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 ".

And I'll tell you about the tropical garden
About slender palm trees, about the smell of grass unimaginable ...
Are you crying? Listen ... far away, at Lake Chad
Gourmet wanders giraffe. (c)

I want to appeal to administrators. You are yummy my post 9 to post 10.
According to Kuznetsov, presented in this report were only related to 3-m photographic.

Its wonderful animals ...

Administrators somehow combine my two posts, and later threw the photo, which is related to said Kuznetsova.

Repeat.

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. "

April 6, 1969 in the Louvre with the participation of the French National Legion solemnly opened a personal exhibition of the great self-taught.

The exhibition was opened by French Culture Minister Andre Malraux. He said: "The exhibition Pirosmani in Paris - an event in the life of modern European art." The opening was attended by French Foreign Minister Michel Debré, Louis Aragon (one of the initiators of the exhibition), Elsa Triolet, Jacques Prévert, Armand Lanoue, Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko Nicholas and others.

The French press is one and a half months of extensive coverage of this exhibition. Pirosmani compared with Giotto, whose name is associated the beginning of the Renaissance in Italy, he placed above the French primitivist Henri Rousseau.

Long before, as if foreseeing the success of the exhibition Pirosmani in the Louvre, Ilya Ehrenburg wrote: "The walls are covered with paintings Tiflis dukhans Pirosmanashvili, unknown artist here, which could shake up plenty of skeptical Paris.
