Yanko/Jean Varda

Greek/American
1893-1971

Jean Varda brought a distinctly Mediterranean joy to modernist collage. His mosaics and assemblages recall the decorative splendor of ancient Hellenistic art and Byzantine ornament, celebrating light, fabric, and rhythm — qualities central to both classical and folk Greek aesthetics.
