| Summary: | tmodernist miniature. The phenomenon of color is not explained
in the dictionary of Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani, only a list of individual
colors is presented (white, red, black, violet, blue) [1, p.188].
Viktor Nozadze dedicated a monumental monograph to the
color language of «The Knight in the Panther’s Skin». Moses
Gogiberidze especially discusses the music of Rustaveli's color in his
monograph «Rustaveli, Petritsi, Preludes».
Maya Jaliashvili, while analyzing the miniatures of Sandro
Tsirekidze (in the words of the critic, the sleep-walker of the word),
notes that the music and painting seemed to be combined and
revealed verbally [2, p.60].
In the miniatures of Rostom Chkheidze, we find the border
between the real and the unreal, which is also found in Georgian
modernism. As an example, we cite Marine Revishvili's quote about
Basil Melikishvili (whose life and work monograph is edited by
Rostom Chkheidze, as mentioned above): Cosmic understanding of
events is an important step in Basil Melikishvili's worldview and
stylistic searches, to tangibly outline the boundary between the real
and the unreal, wrapped in the web of the unknown, the mysterious.
The real and the unreal merge and make us feel the eternity of the
world, the unity of life and death... A symbolic key should open the
door to the bosom of the unknown [3, p.189]. We think that t
understand the essence of Rostom Chkheidze's collection of
miniatures – «Steps of the Sun», «Sparks of the Moon» and «Paths of
the Stars», we may think of the excerpt quoted above as a kind of
key.
Color is an important additional tone of the miniature. Eter
Beriashvili writes about the miniatures of Olesia Tavadze, you read
these small stories that are filled with sadness, and once again you believe, together with the c o l o r s (the line is ours – K.K.), that we
have gifted a word as an ordeal [4, p.8].
Rostom Chkheidze writes in the preface to the collection of
Georgian miniature prose (we will use a conceptual phrase this time
once again): A striking example of how philosophical thoughts grow
out of sentiments, symbolic-metaphorical speech, painstakingly
processed details and figurative images, are Vazha-Pshavela's
miniatures (with heartache, he also adds that, as we mentioned
above, Vazha's importance as a prose writer is still unexplored). |
