Exhibition of works by Vakhtang Beridze, Zachariah Maisuradze, Longinoz Sumbadze and Rene Schmerling

The exhibition showcasing the works of Georgian art scholars Vakhtang Beridze, Zachariah Maisuradze, Longinoz Sumbadze, and René Schmerling aims to illustrate the synthesis between scientific research and artistic creation. It seeks to demonstrate how these two domains mutually influenced and enriched each other. These four scholars represent the pioneering generation of art historians who established the foundation for the scholarly study of Georgian art. Beyond their seminal contributions to the field, their distinctive biographies and creative endeavors – which merge intuitive, emotional insights with rigorously structured academic research – constitute a significant and unique chapter in the history of XX-century Georgian Art.
