The Analysis of War Reflections in Kazem Chalipa’s Paintings According to Panofsky Case Study: Three Works on the Theme of Mother/ Woman Minoo Khany* Christophe Balay** Mostafa Goudarzi*** Abstract In Iranian art history, Kazem Chalipa is recorded as one of the pioneer Iranian artists who are known as painters of Islamic Revolution. He has been a painting student of Hannibal Alkhas at Tehran University Faculty of Fine Arts and under his supervision he learned and gained experience. Since being grown up in a religious family, with the advent of the revolutionary movements, he joined the artists who believed in committed social art and created works influences by the society. These artists artistically returned to the society the sense they have received from; the path that continued during the years of Iran-Iraq war and then after. In this paper, the artist’s viewpoints about Islamic Revolution and Sacred Defense paintings are discussed. Then, among twelve works of his which have reflections of Iran-Iraq war, three works focusing on the role of women/mother are analyzed. These studies showed that Chalipa is an ethnographer. He uses a variety of symbols. Signs of Ghahve Khaneh (Coffee House) Art can be clearly traced in his works and women/ mothers are the subjects of many of his works.

According to the plan, climate characteristics, employment attractions and lower housing costs than Tehran will be the main factors to select pardis for habitation. During these years,the failure of many of the Master Plan programs and the extraordinary implementation of some projects such as construction of "Maskan-e- Mehr" projects has caused many of the plan's initial aims to be failed in pardis And habitation's situation will face to serious challenges.so that it has predicted after the full implementation of "Maskan-e- Mehr" projects, The city's population reaches more than 400,000, more than twice its initial capacity.

  • Pardeh-Khani a Conceptual Model for Iranian National Cinema
    PARDEH-KHANI A CONCEPTUAL MODEL FOR IRANIAN NATIONAL CINEMA MAJID FADAEI THESIS SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY CULTURAL CENTER UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA KUALA LUMPUR 2014 ABSTRACT This research has proposed Iran’s traditional art of Pardeh-khani as a suitable and applicable model for attaining a national cinema in this country; Pardeh-khani (pictorial storytelling) or Parde-dari is a kind of storytelling and minstrelsy with painted canvases that some scenes of epic, myth, moral and especially religious stories are painted on them. Mixture of speech and image in Pardeh-khani cause this kind of storytelling in the most popular and dramatic kind within Iran ancient arts. Pardeh-khani is very similar to modern art of cinema which served an analogous function in the past. Iran’s cinema, despite producing decorated works and eye-catching successes in global festivals during its 110-years history (1900-2010), has not been able yet to gain its actual position and status. It has failed to become a national cinema having a unique identity. As a matter of fact, despite all cultural and artistic potentials and capabilities of ancient Iran’s civilization and also presence of creative artists, Iran’s cinema has not managed to possess a national style with an identity commensurate with culture and identity of this civilization. By investigating different dimensions of this art that enjoyed remarkable popularity among Iranians along the history until a near past, this study attempts to render a theoretical and practical framework for national cinema in Iran. i ABSTRAKT Kajian ini adalah mengenai kesenian tradisional Iran Pardeh-khani yang boleh dijadikan aplikasi model yang sesuai untuk mendapatkan pawagam bertaraf nasional di Negara ini.
