Abstract

“Modern Art is a genuine offspring of the city… the city created new images, here the foundation was laid for the literary school, known as Symbolism…The poet’s consciousness was burdened by the gray iron city and it poured out into a new unknown song”  (Tabidze 2011: 121-122), - writes Georgian Symbolist Titsian Tabidze in his program article Tsisperi Qantsebit (With Blue Horns). Indeed, in the Symbolist aesthetics the city-megalopolis, as a micro model of the material world, is formed as one of the basic concepts.
