This 1963 monograph, "Georgian Graphics," is a significant work authored by Beno Gordeziani (1894–1975), a leading figure of the Georgian avant-garde and an innovative graphic designer. The book provides a historical overview of the development of graphic arts in Georgia, structured into periods: before 1921, 1921-1953, from the beginning of the Great Patriotic War (WWII), and recent years. As a study created by a practitioner who was central to the modernist movements of the 1920s—such as the Dadaist-Futurist group 'H2SO4'—this volume offers an insider's perspective on the evolution of a national artistic style. Edited by Ucha Dzhaparidze and published in Tbilisi by "Literature and Art" in a print run of 3,000 copies, this hardcover book serves as a valuable reference. It bridges the revolutionary experimentation of the early 20th century with the formalized art historical discourse of the Soviet period, making it an essential resource for understanding the trajectory of Georgian visual culture.
