If my source is correct, Vasilis Dimitriou, who has just died, was the last of the old Athens movie poster artists who designed and painted giant promotional posters based on the film’s publicity. He was the artist for the Athinaion cinema.

Very sad to hear about the passing of Vasilis Dimitriou, the Last Man Painting in Athens. His artwork was a joy for film fans… and basically, people! The @nytimes wrote abot him in 2014

#Greece Vasilis Dimitriou, (perhaps) the last man painting Cinema signs In Europe, died at the age of 85. For the last 70 years he’s been heading down into the centre of Athens to swap the poster pinned to the front of the Athinaion movie theatre.
