Notes
Global Avantgarde Georgia 6; Chepyzhov 21: "A very rare collaboration between two esteemed representatives of Georgian art, Iona Vakeli (1900-1988) and Irakli Gamrekeli. This book is probably one of the only examples by Gamrekeli of a series of abstract drawings for a book of poetry. The main motifs are the industrial city, pictured in chaotic lines and odd angles with dancing signboards (...). Interestingly Gamrekeli used the poor quality of paper available at the time to the advantage of his sharp black & white images."
