Life
Busianis was born the son of a wine merchant. In 1906 he came with a private scholarship to Munich to continue his art education. He studied first in the private school of Walter Thor, then as of May 4 1907 the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. There he met the slightly younger Athenians classmates Giorgio de Chirico, with whom he occasionally shared a studio. In 1909 he went to Berlin to Max Liebermann. Then he bought a house in the Arcisstraße, sold well and participated in exhibitions. The galleries Ritthaler and Thannhauser exhibit his paintings. Since 1914 he was a member of the Munich Artists' Association, later the " Munich Secession ". He retired in 1921 with his wife and son from Munich to Eichenau, where he could build a small house in the branch road. There is a small artists' colony had formed and moved Busianis friends like Ringelnatz for celebration to the outskirts. From 1927 he was doing economically so bad that the family was temporarily dependent on public assistance.
His Leipzig gallery Heinrich Barchfeld financed him in 1929 a three-year study in Paris. When he returned in 1932 after Eichenau, for him there was no future in Germany; under the Nazis his art was listed as degenerate. In 1934 he was appointed professor at the Art Academy in Athens. In Athens arrived, the chair was surprisingly busy with yet another person. Nevertheless, his wife sold the house in Eichenau and came to Athens with the son. His son returned to Munich in 1936 to study back and then moved to Eichenau. In 1950 he represented Greece at the Biennale in Venice, and in 1952 he was the first Greek who won the Guggenheim price. After his death, his house was converted into Daphne in Attica into a museum. His paintings are now in the National Gallery in Athens and in other museums in Greece and abroad. A place was named after him in Eichenau.
