Iranian Contemporary Art

"Representing significant trends of the Iranian art scene, Iranian Contemporary Art covers a wide range of styles, from calligraphic or abstract to figurative, and includes video photography and installations. It takes as a starting point a moment in the early 1960s when artists from Iran, fully acquainted with western art, sought inspiration from their own rich cultural heritage to produce distinctive forms of modern art. More recent works by a younger generation are shown, amongst them pieces that explore a conflict between modernism and tradition, or take a light-hearted look at the paradoxes of contemporary life."--Jacket.
