Can you truly know a man who belonged everywhere and nowhere, whose life was as enigmatic as his art?

In Pirosmani – Georgian Notebooks, Aka Morchiladze attempts to introduce us to Niko Pirosmani... though "introduce" is a relative term. Little is factually known about Nikala. He was a man of a different breed, a different life, and a different circle. He couldn't penetrate the social sphere he desired, and he couldn't find peace in the one he inhabited. He longed to paint, he yearned for a family, and he struggled to find his place in the world—but at what cost? This volume offers an intimate, narrative exploration of the life of Georgia's most famous primitive artist, separating the man from the myth in Morchiladze's signature impressionistic style.
