This is an important lifetime exhibition catalog dedicated to Lado (Vladimir) Gudiashvili (1896-1980), a giant of 20th-century Georgian art. Compiled by his wife and fellow artist Nino Gudiashvili and prefaced by art historian V. Beridze, this official catalog was published in 1957 by the State Publishing House "Sakhelgami". Issued during the cultural "Thaw" period, it reflects the recognition and official status of Gudiashvili's distinctive modernist style, which blended Georgian national motifs with European avant-garde influences. As a primary document contemporary to the artist's active career, the catalog provides invaluable insight into the curation of his work in the mid-Soviet period and serves as a key bibliographic record for his oeuvre. It is a significant collectible for enthusiasts of Georgian and Soviet art history.
