an important painter. In the following years, he participated in several exhibitions where either only his work was presented or his work was shown together with those of other artists. In the years 1935, 1939, 1948 and 1952 he took part in the highly regarded national exhibitions of the Quadriennale in Rome. His participation in the Venice Biennale in 1934, 1940 and 1948, in which he represented either Greece or his chosen home Italy, received particular attention. Rodokanakis was married to the translator and writer Lucia Rodocanachi (1901–1978), née Morpurgo. The painter died in Genoa in 1958. Work The oeuvre of Rodokanakis is mainly characterized by landscape depictions but also figure painting. There are unmistakable references to symbolism and Art Nouveau, especially in his early creations. Many works have an impressionistic touch. His typical painting style is an atmospherical, sometimes few opaque colorouring applied with a light brush stroke. Works by him are for example kept in the National Gallery in Athens, in the Museum of the City of Athens, in the Leventis Gallery in Nicosia and in the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna (National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art) in Rome. Honours In Arenzano, a comune in the Metropolitan City of Genoa, a town square was named after the artist.
