Description
Trilingual book-album: "Niko Firosman - Life and Creativity", author: Temo Japaridze.

The Georgian, French and English-speaking readers of the book have the opportunity to get acquainted with the very interesting and in-depth essay of the late writer and artist Temo Japaridze on Firosman, which he wrote in 1998 and published in a small collection. 
Japaridze recounts often little-known biographical details and stories from Firosman's life, while trying to understand the phenomenon of Firosman and his work in a wider, European context;
As Japaridze notes, "Firosman's art created a symbol of Georgia, its kind of icon, and at the same time, Firosman himself became an icon. Poor, but spiritually rich; insightful, equally incomprehensible to the well-wishers and the unkind; powerless in the face of life's injustices and yet faithful to his calling; deeply emotional and Expensive for words; difficult character and generous to the point of naivety - that's how Firosman is";
The book also collects more than 50 reproductions of Firosman, which are preserved in the National Museum;
