"The Georgian artist David Kakabadze was born on 20 August, 1889 in the village Kukhi, Kutaisi Province. In 1901 entered the Kutaisi Gimnasium and was seriously interested in painting. In 1908 he started to learn painting with the painter Paevski. He embarched on his creative career in the first decade of the twentieth century. He evinced a strong interest in the Georgian national traditions. His other concern was the assimilation of the latest art trends then current in Western Europe. Kakabadze's activities encompassed many kinds and genres of visual art: portraiture, still-life and landscape art, miniatures, murals, theatre and cinema settings. His work may be divided into several periods: those of St. Peterburg (1909-18), Tbilisi (1918-19), Paris (1919-27), and again Tbilisi (1927-52). During his Paris years, Kakabadze was in close touch with the latest movements in Western European art. His experiments were much along the same lines as those of Picasso, Dufy and Derain." [1]

"David Kakabadze was an avant-garde painter, graphic artist, and set designer. He was also an art scholar, a cinematographic innovator and a photographer. He studied at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics at St.Petersburg University. In 1919, together with Lado Gudiashvili and Sergei Sudeikin, Kakabadze painted the popular artistic café Kimerioni. He spent the years 1919-1927 in Paris, where he was not only involved in artistic life, but also worked on texts dedicated to art theory. After returning to Georgia, he taught at the Tbilisi State Academy of Art from 1928 until 1948, when he was dismissed for failing to ensure "the education of students in accordance with the Socialist method"."
