In 1907 he moved to Munich to continue his art studies with Otto Seitz. In 1910 he moved to Berlin where he was taught from Max Liebermann.

He became very soon a respected artist in Germany and very soon he had his first contract with the Barhfeld gallery. In 1927 in Kemnits there was a large exhibition of his work. Between 1929-1932 he travelled and lived in Paris with the financial support of the Barhfeld gallery. Due to the financial crisis across Europe he had to return to Munich. Unfortunately, expressionism was gradually fading away in Germany with the rise of nazism in Germany's politics. In 1934 he returned to Greece. To his own disappointment he fails to take a position at the School of Fine Arts of Athens. Initially, Bouzianis was treated with hostility from the Athenian artistic circles who started to appreciate his oeuvre after his exhibition at Parnassos gallery in 1949 . In 1950 he represented Greece at the Venice Biennale and in 1952 he was awarded with the first award of the Guggenheim competition for Greece. His house after his death in Daphne of Attica has been converted to a museum. His paintings are today exhibited at the National Gallery of Athens and in many other museums in Greece and abroad. (en)
  • Georges Bouzianis (Γιώργος Μπουζιάνης) est un peintre grec né à Athènes en 1885 et mort le 23 octobre 1959.Il fut un des grands peintres expressionnistes grecs. Cette tendance picturale eut des difficultés à s'imposer en Grèce. Bouzianis fut même rejeté par son pays natal. Après avoir étudié à l'École des Beaux-Arts d'Athènes, il termina sa formation artistique à Munich à partir de 1908. Il y découvrit l'expresionnisme allemand de la Neue Münchener Sezession. Dès 1912, il fut un des principaux animateurs de ce mouvement. Dans les années 1920, il résidait à Berlin où il fut l'élève de Max Liebermann. Il y acquit une certaine célébrité dans les milieux artistiques.À l'arrivée des nazis au pouvoir, il retourna en Grèce où il poursuivit son travail et ses recherches esthétiques dans un isolement presque complet. Certains considèrent qu'il influença l'expressionnisme américain de l'après Seconde Guerre Mondiale .
