BIOGRAPHY Vera Pagava was born in Georgia in 1907 and grew up in Montrouge, near Paris. She trained at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs and joined André Lhote's studio. She began to earn her living by designing decorative fabrics for furniture. Along the way, she rubbed shoulders with Roger Brissière, Viera Da Silva and Nicolas de Stael, among others. She belongs to the Second School of Paris. Like Niko Pirosmani and Lado Goudiachvili, she is one of the most sought-after Georgian artists on the art market. NOTICE His battles are made up of conglomerations of human figures, in contrast to his still lifes. In a strangely frozen melee, soldiers of good and evil clash. "Shields would remain raised, spears brandished. Everything was prepared for battle, but the order to advance would not be given."
