About this work

Alex Mylona drew a slice of Ypsilantou Street in 1944. You see a few quick lines and faint outlines. It’s a street scene, but the loose marks make it feel more like a memory than a photo. The back of the paper hides a room sketch. The two sides don’t match, yet both feel real. It’s like the artist kept two thoughts on one sheet. Look up the Museum of Ethnography to see more of her work.
