  • 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 ..

Moreelse in un soggiorno a Roma (1617-1620 circa), si avvicinò, con il conterraneo D. de Haen, al Caravaggio e ai caravaggeschi (Deposizione di S. Pietro in Montorio). 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
    T +41 44 272 15 15 F +41 44 272 18 88 [email protected] www.kunsthallezurich.ch Georgian Modernism: The Fantastic Tavern August 25 to November 4, 2018 Media Conference: Friday, August 24, 2018, 10AM Opening: Friday, August 24, 2018, 6PM Press Release Georgian Modernism: The Fantastic Tavern brings a highly interesting, yet largely ignored chapter of western art history to Europe for the first time, calling for the overdue acknowledgement of the artistic accomplishments of the Georgian Modernist movement. 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.
