David Kakabadze (1889–1952) was a titan of the Georgian avant-garde, a pioneering painter, graphic artist, scenic designer, and art theoretician whose work brilliantly fused European modernist trends—such as Cubo-Futurism and biomorphic abstraction—with traditional Caucasian ornamental motifs. Published in 1989 as part of the "New Gallery. 20th Century" series, this comprehensive album represents a landmark first edition in the study of his legacy. It provides a deeply researched biographical and critical overview of his artistic evolution, covering his influential Parisian period in the 1920s through his later theatrical and pedagogical work in Tbilisi. Crucially, this volume includes the first Russian translations of Kakabadze's theoretical treatises on art, originally published in Paris during the 1920s. With high-quality reproductions of his paintings, graphic works, and spatial-kinetic constructions, this securely bound copy in its original dust jacket is an essential reference for scholars and collectors focusing on the Russian and Caucasian avant-garde, Georgian modernism, and 20th-century stage design.
