0000 charles-howard.com https://charles-howard.com/The-Greek-Summer <img width="1875" height="1655" width_o="1875" height_o="1655" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0eaf42626ba929217bc6edbb321f371be65d503fc2f4085483d30c74b3477e2a/Aphrodite.jpg" data-mid="161602214" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0eaf42626ba929217bc6edbb321f371be65d503fc2f4085483d30c74b3477e2a/Aphrodite.jpg" /><img width="1873" height="1856" width_o="1873" height_o="1856" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a70e981c0cafcf036a53c11d233b858707f1d2a80c08dd7053901f05a1efa65d/Two-bathers.jpg" data-mid="161602566" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a70e981c0cafcf036a53c11d233b858707f1d2a80c08dd7053901f05a1efa65d/Two-bathers.jpg" /><img width="1856" height="1762" width_o="1856" height_o="1762" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8a5d16b12c0a14c04ade926d345ee9b5d4f963ab7d3e3d9326a3984921e6f6db/Under-The-Olive-Tree.jpg" data-mid="161603209" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8a5d16b12c0a14c04ade926d345ee9b5d4f963ab7d3e3d9326a3984921e6f6db/Under-The-Olive-Tree.jpg" /><img width="1842" height="1597" width_o="1842" height_o="1597" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4515f44f98f2cfdd1bba313836bcd0f78bb1bcd61b10f2c18302a533030a3aca/The-Caravan-passed-this-way.jpg" data-mid="161619297" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4515f44f98f2cfdd1bba313836bcd0f78bb1bcd61b10f2c18302a533030a3aca/The-Caravan-passed-this-way.jpg" /><img width="1874" height="1734" width_o="1874" height_o="1734" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a357f6da7abd0ecd5bd8baff2effb3270e1b12305ed0cd141769e3bc70debc43/Untitled-Dervish-Tower.jpg" data-mid="161619433" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a357f6da7abd0ecd5bd8baff2effb3270e1b12305ed0cd141769e3bc70debc43/Untitled-Dervish-Tower.jpg" /> Next → Aphrodite Two Bathers Under The Olive Tree The Caravan Passed This Way Untitled (Dervish Tower) Melina Cultural Centre, Athens. 4 December 2021 – 23 January 2022 There are no shadows in Charles Howard’s paintings – they are conquered by light. If we accept that ‘beauty is a battle – the triumph of light over shadow’, according to Jacques Lacarrière’s Dictionary of the Lover of Greece,[i] Howard’s paintings most eloquently illustrate this battle – the essence of beauty. In Skyrian Hasapiko (1972), the oldest work on display, the lamplight shines on most of the painting, spotlighting thescene. Under this interrogation-like light source, a watchful eye, a ritual zeibekiko dance unfolds, exuding manliness, a mystical ascension, Dionysian ecstasy – a ‘solitary lament.’ Howard’s painting captures a stereotypical image, reminiscent of Alexis Damianos’s Evdokia (1971) and Lacarrière’s Greek Summer (1975). To quote the French author once again, Howard’s figures have ‘the immobility of marble.’ In this case, the dancer’s ritualised pose – frozen in time– is evidence that ‘in Greece, time, history, continuity have been just a long, still, contemplative gaze.’[ii] In his art, Howard venerates women – women in the Greek landscape, to be precise. Female figures, typically nude or semi-nude, dominate his paintings, set against a backdrop of sea and barren mountains – the essence of Greek summer. These portraits of women are set in a plain landscape which is sometimes punctuated by one or two islands, there to suggest that these, mostly nameless, women are captured in moments of carefree abandon and reverie. In these portraits, Howard accentuates feminine facial features (feline eyes, brightly coloured lips), treating a woman’s face as if it were an exotic landscape. The strong women of the rebetiko world and the figure of Aphrodite prevail in his paintings. The former bring to mind Mortissa Hassiklou (1933), the well-known rebetiko song by Markos Vamvakaris; the latter evokes the ‘pure figure of Desire’, which is ‘living proof that the human body is the fountain of life and the jewellery box of the flesh.’[iii] The portraits that make up Greek Summer are complemented by paintings inspired by the East, specifically by Islamic art and architecture. Some of them, such as The Gift (2003), are of a narrative kind. Yet most – especially those of the last decade – are abstract; their titles refer to places and countries – Misir (Egypt), Yazd (the Iranian city), Saray (a Turkish palace). Here Howard experiments with vivid colours and their illusionary nature, in a manner reminiscent of the works of Op Art, but also of the theory of Johannes Itten and Josef Albers about the interaction of colour. It is no accident that these small-scale, square-shaped works look like ceramic tiles: In a way, they make up the mosaic of a delightful style of painting inspired by personal experiences and memories of places. Howard’s paintings bring to mind the French cartoonist Jacques de Loustal – the eroticism of his images, their sweet insouciance. Indeed, Howard could very well be a comic book artist with a painterly style – one, in fact, who has also got a remarkable body of paintings to show. Inversely, he could be a painter who has been strongly influenced by comics or a painter who has influenced comic book artists. In any case, if there is one take-away from Howard’s paintings (in which figures and landscapes exist in perfect harmony), it is love – love for Greece, love for specific persons, places, and cities, such as the bewitching Istanbul, where he spent a considerable part of his life: ultimately, love for life. These images suggest that their author lived a rich and happy life. Charles Howard passed away last September after a life full of experiences, leaving behind a body of work that glows with vitality and kindles positive emotions. With this exhibition, Greece reciprocates his love.

He manages to conjure up images of Greece that transcend the conventional tourist views of coastline and scenery, souvenirs of another holiday in the sun. Howard’s paintings offer us much more. They are eloquent distillations of the experience of ‘being’ in Greece and they speak with the timeless poetry of place just as surely as the unaffected beauty of early rembetika moves us with its passionate lyricism. Meticulously crafted, Howard’s compositions appear deceptively simple, yet he shares with Uccello the ability to depict the world with a sophisticated naiveté. With their luscious colour and bold design, these paintings are a powerful affirmation of poetic enchantment.

On Skyros, things exist as universal Platonic forms, rather than as particulars. There is the universal version of a house (white, flat-roofed, with a carved wooden gallery inside), a miniature chair, a bed, a curtain. The design of these you feel has remained unchanged since time immemorial, though the materials might be new. Chapels shine white from the side of a hill or a rock in the sea; boats scout for fish. Because there is just one design for ach object, what you could call ‘choice anxiety’ is eliminated. This Platonic system of ideal objects is essential to the Greek island, where there is also only one Town, one Port, and one Airport. Here, Myth seems to flourish alongside the Greek Orthodox faith, its spirits lodging in familiar domestic objects, in the rocks, the trees, and the blue sea. Aphrodite sits in her timeless universe on every patio, the mountain and the sea behind her. The curtain blows in the salt breeze and the sea merges its purple, velvety tone with the night sky. Aphrodite herself appears now alone, now with her lover or sister, now riding naked on one of the ancient Skyrian horses. You can trace her visual lineage from the hieratic art of Egypt and archaic Greece via Turkey and Persia to the present. Behind her, in the background, are tiny emblems of a timeless world: a star, a chapel, a bird, a cat, mountains, the town, the sea, a boat, a small aeroplane. The lover draws on a cigarette or dances beside a table on which sits the Platonic bottle of ouzo. During the Renaissance, in order to paint a particular moment, when figures are in a particular place with the sun casting particular shadows, painters introduced perspective, the modelling of form, shadows and chiaroscuro. By returning to the pre-Renaissance principle, like Matisse, Charles Howard allows the moment to become timeless, eliding into the past, present and future. Freed from the constraints of this momentary realism, colours and their tones form surprising relationships: purple and brown; lime green, blue and red; delicious matt colour, like sun-faded walls and things lying in random juxtaposition on a table. Mountains become abstract zigzags, the pattern on a carpet or the orange and red lozenges of a ziggurat.&nbsp; Geometry and pattern are set against the youthful, organic shape of the figure or allowed to float in pure abstract form. Charles Howard puts together in a painting his own vocabulary of imagery: a red sail and red lips, a blue moon and a blue coffee cup, a star and the collection of stars that make up the Town on the hill, the large and the small, the near and the far, all on the picture plane in a balanced composition that links personal memories with an ancient past. &nbsp;
