Man holding a Necklace

Tsereteli's works, though often welcomed by the authorities, tend to become objects of strong public criticism. His sculptures are often blamed and mocked for being incongruously pompous and out of proportion. As you can see by the sculpture here, the abnormality is definitely quite striking. He has exaggerated the size of their hands, feet, width of their body, nose, and eyes. Most of his pieces are very similar, repeatedly including these exact same features. He seems to enjoy sculpting his own world of people, bringing his dreams into reality, making us the audience step into it.
