ADRIAN
British artists and academics Adria&n and Victoria Bartlett visited Greece for
the first time in the late 1950s. A few
years later, they fell in love with the re-
gion of Tsakonia in the southeastern Peloponnese, bought a house, made friends with the locals, and created work inspired by their summers in Greece.
They spoke to SMCK about their ex- periences in a country that has under- gone rapid change ever since and about the significance of Greek ideals for life and art.
