  • Parviz Tanavoli Poet in Love
    1970s-2011 Works from the Artist ’s Collection Parviz Tanavoli Poet in Love Austin / Desmond Fine Art Pied Bull Yard 68/69 Great Russell St Bloomsbury London WC1B 3BN Telephone: + 44 (0)20 7242 4443 Email: gallery @austindesmond .com Web : ww w.austindesmond .com 1 The Global Vision of Parviz Tanavoli Dr David Galloway Thirty-five years have passed since my first encounter with Parviz Tanavoli in Iran: years of creation and achievement, of revolution and heartache, of exile and return. More than a friend, he was also a mentor who taught me to decipher (and cherish) some of the rich visual codes of Persian culture. Furthermore, he did so not by leading me pedantically through museums and archeological sites but simply by welcoming me to his atelier, where the language of the past was being transmuted into a vivid contemporary idiom. This vital synthesis is, without doubt, the greatest achievement of the greatest sculptor to emerge from the modern Islamic world. For decades, gifted artists from Iran or Iraq, Egypt or Morocco had studied in famous Western art centers and returned home to shoulder the burden of a seemingly irresolvable dilemma. Either they could apply their skills to the traditional arts or propagate the styles and techniques acquired in their journeyman years – at the risk of being labeled epigones. It was, of course, not merely Islamic artists who faced such a dilemma, but more generally those whose vision had initially been fostered by a powerful traditional aesthetic and were subsequently exposed to a contemporary Western form language. (The extraordinarily rich visual heritage of Iran, on the other hand, lent the choice particular urgency.) Tanavoli resolved the dilemma by embracing the arts and handicrafts of his own culture but also by literally reinventing them, passing them through the filter of his own exposure to Western movements.

  • Modernism in Iran:1958-1978 Colin Browne & Pantea Haghighi
    In conversation: Modernism in Iran:1958-1978 Colin Browne & Pantea Haghighi Pantea Haghighi and Colin Browne met on June 20, 2018 to discuss Modernism in Iran: 1958-1978, which ran from January 26 to May 5, 2018 at Griffin Art Projects in North Vancouver, BC. Colin Browne: I’m speaking with Pantea Haghighi, owner and curator of Republic Gallery in Vancouver, BC, about an exhibition she organized recently entitled Modernism in Iran: 1958-1978. Would you be willing to describe it for us, along with your intentions? Pantea Haghighi: Sure. The exhibition featured works by Mohammad Ehsai, Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian, Mansour Ghandriz, Farideh Lashai, Sirak Melkonian, Bahman Mohasses, Faramarz Pilaram, Behjat Sadr, Parviz Tanavoli, Mohsen Vaziri-Moghaddam, and Charles Zenderoudi. These artists played an important role in establishing Modernism in Iran during the cultural renaissance that occurred between 1958 and 1978. In Iran, their work is referred to as Late Modernism. I decided to divide the gallery in half. On one side I placed the work of those artists who were exploring their national artistic identity, returning to old Persian motifs in order to identify with Modernism. On the other side, I placed the work of artists who were heavily influenced by Western art. When you entered the room, you were immediately aware of the two different expressions of Iranian Modernism. CB: I want to ask about the show, but let’s frst talk about what might be called Early Modernism in Iran. PH: Early Modernism dates from around 1940, when the School of Fine Arts at the University of Tehran opened.

The professionals of illumination use these techniques in books to beautifully virtualize the golden pages of the eternal literature and the religious texts of their homeland. In this way, the sides and margins of the pages are decorated with designs of Islimi (arabesque) branches, stems, flowers, and Cathay (Khataei) leaves. Illuminations like paintings have various schools and periods, such as the Seljuk, Bukhara, Timurid, Safavid, Qajar schools, with further branches within each school. The illuminations of different periods represent the states and spirits of those eras. However, the illustrated paintings have been performed in the primary state in each school and era with some minor differences in colors and designs, and it can be said that the basis of the illustrated designs are three geometric shapes of the square, circle and triangle, and the combination of these three shapes.

This study tries to investigate how the works of Iranian visual artists demonstrate their reactions to the 1953 Coup and progresses towards modernization that occurred after the White Revolution of Shāh in 1963. The advent of the protest concept has coincided with the presence of Modern and Contemporary art in Iran when the country was occupied by allies during the Second World War. The 1953 Coup was a significant protest event that motivated some of the artists to react against the monarchy’s intention. Although, poets, authors, journalists, and writers of plays were pioneer to combat dictatorship, the greatest modernist artists of that time, impressed by the events after the 1953 Coup, just used their art as rebellious manifest against the governors.
