“Stamos… is too enchanted with myth and enigma ever to assume an ecclesiastical role. His intuitions and sensibilities more closely resemble those of a poet than of a priest - just as his images more closely parallel the riddles of the Sphinx than the pronouncements of a prophet.”


(Theodore F. Wolff, “Works from 1970 until today: The Recent Works,” Theodoros Stamos: Works from 1945 to 1984, Zurich 1984 p. 188)
