Biography

Sergei Parajanov (Armenian: Սերգեյ Փարաջանով; Russian: Серге́й Ио́сифович Параджа́нов; Georgian: სერგო ფარაჯანოვი; Ukrainian: Сергій Йо́сипович Параджа́нов; sometimes spelled Paradzhanov or Paradjanov; January 9, 1924 – July 20, 1990) was a Soviet film director and artist of Armenian descent who made significant contributions to Soviet cinematography through Ukrainian, Georgian, and Armenian cinema. One of the representatives of the Ukrainian poetic cinema movement. He pioneered the collage genre in Ukrainian visual arts, which he created on the basis of conceptualism, although during his lifetime these works remained underground and only appeared in exhibitions after the artist's death.
