Art from Georgia ? Rembrandt As some of you from the eye of the storm of the International Artworld look sometimes a bit astonished that there is art, or something like that, in the Caucasus I show you to proove a photo of two Georgian artists. It shows Karaman Kutatelatse and Niko Tskhetslatse, just two from a couple of thousand only in Tbilisi. But as I like this image- it seems to show in a way just two important sides of our very own complicated ego as artists or art critics: The uprising, impressive, towering, demanding attention and self-confident one and the silly, addlebrained, dwarfish, doubting, marginal one. So that leads me to the Posts on the late religious Rembrandt portraits today, about I am convinced, that this is the true strength (beside his marvellous painting) of his art: To put the finger in this wound of ourselfs and the portraited, that we are both: Giants and doubting milquetoasts. Doesnt Rembrandts Selfportrait as the Apostle Paul from 1661 look a bit like poor drunken Niko (right) ?
