Nassos Daphnis

Born in Greece but active in both New York and Massachusetts, Nassos Daphnis is known for geometric abstract sculpture. A member of a group of young artists in the 1950’s who broke away from Abstract Expressionism, Daphnis placed a greater emphasis on gestural and expressive brushstrokes and further explored hard edge color that harked back to Piet Mondrian and yet also looked forward to the Minimalist movement.
