    • George Papashvily (1898–1978) was a Georgian-American writer and sculptor. He was one of the most famous Georgian artists of the 20th century. According to his autobiographical first book, Papashvily apprenticed as a swordmaker and ornamental leatherworker. After serving as a sniper with the Imperial Russian Army during World War I, he returned to the newly independent Democratic Republic of Georgia. Papashvily also fought in the Georgian Army against the 1921 Red Army invasion and, after defeat on the battlefield and the Soviet annexation of his country, he fled to Istanbul. Papashvily immigrated to the United States circa 1923-1924, where he met his wife, Helen Waite (1906–1996). The two authored several works together, including Anything Can Happen (1945), a humorous account of George’s experiences as a new immigrant in the United States.
