Lambros Orfanos was born in Athens on October 26, 1916 and died in Athens on June 16, 1995. His parents were Minas Orfanos and Flora Orfanou, née Chalkea. At a very young age he was admitted to the then newly-founded Nikos Exarchopoulos’ Experimental School of the University of Athens, where he studied under distinguished professors and developed his artistic tendencies. In 1936 exhibited for the first time four of his works at Parnassos as a student of the Preparatory Department of the Athens School of Fine Arts.

Two years later he was admitted to the painting workshops of the Athens School of Fine Arts where he studied under Umvertos Argyros and Epameinondas Thomopoulos for four years, together with G. Vakirtzis, Eirini Lytra, and Aliki Christea. In 1943, after having obtained his degree in painting, he enrolled in the Engraving workshop, where he studied under Jean Kefalinos until 1947. Some of his fellow students were Louisa Montessantou, A. Bacharian, Smaragda Valata, Maria Ramfou and others. At the same time, he studied History of Art under Pantelis Prevelakis and following his graduation with a degree in Theoretical and Historical Studies, he worked as Curator of the Department.

Wood engraving was a less than common specialization at the time and there were few craftsmen who used this particular technique; the materials were also expensive and hard to find. However, Jean Kefalinos’ ambition was to show his students the way to became equally proficient in terms of technique as he was. Thus, in order to counterbalance the lack of materials, he had his students work on small pieces of wood or copper. This enabled Lambros Orfanos to refine his engraving techniques.

Following his graduation from the Athens School of Fine Arts, Lambros Orfanos was appointed professor of Arts and Crafts at a Girls’ High School in Kozani, where he remained until the end of the academic year before returning to Athens. In 1949 he married the painter and mosaicist Elli Mourelou. In the same year, he was hired by the Bank of Greece as Head of the Artistic Design and Engraving Department of the Bank of Greece Banknote Printing Works, after a public competition and a personal recommendation by Kefallinos himself, who regarded Orfanos as an exceptional engraver.

In 1952 he was the first graphic arts artist to be granted a post-graduate scholarship from the Greek State Scholarships Foundation, and he left for Paris where he studied at a post-graduate level for three years at the engraving workshop of the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts under renowned engraver Robert Cami. During his studies he won the second and third prizes in engraving in 1953 and the first prize in 1954. In 1955 he was awarded the title of Maître du Burin, an extremely rare honour for an engraver in France.

Lambros Orfanos was deeply influenced by Cami, and the latter expressed his profound appreciation and admiration for his Greek student’s dexterity; at one point he asked him: Toi, qu’est-ce que tu cherches ici? Je n’ai rien à t’apprendre (What are you doing here? I have nothing to teach you).

At the same time, Orfanos studied at the Collège Technique Estienne, where he focused on the art of the book, on the microengraving of stamps, letters, banknotes and values under the guidance of René Cottet. He also studied printing methods at the Imprimerie Nationale des Timbres-Poste in Paris.

In Paris he befriended many painters and engravers such as Panayiotis Tetsis -with whom he remained close friends until his death- as well as Gabriela Simosi, Dikos Vyzantios, Kostas Panopoulos, Y. Gaitis and K. Grammatopoulos.

At that time Lambros Orfanos also worked on postage stamp art. In addition to three Greek never issued postage stamps, which he produced for the Hellenic Post in 1954 – 1955 (“Shepherd with Flute“, “Lily“, “Meteora“), he produced three more for the French State, and two for the French colonies, which were issued signed by his teacher, R. Cami because L. Orfanos, who was not a French citizen, he was not formally entitled to undertake state-funded projects.

In early 1960s, the fact that Lambros Orfanos had become an expert in micro-engraving on steel, and that X. Zolotas was Governor of the Bank of Greece, allowed for Greece to produce its own banknotes on steel plates, which were printed at the Bank of Greece Banknote Printing Works of the National Mint. His first project, in collaboration with I. Stinis, was to produce the 50-drachma banknote for the Bank of Greece: in fact it was the first ever Greek banknote that was produced using the six-colour intaglio printing technique and was engraved on steel plates using a technology made available by the Gualtiero Giori Company; it depicted Arethusa on recto (date of circulation: 1964). It worth noting that -at present- the Roberto Giori Company (De La Rue – Giori Company) holds a 98% share of the global market of banknote and value printers as well as banknote printing, value printing and high-security government document printing.

Lambros Orfanos, as Head of the Artistic Design and Engraving Department of the Bank of Greece Banknote Printing Works, introduced new aesthetic standards as regards the design and illustration of Greek banknotes, and proposed a new perspective which was in line with Greece’s economic and intellectual resurgence. This new approach by Orfanos differed significantly from the dominating classicizing aesthetics in most of the banknotes of that time; the simplicity and minimalism of his expressive means, as well as the unique aesthetic value and technical perfection, caused a stir at an international level.

Following the completion of his postgraduate studies, he returned to Greece and continued working at the Bank of Greece Banknote Printing Works. He designed a complete series of issued banknotes and values. In 1963, he was sent to Brussels together with Al. Korogiannakis in order to improve their knowledge as regards the printing system of the new machines that had been acquired by the Bank of Greece Banknote Printing Works. After the passing of Korogiannakis, Lambros Orfanos made several training trips in Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France.

In 1963 he entered into a contract for the engraving of banknotes for various countries with the pioneering banknote and value printing company Organisation Giori Company, Lausanne, Switzerland (De La Rue – Giori Company).

His first work, back in 1964 and in collaboration with I. Stinis, was the 10-dollar banknote for the Bank of Canada, which bore a portrait of Elizabeth II Queen of England, on recto. Thus, Lambros Orfanos became the only Greek engraver to have designed and engraved on steel plates a complete Central Bank banknote for a foreign country.

Unfortunately, however, the Greek establishment cancelled the contract with Organisation Giori. Nevertheless, in the 1970s he received an official invitation from the Central Bank of Chile to design and engrave a complete series of government banknotes. With the fall of President Allende, this proposal was not materialised.

Also, Lambros Orfanos designed all the Greek coins from 1973 to 1976 for the Hellenic Republic, and produced their moulds in steel, first in collaboration with I. Stinis and then together with sculptors T. Papagiannis and N. Perantinos. He retired from the Bank of Greece in 1977.

Lambros Orfanos, during his thirty-five years as an artist, managed to a shape a multifaceted style that evolved on a wide range of activities such as painting and engraving, stage design and the illustration of books, diaries and magazines, as well as the production of various documents and posters; it is generally considered to have introduced a very disciplined approach to the graphic arts in Greece and France. The multidimensionality of his work is proven by numerous examples:

He designed the tax stamps of the Greek Monarchy and of the Hellenic Republic. In the 1960s, he created the logo of the Agricultural Insurance Organization of the Agricultural Bank of Greece, as well as its pension bonds. He designed posters for the Greek National Tourism Organisation, the Thessaloniki Art Festivals, and the French Institute of Athens. In 1961 he won the 1st prize for his poster on the population census. He also worked as a stage designer for the V. Argyropoulos’ theatre group Ελληνική Κωμωδία (Greek Comedy) in Athens. He also made a portrait of Elsa Vergi and created the logo of her theatre group and the 1959 – 1960 Winter Program. In 1977, he also created two postage stamps for the Hellenic Post: one for the Restoration of the Hellenic Republic (20 drachmas) and one for Greeks Abroad (5 drachmas). In 1959 he applied for the chair of engraving at the Athens School of Fine Arts which was ultimately given to K. Grammatopoulos.

In late 1950s, Lambros Orfanos turned to painting, mainly in situ landscape painting (oil painting, watercolour, pastel). He also portrayed scenes from amusement parks and the interior of houses (interiorisme), and created several portraits. He was particularly fond of the work of the French painter Pierre Bonnard. His painting works, in which he employed a rich palette of colour contrasts, are indicative of the evolution of his style towards a singular, restrained abstraction.

From 1948 to 1973, he took part in eight Pan-Hellenic exhibitions (1948, 1952, 1957, 1960, 1963, 1967, 1971, and 1973), and from 1951 to 1969, he participated in the exhibitions of the Association of Bank of Greece Employees. The first and only retrospective exhibition of his engraving work took place in 1994, at Nikos Grigorakis’ Υάκινθος Art Gallery in Athens.

He chose to participate mainly in international exhibitions (Paris, London, Lugano, Santiago, Alexandria Biennial, São Paulo Biennial, Rio de Janeiro, Stockholm, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Romania, Argentina, United States, etc.). At the Alexandria Biennial in 1957, he received an honourable mention for his work Birds as well as an Engraving Award.

He was a member of the Chamber of Fine Arts of Greece, the Free Artists of Paris, the Salon d’Automne and the Engraving Department of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts.

Lambros Orfanos was one of the leading artists of his time. However, his valuable contribution to contemporary Greek art -especially to engraving- had not been recognised until 2010. Since he first appeared as an artist and throughout his entire career, his work was always praised by critics who saw in him a dexterous and sophisticated painter and engraver.

Several of his works are part of the collections of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Culture, Education and Tourism, as well as those of the Bank of Greece, Piraeus Bank, Alpha Bank, the National Bank of Greece Cultural Foundation, and Heracles General Cement Corporation. Also, his works adorn the collections of the National Gallery, the G. I. Katsigras Museum, the Acropolis Museum, the Museum of Modern Greek Culture, the Numismatic Museum, the Alex. Kontopoulos Museum, and the Goulandris Natural History Museum. The same applies to the collections of important municipal art galleries, museums, institutions, historical archives, universities, and libraries in Athens and all over Greece.

Moreover, many of his works are part of the collections of the Boston Public Library, the Portland Art Museum, and the Getty Foundation in the United States, of the Royal Collection of Sweden, of the Central Banks of France, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Canada and Chile, of the Embassies of Greece in Austria, Hungary, Peru, and South Africa, of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Mexico, Israel, and Romania. His works also form part of large private collections in Greece and abroad.
