Iliazd

A Georgian-French poet, publisher, and theorist, crucial for Dada in Tbilisi and the development of the modern 'livre d'artiste'.

Short Biography

Ilia Zdanevich, better known as Iliazd, was born on April 21, 1894, in Tbilisi (then Russian Empire). He was a pioneer of Russian Futurism and Dada in Georgia. Settling in Paris from 1921, he became one of the most radical and innovative creators of the 'livre d'artiste'. His publications, characterized by bold typographical experiments and the use of unconventional fonts and formats, were a fundamental contribution to the avant-garde aesthetic of the book.

Connection to the Book World

Iliazd is one of the most radical publishers in the history of bibliophily. He published 'livres d'artiste' with etchings and engravings by the greatest avant-garde artists, including Picasso, MirĂ³, and Max Ernst. His books are monuments of typographical and graphic experimentation, exploring the relationship between image and text in the most unconventional way.
