6. Lado Gudiashvili –was a 20th-century Georgian painter.
Gudiashvili was born in Tiflis (now Tbilisi) on March 18 . He
studied in the Tiflis school of sculpture and fine art (1910–1914)
Filled with the charm of Georgian life, the painter's early works
combine dramatic grotesque with the charm of poetic mystery.
Gudiashvili's colours become warmer. Gudiashvili also worked as
a monumentalist, painting anew the Kashveti Church in Tbilisi in
1946, for which he was expelled from the Communist Party and
fired from the Tbilisi academy of fine arts, where he had been
teaching since 1926.
In the voluminous "antifascist cycle" of Indian ink drawings
Gudiashvili became a kind of "Georgian Goya": beastlike monsters
surrounded the ruins of art and naked "goddesses" conveyed the
ideas of the death of culture.
Lado Gudiashvili worked also as a book illustrator, cinema and
theater decorator. He died on July 20, 1980 in Tbilisi.

a Georgian avant-garde painter, graphic artist and scenic
designer. A multi-talent, he was also an art scholar and
innovator in the field of cinematography as well as an

Kakabadze's native province of Imereti is some of the most
interesting of his early works. Around the same time, he

Marjanishvili's theatre in Kutaisi. In 1931, he also produced
