Der Planet (Ο Πλανήτης) is a 1966 unspecified by Sotirios Michou, a Contemporary Abstract work, held at Metropolitan Organisation of Museums of Visual Arts of Thessaloniki – MOMus.
This watercolor shows a tilted blue-green planet floating in a loose ink-and-water sky. A few scratchy lines define landmasses and a single white dot for a moon. The colors stay cool except for one warm streak near the planet’s edge. Michou often painted landscapes this way in the 1960s. His brush let colors bleed without outlines—almost like a memory of a place rather than a map. Next time you’re in Thessaloniki, look up Michou, Sotirios (1936-2010) at the Museum of Ethnography.
Sotirios Michou (1936–2010) was an artist, born in Athens.
