[4] In 1910 he moved to Berlin, where he learned from Max Liebermann and befriended Giorgio de Chirico.

[4] After a visit to Vienna in 1929, Bouzianis travelled and lived in Paris between 1929 and 1932[4] with the financial support of the Barchfeld gallery.

Due to the financial crisis across Europe he had to return to Eichenau near Munich, where he had built a house.

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, his only solo show in Greece.
