Abstract
At the beginning of the 20th century Paris became a mecca for the artists from different countries. Here they could learn modern tendencies and art movements, become a part of international avant-garde artistic community and even exhibit the most modernistic artworks. The major part of the Russian artists who decided to emigrate after the Revolution of 1917 settled in Paris. Those who had been only once in this center of the European art life would never forget Paris who gave them their artistic identity, a feeling of modernity, experience of a pioneer. That’s why many of them including Russian emigre artists dedicated their works to Paris. The article analyzes the image of Paris in the work of Lado Gudiashvili, Alexander Serebryakov, Yuri Annenkov, Alexander Arnstam.
