Cats appear and reappear throughout the art and archive of Iliazd, the polymathic Georgian artist

The work of Georgian-Polish and French writer and artist Ilia Zdanevich, more commonly known as Iliazd, is perhaps under-recognised in his own right. Celebrated with the succinct exhibition The Study of Form (2025–2026) at the Dalle Nogare Foundation in Bolzano, the forms Iliazd designed and constructed reflected his eclectic interests: architecture (Byzantine churches in particular), travel itineraries, cartography, geological specimens and printmaking. The latter was perhaps his most celebrated pursuit at the time, with Iliazd designing patterns for the textile industry, and printing and composing his words into unique shapes on his precious chine and japon papers.

His career encompassed many notable collaborations, from Coco Chanel, for whom he designed intricate geometric fabrics that would move elegantly even after being cut in a bias bind, to Marcel Duchamp, for whom Iliazd’s encyclopaedic knowledge of pattern geometry helped Duchamp to realise his famous multimedia work La Boîte-en-valise (1935–1941).

His contributions to the creation of expressive forms evoke the transdisciplinary approach of art historian Aby Warburg, whose Nachleben theory – literally translated as “afterlife” or “survival” – describes the persistent and transformative presence of images and symbolic forms from the past. The Russian avant-garde theory of “Toustism” or “everythingism” provides a similarly useful gloss.

An all-encompassing artistic philosophy aiming to overcome the limitations of previous movements by embracing and combining elements from all eras, the theory was not in search of a banal eclecticism, but rather looked to synthesise disparate styles across time and place.

Among the most personal and recurring motifs in his work was that of his relationship with his many cats. Each was closely documented, with meticulous records of their needs and likes and beautifully illustrated birthday cards, worthy of inclusion in one of the world’s many cat museums, such as the KattenKabinet in Amsterdam.       Christabel Stewart
