ქართული ანბანი არ ერწყმის რიცხვებს ისე, როგორც ლათინური. ამიტომ ეს მეთოდი ქართულში არ მუშაობს. მიეცი მსხვერპლს

The name “Pen 15” itself is deliberately provocative and opaque. The word “pen” (პენ) is a direct borrowing from English, suggesting a writing instrument, but the number “15” has sparked decades of speculation. Some scholars argue it refers to the 15 letters of the Georgian alphabet that were considered “modern” or “dynamic” by the group’s linguistically inventive members. Others propose it was simply a random, anti-academic gesture—a rejection of the romanticized group names common in 19th-century Georgian art (e.g., “The Blue Horns”). What is certain is that the name signaled a break: this was not a salon for gentle landscapes and love poetry, but a laboratory for radical form. როცა მოაწერს, უთხარი:

The group coalesced around the Tbilisi State University’s informal literary circles and the city’s bustling café culture, where Russian Futurists like Vladimir Mayakovsky (who visited Tbilisi) and Italian Futurist manifestos were being discussed with fervor. Key founders included the poet Titsian Tabidze (though he later distanced himself), the more iconoclastic Paolo Iashvili, and the visual artist Lado Gudiashvili. However, the true radical wing of Pen 15—the one most responsible for its scandalous reputation—included the poet Kolau Nadiradze and the painter Kirile Zdanevich, brother of the Russian Futurist Ilya Zdanevich.

The fate of Pen 15 was sealed by Georgia’s Sovietization in 1921. While early Bolsheviks like Mayakovsky had flirted with Futurism, Stalin’s rising power demanded a monolithic, accessible art: socialist realism. By 1924, the group had been formally denounced as “formalist degenerates.” Paolo Iashvili, despite attempts to conform, was arrested and executed in the 1937 Great Purge. Titsian Tabidze suffered the same fate. Lado Gudiashvili survived by retreating into book illustration and a more subdued, lyrical style. Kolau Nadiradze vanished from official records.

For decades, Pen 15 was a forbidden name in Georgian art history. However, during the Thaw of the 1960s and especially after Georgia’s independence in 1991, their work was rediscovered by a new generation. Contemporary Georgian artists—from the “10th Floor” non-conformist group of the 1980s to digital artists today—cite Pen 15 as a direct precursor. Their emphasis on linguistic play, urban grit, and the fusion of word and image anticipated postmodernism by half a century.
