Θάνος Χρήστου

                           

We were all shocked and deeply grieved to hear of dear Thanos’ death.   Devoted husband of Maria, adored father of Katerina, Chryssa and Spiros, precious son of Chrysanthos and Katerina, beloved brother of our Yianna and brother-in-law of Spiros, much loved son-in-law and brother-in-law of Spiros and Chryssa,  Andie and Angelos, he will be greatly missed by his family, friends, students and colleagues.

Thanos was an Art Historian, son of the famous Art Historian, Crysanthos Cristou.   In the nineties he successfully reorganised the Municipal Art Gallery in Corfu and also introduced and made many visual artists familiar to the greater public. In 2001 he published a study titled “Sculpture of the Ionian Islands”.  He was an associate art professor of Art History at the University of Ioannina and he recently organized the “Foundation of Printmaking Aria Komianou” in Corfu.

We send our deepest condolences, to his loved ones.   May the fact that Thanos produced such invaluable work, in so short a time, and that he was so highly esteemed by his students, colleagues and the people of Corfu, be a shadow of comfort to them, in their profound sorrow.
