Biography
Helle Tzalopoulou-Barnstone was raised
and educated in Greece, and later studied
at Wellesley College, Massachusetts, where she
took her B.A. degree in English literature. She
did her graduate degree in fine arts at Yale University where she studied
painting and color interaction theory with Joseph Albers of the Bauhaus.
She lives in Bloomington, Indiana, a university city in mid-America,
and spends part of each year in Athens and in her house on the
Greek island of Serifos in the Cyclades. Her paintings reflect both
continents. She has exhibited widely in New York, Chicago,
Mexico City, Munich, Prague and Athens.
In exact parallel to incitement in Georgia O'Keefe's canvases,
Helle Barnstone's work awakens. When I read her paintings,
I wake at last to visionary precincts she finds in familiar land-
and seascapes. With the innocence of her candid colors, with
the mysteries of her inner shapes, from the stalactites of Greek
waves and the water lotuses at edges of America, her work
opens our eyes to worlds. She permits us vision.— Willis Barnstone
