1862 -1918 · Georgia, self-taught painting and animal presence
Born in 1862 in the Georgian region of Kakheti, Niko Pirosmani led a modest life and trained alone. He painted for taverns, businesses and ordinary sponsors, often on black oilcloth, an available material which became an expressive component of his style. Animals, merchants, musicians, parties, signs and landscapes compose a very personal chronicle of the Georgia of his time. Pirosmani voluntarily simplifies the volume, isolates his figures and uses a restrained palette where white, earth and some bold colors emerge from the background.

Pirosmani voluntarily simplifies the volume, isolates his figures and uses a restrained palette where white, earth and some bold colors emerge from the background. Discovered by the Georgian and Russian avant-gardes at the beginning of the 20th century, he especially enjoyed recognition posthumous. His work should not be reduced to instinctive naivety: his economy of means, his sense of silhouette and his way of suspending the story produce an immediately recognizable painting. The "Niko Pirosmani" selection notably compares The Lion and The Giraffe. His reading favors the material.
In Pirosmani, simplicity does not erase the mystery: it focuses the gaze on the silent dignity of each being.
