Ладо Гудиашвили (1896-1980), Танцовщица, масло на холсте, подпись и дата, 1939 ?, 40,5x46 см Происхождение: Коллекционер русского и грузинского искусства ХХ века.

Ладо Гудиашвили (1896-1980) всегда оставался верным и привязанным к своей стране Грузии  на протяжении всей своей жизни. После того, как он зарекомендовал себя как художник на родной земле, он отправился во Францию через Италию в конце Первой мировой войны, чтобы провести несколько лет, работая и исследуя прелести Парижа, подружился с такими художниками, как Пикассо, Модильяни и Дерен. Вернувшись в Грузию, он продолжил работать над декорациями и костюмами для театра и оперы.

Гудиашвили получил широкое признание благодарячленству во многих ассоциациях и обществах, организующих выставки. Его картиныбыли отобраны для выставок русских художников в США в Нью-Йорке, Сан-Франциско,Филадельфии, Чикаго и Флориде, а также в Дрездене (Германия), и Венеции (Италия).

По-видимому, избежав конфликта с властями вовремя коммунистического правления, он согласился расписать фрески в церквиКашвети в Тбилиси, несмотря на то, что ему советовали этого не делать. Фрески противоречили советской идеологии и он стал забытым как художник, ему пришлось вести тихую жизнь в течение нескольких лет.

Группа данных работздесь перекликается со стилем театрального декоратора. Гудиашвили создалдраматические и романтические фоны, созданные толстыми мазками кисти, которые ставят на контрастсвет и тень для создания глубины картины.

Lado Gudiashvili (1896-1980) remained relatively loyal to his home country of Georgia throughout his active years. Once he had established himself as an artist on home soil, he went to France via Italy at the end of WWI to spend a few years working and exploring the delights of Paris, befriending the likes of Picasso, Modigliani and Derain. On his return to Georgia, he continued working in set and costume design for theatre and opera.

Gudiashvili received great exposure through membership to many associations and societies that organised exhibitions. His paintings were selected for exhibitions surrounding Russian artists in the US in New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Chicago and Florida as well as in Dresden, Germany and Venice, Italy.

Seemingly having avoided conflict with the authorities during the communist rule, he did accept to paint the murals at the Kashveti church in Tbilisi, despite being advised to the contrary. The frescos went against soviet ideology and cost him exclusion, having to lead a quiet life for some years after.

The set of works here echoes the style of a theatre set designer. Gudiashvili has created dramatic and romantic backdrops created through thick yet clever brush strokes that contrast light and shade to create depth.
