This 1968 Georgian-language monograph by art historian Natela Urushadze is a dedicated study of the theatrical work of Elene Akhvlediani (1901–1975), one of Georgia's most celebrated 20th-century artists. Akhvlediani, renowned for her vibrant paintings, book illustrations, and particularly her scenography, made a profound impact on the visual culture of the Georgian stage. Published in Tbilisi by "Merani" in a substantial large format (27 cm), this hardcover volume includes 57 pages of text accompanied by 13 plates of illustrations, allowing for a detailed examination of her set and costume designs. With a print run of 3,000 copies, it served as an important publication for the Georgian Theatre Society, preserving and promoting the legacy of a key figure in Georgian modernism. This book is an essential resource for understanding the intersection of visual arts and theatre in the Soviet Georgian context, highlighting Akhvlediani's unique contribution to the cultural landscape.
