An illuminating monograph dedicated to the work of Irakli Ochiauri (1924–2015), a distinguished Georgian sculptor and master of metalwork who is widely credited with reviving and modernizing the ancient national art of Georgian repoussé (metal chasing/embossing). Published in 1970 by "Sovetskiy khudozhnik," this book, authored by art historian Kiti Machabeli, explores Ochiauri's profound impact on Soviet decorative and monumental arts. The artist's intricate copper, brass, and silver panels brilliantly synthesize traditional Caucasian historical and mythological motifs with the expressive, stylized aesthetics of the 1960s. The catalog is heavily illustrated with both black-and-white and color reproductions, capturing the textural depth and luminous qualities of his chased metal panels (such as "Khevsurka" and his renowned portraits). Preserved in excellent condition, this volume is an essential reference for collectors of Soviet decorative-applied arts, Caucasian sculpture, and 20th-century metalwork.
