Dimitris Letsios is one of the most important figures in modern Greek photography. A tireless traveler, he covered the whole of Greece for over 60 years, capturing the Greek landscape, its folk culture and the anonymous peasant. His archive, which dates from the end of the mid-war years and covers the whole of the post-war period constitutes a precious artistic, historic and social heritage.
