Lado Gudiashvili - A painter, graphic artist, illustrator, theatre decorator, cinema artist, monumentalist. People's Artist of Georgia. Laureate of the Shota Rustaveli State Prize.
He studied painting and sculpture at the School of Fine Arts in Tbilisi from 1910-14. He took part in Ekvtime Takhaishvili's Tao-Klarjeti expedition in 1917, where he made copies of ancient Georgian frescoes. He lived and worked in Paris from 1919-26 and studied at Ronson's "Free Academy".
His works contain scenes from the bohemian life of old Tbilisi on the one hand, and legends and historical stories inspired by Georgia's past on the other. He created idealised portraits of modern people.
The compositions depict characters full of grandiose emotions embodied in the author's imaginary world.
