For this purpose, he applied topical Russian neo-romanticism of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The latter can be felt in his portraits. However, the Baku period paintings have a definite abundance of geometric features.<\/p><p>This collection includes Sidamon-Eristavi\u2019s graphic works on religious themes and other works in which his critical attitude towards the Soviet regime is revealed.<\/p><p>The 22 works from the diverse body of work of Valerian-Sidamon-Eristavi were selected for the exhibition.

In the 1920s, Georgian modernist theatre and film director Kote Marjanishvili invited him to work in the theatre, which marked the beginning of Georgian professional scenography. Valerian Sidamon-Eristavi made significant contributions to the development of the historical painting genre, Georgian scenography, and film production design. Sidamon-Eristavi was also interested in filmmaking and is regarded as the pioneer of Georgian film production design. He put a lot of effort into the opera projects. Following the Sovietization of his motherland, Sidamon-Eristavi, like other artists, was compelled to adhere to the party line on art. While forced to work within the framework of Socialist Realism, he created works that were defined by &#8220;loud&#8221; colors. In the spectacular and staged works, Soviet reality is depicted in a sarcastic and ironic way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The exhibition VALERIAN SIDAMON-ERISTAVI&#8221; from the NEW COLLECTION OF THE MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS In 2021, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Youth Affairs of Georgia purchased 425 works created in the 1930s by prominent Georgian artist Valerian Sidamon-Eristavi, including the paintings and drawings depicting&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6610,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[20],"class_list":["post-6626","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tribe_events_cat-exhibitions","cat_exhibitions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/art.gov.ge\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/6626","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/art.gov.ge\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/art.gov.ge\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art.gov.ge\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art.gov.ge\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6626"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/art.gov.ge\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/6626\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6630,"href":"https:\/\/art.gov.ge\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/6626\/revisions\/6630"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art.gov.ge\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6610"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/art.gov.ge\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art.gov.ge\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6626"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art.gov.ge\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=6626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
