Περιγραφή τεκμηρίου:	Yannis Gaitis was a restless and inventive man with a strong need to question things coupled with an innate sense of humor. These qualities characterize his art and are embodied in his signature little men.The little man, a kind of "everyman," appeared in Gaitis' painting in the early sixties. He was gradually standardized, schematized and became the protagonist of his compositions, rhythmically repeated in a multitude of combinations. The little man later moved beyond the strict confines of the two-dimensional painted image. He went on to occupy three-dimensional space, decorating furniture and all sorts of everyday utilitarian objects, entered the realm of fashion, and starred in environments and happenings as a finally living human being."Mass Transport" is an expression of Gaitis' critical as well as ironic view of the homogenization, encapsulation and isolation of humankind in urban centers. The double title - "Mass Transport" or "General Transport" - provokes a number of different associations.
