The Georgian painter Niko Pirosmanashvili (Pirosmani), one of the leading representatives of Georgian art of the early 20th century, was born in the village of Mirzaani, Kakheti. Having become an orphan at an early age, he moved to Tbilisi in the 1870s. Pirosmani had not received any special artistic education. At different times he worked at the railway, was engaged in trade, painted signboards for Tbilisi wine cellars and dukanis (taverns), which to a certain extent influenced the theme of his works (scenes of Tbilisi feasts, city characters, specific still-lives). However, Pirosmani also produced a series of brilliant portraits, pictures depicting everyday life in villages and historical characters. He was the only Georgian animal painter of his time. His art was ,,discovered’’ in 1912 by the Modernist artists I. Zdanevich, K. Zdanevich and M. Le Dentu. His paintings drew the interest of representatives of Georgian and Russian artistic circles, who began to collect his works. Pirosmani’s pictures were presented at an exhibition titles ,,Mishen’’ held in 1918 in Moscow. The artist died in a cellar in Tbilisi. Despite the efforts of young avant-garde artists, Pirosmani’s art received due recognition only posthumously. niko firosmani NIKO PIROSMANI “Sveli” muyao, zeTi, 58.5X73.5sm.

The discovery of Niko Pirosmani as a painter is attributed to Kiril and Ilya Zdanevich and Mikhail LeDantu. In the beginning of the XX century these three well-known in the futuristic and avant-gardist circles artists were interested in neo-primitivism. From this point of view, the paintings of Pirosmani, which they by chance discovered in Tbilisi Dukhans (Old Tbilisi wine-cellar restaurants) were a real sensation. Zdanevich brothers found and acquired Pirosmani's paintings, got acquainted with the painter himself and sent his works to the avant-gardist exhibition in Moscow. The exhibition opened on 24 March 1913 in Moscow. Mikhail Larionov, Natalya Goncharova, Mikhail Le-Dantu, Alexandr Shevchenko and other painters participated in the exhibition. That same year Pirosmani painted the portrait of Ilya Zdanevich. Ilya Zdanevich published several letters about Pirosmani with the aim to popularize the painter within Georgian society and artistic circles. From the very beginning Pirosmani's works caused controversy and raised different points of view. In 1915 Pirosmani was invited to the meeting of Georgian Painters' Society. This is the time when art-lovers, painters, poets and journalists began to be interested in Pirosmani. Nevertheless, nobody could offer any substantial support to the painter. Zdanevich brothers were the first ones to recognize the unique nature and scale of Pirosmani's works. “eZRvneba firosmans” qaRaldi, Sereuli teqnika, 42,5X61sm. 1960 “DEDICATED TO PIROSMANI” MIXED MEDIA ON PAPER, 42,5X61CM. 1960 8 9 1892 - 1969 fermweri, grafikosi, futuristi, Teatris mxatvari, ilustratori, xelovnebis mkvlevari 1963. saqarTvelos xelovnebis damsaxurebuli moRvawe —— 1911 - 1912w. swavlobda Tbilisis gimnaziaSi da ferweris da xatvis saswavlebelSi i.fogelisa da n.sklifasovskis xelmZRvanelobiT. —— 1911w.

Shalva Kikodze, one of the most gifted Modernist artist in Georgia, gained recognition among his fellow Modernist painters despite his short life. After completing his studies at the Georgian Nobility Gymnasium, he entered in 1914 the Department of Law at Moscow University. From 1916-1918, the artist studied at the Moscow school of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. Shalva Kikodze worked for theatre and satirical magazines, periodicals, and published caricatures of public figures, in Moscow and Tbilisi. He also worked as a stage designer. He took active part in the activities of the Society of Georgian Artists. In 1919, Shalva Kikodze was sent to Paris by the Society of Georgian Artists to further his art studies. The period from 1920 to 1921, spent by the artist in Paris, appeared to be very productive. In 1921, he exhibited his works together with David Kakabadze and Lado Gudiashvili at Galerie La Licorne. In 1921, he died in Germany after a severe illness. The artist is buried in Freiburg. “peizaJi” muyao, zeTi, 20X30.5sm. 1917 “LANDSCAPE” OIL ON CARDBOARD, 20X30.5CM. 1917 14 15 Salva qiqoZe Shalva kikodze “kompozicia” qaRaldi, fanqari, 41X24,5sm. 1918 “niu” qaRaldi, fanqari, 39X23sm. 1918 “COMPOSITION” PENCIL ON PAPER, 41X24,5CM. 1918 “NUDE” PENCIL ON PAPER, 39X23CM. 1918 16 17 “dekoratiuli motivi” muyao, zeTi, 45X60sm. 1927.

The works of 58 painters from 23 countries were on display at this exhibition including those of: Hans Arp, Georges Braque, Max Ernst, Giorgio de Chirico, David Burliuk, Wassily Kandinsky, Juan Gris, Joan Miro, Pieter Mondriaan and Pablo Picasso. 1941 wels qeTrin draierma Tanamedrove xelovnebis umdidresi koleqcia gadasca ielis universitetis xelovnebis galereas, maT Soris daviT kakabaZis namuSevrebi: abstraqtuli skulptura - „gamWoli Tevzi“ - "Z", 2 namuSevari „bretanis“ seriidan da 6 - seriidan „abstraqtuli motivebi“. 1950 wels gamoica am koleqciis katalogi, sadac qeTrin draieri daviT kakabaZis Sesaxeb wers: „is iyo erTi yvelaze saintereso yvela Tanamedrove mxatvarTa da moqandakeTa Soris, nawilobriv misi saqarTvelos usazRvro siyvarulisa da nawilobriv misi mecnieruli wvrTnis gamo, romlebmac is aqcies araCveulebrivi xarisxis Semoqmed xelovanad.“ In 1941 Katherine Dreier gifted the richest collection of modern art to the Art Gallery of Yale University. This collection included the following works by David Kakabadze: abstract sculpture – “A pierced fish” - "Z", 2 paintings from “Bretagne” series and 6 paintings from "Abstract Motives" series. A catalogue of this collection was published in 1950, where Katherine Dreier writes the following about David Kakabadze: "He was one of the most interesting among all modern art painters and sculptors, partly due to his extraordinary love towards his homeland and, partly due to his scientific training, which made him a creative artist of superb quality”. daviT kakabaZe david kakabadze “navebi” qaRaldi, guaSi, 23X18sm. 1921 “BOATS” GOUACHE ON PAPER, 23X18CM. 1921 20 21 1889 - 1952 fermweri, grafikosi, Teatrisa da kinos mxatvari, xelovnebis Teoretikosi, gamomgonebeli.

One of the founders of the Georgian stage design, Irakli Gamrekeli was born in Gori. He studied art at N. Sklifasovsky’s Art and Painting School under B.Vogel and B.Shebuev. Upon graduating from the Tbilisi Theological Seminary, Gamrekeli pursued medical studies first at Rostov, and later at Tbilisi universities. For some time, he also studied at the Tbilisi Academy of Fine Arts. In the 1920s, he was actively involved in the cultural life of Tbilisi and was obsessed with Modernist movements. In 1924, he illustrated the journal of the Georgian futurist H2SO4 and the books by the Georgian writers G. Robakidze, K. Kaladze, S.Chikovani and Iona Vakeli. In 1923, he was invited to work as chief stage designer at the Rustaveli Theatre. In 1926, he began to work with Sandro Akhmeteli.
