The AKMA Permanent Collection is an edited body of work ranging from preliminary sketches to finished paintings. In celebration of the artist's connection to his homeland and his daughter's adopted homeland, the Museum displays work Keramidas completed in Greece and Indiana side by side. Intimate and personal works illustrating Greek life contrast the serene and lush landscapes of the Indiana countryside. Keramidas was one of the few artists of his time to depict the human suffering during WWII. The Permanent Collection also includes an acclaimed selection of paintings the artist completed during that time. With quiet and haunting illustrations, Keramidas captures the human condition in images that move beyond the immediate anguish of the Greek people, and instead become a testament to all human suffering during times of war.
