Explore the history of Georgian visual culture with this rare 1963 Soviet art history monograph, "Грузинская графика" (Georgian Graphic Art) by noted art historian Beno Pavlovich Gordeziani. Published in Tbilisi by the Literature and Art Publishing House of the Union of Soviet Writers of Georgia, this scholarly volume presents one of the earliest comprehensive studies of Georgian graphic arts and illustration.

Issued in a limited print run of just 3,000 copies, the book is an increasingly scarce reference for collectors of Soviet art books, Georgian cultural history, printmaking, and Caucasian visual arts.

A Comprehensive History of Georgian Graphic Arts

This richly illustrated monograph traces the development of Georgian graphic art from the late Imperial period through the Soviet era. Combining historical analysis with numerous reproduced artworks, it documents the evolution of illustration, book design, printmaking, and graphic composition in Georgia.

Topics covered include:

  • Georgian graphic art before 1921
  • Early Soviet graphic arts (1921–1953)
  • Graphic art during the Great Patriotic War (World War II)
  • Post-war artistic developments
  • Book illustration and printmaking
  • Soviet Georgian visual culture

Throughout the book are numerous black-and-white reproductions of drawings, engravings, book illustrations, sketches, and graphic compositions by some of Georgia's most influential artists.

Illustrated with Works by Prominent Georgian Artists

The volume includes reproductions of works by celebrated Georgian artists, including:

  • I. Charlemagne – Georgian Motive
  • Irakli Toidze – Toward a New Life
  • G. Chirinashvili – Illustration for Rusalka

These illustrations make the book valuable not only as an academic reference but also as a visual archive of twentieth-century Georgian art.
