Despite Debt Crisis Greece Excels in Art

While Greece is further reaching a financial dead end, its art is steadily gaining ground, points out an extensive New York Times article on Greek art.
The Greek debt crisis has unexpectedly boosted artistic expression all over Greece and especially in Athens. In this way, Greek artists respond to their national identity crisis, says NY Times reporter Rachel Donadio.
“Art galleries are thriving. Street artists paint tiny gems amid the growing downtown squalor. A new generation of filmmakers has captured the air of uncertainty by making the familiar strange” adds the New York Times reporter.
According to Times, the financial crisis has become a Muse for Greeks artists, who are once again revealing their endless charisma through movies (like Dogtooth and Attenberg), exhibitions in numerous neighborhoods of Athens and smart street art.
