At the moment, we are experiencing a challenging period of transition from tradition to modernity and our art is somehow a reflection of this critical state in which we are.\n\n\n\nFrom around 150 years ago, we have found ourselves confronted with a world different from our own: it was the modern West whose symbolism both fascinated and repelled us, like a shock that woke us from a centuries-old slumber, to rise and step foot on an unknown path.\n\n\n\nWe soon realized that we had no choice but to adapt ourselves with this unfamiliar phenomenon, or, in other words, become \u201cmodern\u201d. But this modernization would require us to turn our backs on many of the values that formed the basis of our thought and way of life, i.e. the \u201ctradition\u201d that had lost its determining force.\n\n\n\nHowever, detaching from tradition and turning to modernity was no easy task, especially because we knew not why and how these two had come face to face. We neither had deep knowledge of our own tradition nor were we familiar with modernity, history, philosophy and their components. This is how we became engaged in an important social and cultural struggle for which we have still not found a clear solution. Throughout the years, our efforts have been primarily focused on modernization, without having properly experienced modernity itself. This is why I believe that one cannot refer to novel approaches in Iranian art as being modern, nor can more recent tendencies (often multimedia) be considered postmodern. Even though our artistic modernism has stemmed from Western achievements in this regard, they are not one in essence. We have played no role in the development of modernism or in its critique. Our modernism, and any reactions to it, find meaning in the context of our cultural life and its contradictions.\n\n\n\nNew phenomena in our art have not..."}{"@context":"http://schema.org/","@type":"WebSite","@id":"herfeh-honarmand.com-website-site","url":"https://herfeh-honarmand.com","name":"\u062d\u0631\u0641\u0647: \u0647\u0646\u0631\u0645\u0646\u062f","potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://herfeh-honarmand.com?s={search_term_string}","query-input":"required s=search_term_string"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","@id":"herfeh-honarmand.com-organization-brand","url":"https://herfeh-honarmand.com","name":"\u062d\u0631\u0641\u0647: \u0647\u0646\u0631\u0645\u0646\u062f","description":"\u0646\u0634\u0631\u06cc\u0647 \u0647\u0646\u0631\u0647\u0627\u06cc \u062a\u0635\u0648\u06cc\u0631\u06cc","sameAs":["https://www.instagram.com/herfeh.honarmand/","https://twitter.com/herfehhonarmand","https://t.me/herfeh_honarmand","https://www.youtube.com/@herfeh.honarmand"]}}{"@context":"http://schema.org/","@type":"WebPage","@id":"herfeh-honarmand.com-webpage-english-articlesin-search-of-identity-rouin-pakbaz","url":"http://herfeh-honarmand.com/english-articles/in-search-of-identity-rouin-pakbaz/","name":"In Search of Identity / Rouin Pakbaz","about":"One can begin the assessment of modern and contemporary Iranian art by comparing this art with the general social and cultural conditions of Iran today.
