Konstantine Gdzelishvili was a painter. In 1922-27 he studied at the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts, in 1937-70 he taught at the academy, and from 1968 he was a professor of Tbilisi State Academy of Arts. Since 1927, he participated in art exhibitions. The main theme of his works is the nature of Georgia and its architectural monuments. His works are characterized by a sharp difference between small-scale studies of landscapes and the processing of large-scale finished canvases intended for the general public. The artist paints the landscape motif more “chamber-wise”, tries to idealize it, and adds genre elements to the landscapes of an epic nature given in a wide view, thanks to which he turns them into an acceptable format for social realism. The landscape etudes are completely different, where the author, like the landscapes of Aleksandre Tsimakuridze, uses a free, but more emotional manner of performance. Konstantine Gdzelishvili does not shy away from generalization of forms – abstraction. A tree marked with each stroke of a brush, a building seen from a distance or a human figure does not lose its beauty despite certain conditionality, even when it appears as the fruit of the author’s subjective perception and the manifestation of the artist’s temperament. The artist’s works are preserved at Georgian National Museum, the Georgian State Museum of Literature.
