About the Book

English summary: Today, Niko Pirosmani (1865-1919) is considered one of the most important painters in the history of 20th century art. As a self-taught, penniless vagabond and artist in life, his work was characterised by a uniqueness that was fed exclusively by the painter's rich spiritual world. His clear, flawless and immediate perception of the world and a childlike honesty broke academic boundaries and inspired the avant-gardists of his time. Fame and recognition nevertheless eluded him throughout his life, which was marked by hunger, the dire consequences of his drinking habit, homelessness and abject poverty. Unhappiness in love, exclusion from society, ridicule and scorn, finally a filthy basement and a dark, lonely death: this misfortune is contrasted by a bright, strong and pious spirit, a proud heart and the sublimity of unbridled, nature-loving freedom, which make this life appear to be a special and lively one despite all the opposition and external failure. On the basis of eyewitness accounts, newspaper articles, protocols, and, for the first time, sources that previously fell victim to communist censorship, the author sheds new light on Pirosmani's legendary life and finds answers to previously unsolved questions. He creates a fascinating and also contradictory portrait, which he embeds in the wide range of cosmopolitan social life in Georgia's capital Tbilisi at the turn of the century. We meet more or less famous personalities of the time, writers, poets, painters, politicians, shopkeepers, owners of taverns and pubs, and many more. German description: Niko Pirosmani (1865-1919) gilt heute als einer der wichtigsten Maler in der Kunstgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Als Autodidakt, mittelloser Vagabund und Lebenskunstler pragte sein Schaffen eine Einzigartigkeit, die sich ausschliesslich aus der reichhaltigen geistigen Welt des Malers speist. Die klare, makellose und unmittelbare Wahrnehmung der Welt und eine kindliche Ehrlichkeit sprengten die akademischen Grenzen und begeisterten die Avantgardisten seiner Zeit. Ruhm und Anerkennung blieben ihm dennoch zeit seines Lebens verwehrt. Hunger, die Folgen seiner Trunksucht, Obdachlosigkeit und bitterste Armut zeichnen sein Leben. Glucklosigkeit in der Liebe, Ausschluss aus der Gesellschaft, Spott und Hohn, zuletzt ein Kellerloch und ein einsamer, dunkler Tod: Diesem Ungluck steht ein heller, starker und frommer Geist, ein stolzes Herz und die Erhabenheit zugelloser, naturverbundener Freiheit gegenuber, die dieses Leben trotz aller Widerstande und des ausseren Scheiterns als ein besonderes und lebendiges erscheinen lassen. Auf Basis von Zeitzeugenberichten, Zeitungsartikeln, Protokollen, erstmals auch solchen Quellen, die zuvor der kommunistischen Zensur zum Opfer fielen, wirft der Autor ein neues Licht auf das legendenhafte Leben Pirosmanis und findet Antworten auf bisher ungeloste Fragen. Er schafft ein faszinierendes und auch widerspruchliches Portrat, das er einbettet in die weite Palette des weltoffen wirkenden Gesellschaftslebens in Georgiens Hauptstadt Tbilisi um die Jahrhundertwende. Wir treffen mehr oder weniger beruhmte Personlichkeiten der Zeit, Schriftsteller, Dichter, Maler, Politiker, Ladeninhaber, Besitzer von Wirtshausern und Kneipen, und viele mehr. In Georgien wurde der Roman gleich nach Erscheinen in die Shortlist der Georgischen Nationalen Buchpreise Saba und Gala aufgenommen. Ins Deutsche ubersetzt Heinz Fahnrich.
