Book Synopsis



Iranian artists have been producing some of the world's most
thought-provoking and intellectually grounded artworks.

In this landmark compendium, renowned art historian Hamid
Keshmirshekan provides a thorough review of contemporary art in Iran and shows
that the twentieth century was a crucial period in the country's art and
culture, when the legacies of tradition and modernism where critically
reassessed.

Contemporary Iranian Art is an unprecedented
introduction to Iran's vibrant art history over the past one hundred years.
This fully revised and updated edition features more than 370 colour
illustrations by the country's leading artists, including Mahmoud Bakhshi,
Shadi Ghadirian, Barbad Golshiri, Marcos Grigorian, Farhad Moshiri, Shirin
Neshat, Sohrab Sepehri, Mitra Tabrizian, Parviz Tanavoli and Charles Hossein
Zenderoudi.
