I do not think there is much doubt about the creative talents and abilities of Mohasses as a painter. His paintings, such as his \u2018Minotaurs\u2019, are very sober and solid, resulting from artistic vision and strong execution. His works are, moreover, not duplications or imitations. An art expert would probably recognize his works without his signature. Even non-expert audiences like me will recognize the authenticity of his paintings and sculptures that remind us of his \u2018world\u2019. Hossein Zenderoodi, too, is a celebrated creative painter who has made his unique world. It is different from the world of Mohasses because of the symbols and signs that we Iranians find familiar. Its letters, curvatures, and abstractions are all components of our visual memory which he has rethought and recreated as canvas paintings. That is why just as much as works of Mohasses can seem exotic to Iranians unfamiliar with Western painting, pieces of Zenderoodi might seem peculiar and strange to a Westerner unaccustomed to the shapes in his art. Some kind of defamiliarization (ostranenie) happens here naturally under Western eyes while watching such works.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBahman Mohasses\n\n\n\nBahman Mohasses is a figure of great importance in the history of Iranian painting or, more precisely, in the history of the encountering of Iranian painters to modern Western art. But can his precious works find a place in a west-centered \u2018world art\u2019? The answer seems to be negative, as it has not occurred thus far. To the western eye, works of Mohasses are a collection of valuable pieces the likes of which they have seen plenty. How about the works of Zenderoodi? His works, and the works of others like him, at least seem possible to become contributions to the contemporary world art. One can imagine such works finding a place in the global art scene, thus gaining..."}{"@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-articlesiranian-identity-global-art-mohammad-mansour-hashemi","url":"http://herfeh-honarmand.com/english-articles/iranian-identity-global-art-mohammad-mansour-hashemi/","name":"From the Iranian Identity to the Global History; The Paths in front of Persian art","about":"Let us start the discussion by comparing two renowned Iranian painters of the contemporary era: Bahman Mohasses and Hossein Zenderoodi.
