Niko Pirosmani 1862-1918
It gives me a feeling of love to his person.
 
Pirosmani loved Frenchwoman Marguerite, a singer from chantant Veriiskogo gardens in Tiflis, and once, as we know, gave her a million scarlet roses. Niko Pirosmani left home and never returned. And no one still does not know where he went. Has passed away and never came back ...

          LITTLE SONG
   ABOUT THE ARTIST PIROSMANI

           Nicholas Gritsuk

What happens to us,
when we look at dreams?
Artist Pirosmani
out of the wall,

the framework of primitive
from all the hustle
and sells paintings
per meal.

Huda his knees
and watchful eyes,
but well-fed deer
pictures of his gaze,

Beauty Margarita
the grass is thick,
and her chest is open --
there is a mole trembles.

And the whole earth rejoices,
feasting and singing,
and it draws its
and Margarita waiting.

He loved life not sparingly,
As can be seen around ...
But not enough soup
on earth
him.

              1964

Photos exhibited paintings, about which you write. This is really a masterpiece, seen it live, touched, felt, etc. Yes, during the bidding process was a massacre, schastlyvym winner was my good friend. I know where she is now. In no sense is not a museum, in a private collection, so that people can see it again on uskusstva exhibitions of works from private collections or auction because in 5-7 years. (maybe not).
The tumult was caused by the fact that, firstly, is a masterpiece of the museum plan, and secondly, it is one of the two works Pirosmanashvili, which are outside of the post-Soviet space.
The initial price was not 300 thousand and 800 thousand and the final price for the buyer was 1 million 832 thousand U.S. dollars. USA.

Its wonderful animals ...

Here's what he wrote about the art Pirosmani Erast Davidovich Kuznetsov:

"More than a quarter of the extant paintings Pirosmanashvili - pictures of animals, and he himself used to say:" I love to paint animals. They are friends of my heart ... "But do not turn the language to call it animalist, and we do not care that the proportion of animals had all too often inaccurate, that the white bear was written with him in the thickets of corn, and a giraffe, not yellow, and silver-gray color. In all these pictures it is not so much about animals and birds, but about people.
Not surprisingly, most of all, he wrote to those in whom he could express his ideals, to convey his understanding of beauty and harmonious people, living with dignity - not defile nor evil, neither guile nor greed land on which he lives: the noble and proud of deer, the wise and stronger than lions, gentle and meek deer. Another favorite of his hero - "Paschal lamb" - the embodiment of pure and innocent creature, doomed to destruction, and going toward death, though unable to resist the inexorable and cruel fate. And the famous "Giraffe", which stands in the middle of a mysterious bare plains, looking at us with sadness and horror, became a kind of self-portrait, a mirror of his agitated soul. "

How deep is not it?
