Niko Pirosmani, a legendary artist hailing from his native Georgia, holds a revered status among the unknown. His portraits, animal paintings, landscapes, and scenes from everyday life, created around 1900 in the flourishing city of Tbilisi, exude a profound sense of empathy. These works, influenced by medieval iconography, convey a deep-rooted feeling of belonging, akin to the works of artists like Henri Rousseau or Marc Chagall. While the avant-garde recognized his unique and groundbreaking artistic approach, categorizing him remains challenging. Pirosmani stands as one of the exceptional yet enigmatic figures in early modern art, alongside artists like Rousseau and Chagall.
This comprehensive catalogue showcases Pirosmani's exceptional qualities through numerous illustrations. It highlights how his swift brushstrokes on black oilcloth imbue the sparsely applied colors with a luminous glow, as if emanating from a dark depth. Pirosmani was a master of concentration and storytelling. As expertly explained by a selection of Georgian art historians in the catalogue, he was a singular artist, a contradictory figure, and an integral part of the art scene in Tbilisi, then regarded as the "Paris of the East."
Through his art, Pirosmani captured the essence of Georgian culture and society, portraying the lives of his fellow citizens with honesty and compassion. His works continue to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide, cementing his legacy as a legendary artist whose contributions to the art world will be cherished for generations to come.
