  • Mzia Chikhradze Modernism and Identity the Paradigm of Modernism
    Mzia Chikhradze Modernism and Identity The paradigm of modernism places it in a cosmopolitan area. The desire to become integrated into a unified artistic space generates not only common, similar artistic trends in modernist art, but also severely limits the borders between the specific national derivatives within it. Coupled with the fact that “national” became a dangerous and unpopular topic after World War I, the modernism that developed in Central Europe developed as an anti-national phenomenon. Georgia enjoyed a short period of independence from 1918 to 1921. Not only Georgian modernism, but also the distinctive model of the Tbilisi avant-garde flourished during this time. It was based on a creative collaboration between different nationalities, their multinational and intercultural art. The specificity of the Tbilisi avant-garde was characterized by integrating different national characteristics into a unified artistic system. Despite the artists’ differing individual and national backgrounds, a unified artistic language was formed and this unique language determined the emerging art’s diversity and vivid imagery. The art and culture that developed in the bosom of independent Georgia generally carried a trace of Georgian national characteristics. The question arises: How organic and relevant is distinctiveness by national features in the context of modernism, which, as already mentioned, promotes cosmopolitanism. The priority of nationality should be considered as a hindering factor in terms of modernist values. However, the specifics of Georgian modernism and the Tbilisi avant-garde differed from the European ones. Namely, as Italian futurism stated and Tommaso Marinetti, its founding father, wrote in his Manifesto of Futurism: “We want to destroy museums and libraries, fight against morality, feminism, and all opportunist and utilitarian cowardice ..

Altre opere datate si trovano nei musei di Oslo (1622), Amsterdam (1623), Magonza, Utrecht. FILATELIA SPAGNA BUSTE POSTALI BACKER JACOB DE o BAKER (Belgio) Nato ad Anversa, 1555 circa e ivi morto, 1585 circa. Non si hanno dati precisi sulla vita di Jacob de Backer; oltretutto viene spesso confuso con il pittore fiammingo suo omonimo Jacob Adriaensz Backer. Secondo la RKD Jacob de Backer sarebbe nato ad Anversa nel 1540/45 circa e sarebbe morto nella stessa città fra il 1591 e il 1600. De Backer da ragazzo è stato abbandonato dal padre. Carel van Mander afferma che Jacob de Backer fu allievo di Antonio van Palermo ed Hendrik van Steenwijk il Vecchio. Sebbene sia considerato un pittore manierista e siano visibili influssi di Giorgio Vasari, non sembra sia mai stato in Italia. Il ciclo dei Sette vizi capitali fu acquistato da Cosimo Masi, segretario del cardinale Alessandro Farnese il Giovane nel 1594 ed è conservato nel Museo di Capodimonte a Napoli.

  • Georgian Modernism: the Fantastic Tavern

A hundred years ago, in 1918, the Democratic Republic of Georgia declared its independence from the Russian Empire. A brief period of freedom, which lasted until the invasion by the Soviet Red Army in 1921, followed. In those years, Tbilisi became the “Paris of the East” as international artists, some having fled Russia, encountered the local Avant-garde which stood in frequent exchange with Europe. The open, experimental, interdisciplinary art which arose seems instructive for our polarized times. Painting, sculpture, drawing, literature, folk art, ethnography, research, typography, and bookmaking all inspired and challenged each other. This not only led to Georgian Dadaism, Irakli Gamrekeli's groundbreaking stage settings, Niko Pirosmani's paintings, David Kakabadze's art and research, and the Georgian version of Zaum by Ilya Zdanevič, as well as his interdisciplinary endeavor 41° (41 degrees; a university, a group of artist, a magazine, and a publishing house all in one), but it furthermore yielded magnificent films, typographic experiments, radical theatre performances, painted taverns, and a general attitude towards life that continues to inspire. The exhibition, Georgian Modernism: The Fantastic Tavern, takes the shape of a book, displaying remarkable works that are largely unknown.

    ROMANS SUTA’S LIFE TBILISI PERIOD (1941–1944) ROMANS SUTA’S LIFE TBILISI PERIOD (1941–1944) From the history of the later period of the life of a Latvian artist On the occasion of Romans Suta’s 120th birthday Nikolai Javakhishvili [email protected] The late period of life and activity of the famous Latvian painter, designer, and teacher Romans Suta (1896–1944) is connected with Georgia. The presented article dwells on Ro- mans Suta’s Tbilisi period and his nearest Georgian confreres. In the summer of 1941, Romans Suta came to Tbilisi. He started working in a Georgian movie studio as a painter. He has worked on movies: In Black Mountains (1941, Producer Nikoloz She n gelaia), Giorgi Saakadze (1942, Producer Mikhail Chiaureli), The Shield of Jurgai (1944, Pro du cers: Siko Dolidze and David Rondeli). Romans Suta’s successful career was stopped abruptly because of his arrest on 4 Sep- tember 1943. He was charged for being an “enemy of people” and for “faking bread cou- pons”. He was tried and sentenced to be shot on 14 July 1944. In 1959, Romans Suta was partly rehabilitated, because the Military Collegium of the USSR Supreme Court exculpated Romans Suta’s charge of “enemy of people”, but “faking bread cards” still remained into effect. The article shows the real reasons for accusations to Romans Suta. The me moirs of his acquaintances, kept in the archives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia, prove that Romans Suta was a member of the Georgian anti-Soviet or ganisation “White George” (in Georgian, “Tetri Giorgi”).
