An album was published in Munich, which included paintings by Rezo Gabriadze, a famous artist and director from Georgia. This album has been released in two languages: English and German. The same album is planned to be released in Russia. Representatives of the Tbilisi Puppet Theater, which was founded by Rezo Gabriadze, spoke about these intentions.

The management told about the album, which was published by the Sieveking Verlag company from Germany. This album contains paintings by a Georgian master. This album clearly shows what Georgia Rezo Gabriadze saw with his own eyes. From it you can also learn about the artist's memories, about how he remembered Tbilisi and Kutaisi in his childhood.

Andrei Sarabyanov, a Russian art historian, said that from Rezo's works, one can clearly see how he yearned for his childhood, which ended and the world where this very childhood passed. The artist remembered this world as bright, beautiful and unexpected. All this Gabriadze decided to show in his art works.

The specialists who were engaged in the creation of the album in Munich, in addition to the artwork themselves, decided to place in it the statements of the artist himself and texts of other people about Rezo. The album was named “Gabriadze. Poet - Artist of Georgia”. Albums with his works will be published in Georgia itself and in Russia.

Rezo Gabriadze was born in the city of Kutaisi. He is now 82 years old. During his long life, he composed scripts for more than thirty-five films. Films based on his scripts included “Kin-dza-dza!”, “Mimino”, “Freaks”, etc. The puppet theater in Tbilisi was founded by him in 1981. Rezo took part in the creation of many productions. He acted both as a director and as a costume designer, and was also an author. In the 90s he worked for some time in France and Switzerland, where he was engaged in staging the performances "Kutaisi" and "What sadness - the end of the alley". After that, Rezo Gabriadze decided to return to his homeland - to Georgia.

The artist painted a large number of paintings that stand out for the use of bright colors. Exhibitions of Gabriadze's artwork were held in the best museums in Israel, Georgia, France, Germany, the Russian Federation, the United States of America and other countries.
