  • Interview with Bahman Jalali1
    11 Interview with Bahman Jalali1 By Catherine David2 Catherine David: Among all the Muslim countries, it seems that it was in Iran where photography was first developed immediately after its invention – and was most inventive. Bahman Jalali: Yes, it arrived in Iran just eight years after its invention. Invention is one thing, what about collecting? When did collecting photographs beyond family albums begin in Iran? When did gathering, studying and curating for archives and museum exhibitions begin? When did these images gain value? And when do the first photography collections date back to? The problem in Iran is that every time a new regime is established after any political change or revolution – and it has been this way since the emperor Cyrus – it has always tried to destroy any evidence of previous rulers. The paintings in Esfahan at Chehel Sotoon3 (Forty Pillars) have five or six layers on top of each other, each person painting their own version on top of the last. In Iran, there is outrage at the previous system. Photography grew during the Qajar era until Ahmad Shah Qajar,4 and then Reza Shah5 of the Pahlavi dynasty. Reza Shah held a grudge against the Qajars and so during the Pahlavi reign anything from the Qajar era was forbidden. It is said that Reza Shah trampled over fifteen thousand glass [photographic] plates in one day at the Golestan Palace,6 shattering them all. Before the 1979 revolution, there was only one book in print by Badri Atabai, with a few photographs from the Qajar era. Every other photography book has been printed since the revolution, including the late Dr Zoka’s7 book, the Afshar book, and Semsar’s book, all printed after the revolution8.

  • THE SOCIETY for ASIAN ART PRESENTS Through the Pishtaq: Art, Architecture and Culture of Persia APRIL 22 - MAY 9, 2018
    THE SOCIETY FOR ASIAN ART PRESENTS Through the Pishtaq: Art, Architecture and Culture of Persia APRIL 22 - MAY 9, 2018 More than five hundred years before Christ, Cyrus the Great founded one of the world’s first empires at Pasargadae. Over the centuries Persian civilization has been impacted by diverse cultural influences from invading Greeks, Arabs, Mongols and Turks. Join Dr. Keelan Overton on a journey through Iran where impressive monuments serve as vivid testament to the extraordinary history and culture of the country. The name Persia, used by the ancient Greeks, is derived from the southwesterly province of Pars which was the cradle of the Persian Empire. It was here that the Achaemenids became the first kings of a united country. They built capitals at Pasargadae and Persepolis and ruled over territory which stretched from the Persian Gulf to the Black Sea and from China in the east to the Mediterranean shores in the west. It is a welcoming and beautiful country of contrasts, of jagged mountains and golden deserts punctuated by slender wind towers, crumbling clay-baked caravansaries, and everywhere a horizon pierced by mosques and turquoise minarets. ----------------------------------Tour Highlights -------------------------------------- Tehran– 3 nights Visit Jameh Atigh, 9th c.

  • 1 Iran Triplog October 10 to 12.We Started the Trip with an Overnight,13
    Iran Triplog October 10 to 12.We started the trip with an overnight,13-hour Qatar flight to Doha; followed by a 7-hour layover; and then a 2.5-hour flight to Tehran, arriving at 4 am on the 12th. We whisked through security and immigration (unlike others whose luggage was thoroughly searched) and we were met at the airport by a driver and the assistant guide, Javad. The drive to the Espinas Hotel (which turned out to be the best hotel of the trip) took about an hour and we checked in and napped for 3 hours or so before going to breakfast. October 12. We were pleased to discover when we checked in that the breakfast was included. It was a selection of yoghurts, cheeses, breads, cereals, various fruits, dates, honey, a spinach frittata “cucu sabzi”, etc., as well 3 or 4 hot selections and an omelet station. To varying degrees, this was the breakfast at each hotel, so we had lots of options and plenty of food. After breakfast, we walked around the neighborhood a bit, then walked to Laleh Park and spent some time walking there. It’s a very large park, and each time we walked there we discovered a new section. There is a small Japanese area with stepping stones, a stage with cement seating, an area where locals blocked off sections and put up nets for net games, a long waterway flanked with blooming oleander, sculptures of historical figures, and flower beds in various areas, a pond, an area of woods…oh, and lots of very well-fed cats.

This research will evaluate Iran’s potential in the tourism industry and especially cultural tourism development and tries to compare it with Turkey because of their regional proximities and similarities in culture, attractions, and religion. Scientific research shows that increasing international tourism arrivals is a way to generate more revenue than oil and development of cultural tourism is an alternative to oil based economy. The main goals of this research are: 1- evaluation of accelerating factors in cultural tourism development both in Iran and Turkey 2- evaluation of decelerating factors in cultural tourism both in Iran and Turkey. This analysis is based on information gathered through electronic data, discussion with heritage tourism managers and stakeholder workshops.

  • Metalwork Motifs of the Western Part of Iran (13Th and 14Th Centuries) in Two Samples of Reza Abbasi Museum “Basin and Tray”
    Vol.15/ No.59/ May 2018 DOI: 10.22034/bagh.2018.60567 Received 2017/10/31 Accepted 2018/02/12 Persian translation of this paper entitled: نقوش فلزکاری غرب ایران )قرن7و8 ه.ق( با تأکید بر دو اثر موزه رضا عباسی »لگن و مجمعه« is also published in this issue of journal. Metalwork motifs of the Western part of Iran (13th and 14th Centuries) in two samples of Reza Abbasi Museum “Basin and tray” Yeganeh Guran* Araz Najafi** Mahmood Tavoosi*** Abstract Based on material evidence and written sources, the contribution and role of the metalwork of Khorasan, especially in the 13th century, which is one of the most active and the most outstanding metalworking schools in the Islamic period, is effective in developing the basic changes in the area of building and decoration of defined metal works and has given it a privileged position. But after the devastating attack of the Mongols, the destruction of Khorasan and the escape of artists to the west, it was the school of Mosul in northern Iraq that reached the sublime stance which earlier belonged to the great Khorasan. Though until the end of the 13th century the dominant style of Iranian metalworking was actually a combination of Iranian and Mosul styles, the reputation of the works of Mosul most of the exquisite objects produced at that time to be attributed to Mosul. However, a large part of the decorative motifs and themes in this area have been the realization of the continuation of the experiences of Iranian Islamic artists with a modern identity that artists took advantage based on their contemporary culture and region.
