At

Dr.

Namvar
Motlaq
made a
speech:
"The
Academy
of Arts
has set
to
consider
various
Iranian
art
schools
and has
held
several
conferences.
According
to our
historical
process,
we
reached
to the
point of
considering
Isfahan
school.
To
accomplish
the
task, we
had set
a time
schedule
in 2005,
before
Isfahan
was
appointed
as the
culture
of
Islamic
world.
As the
result
of such
a
felicitous
concurrence,
we opted
for a
more
extensive
and
elaborate
conference
comprised
of eight
distinctive
congresses:
music,
painting,
architecture
and town
planning,
literature,
handicrafts,
dramatic
arts,
calligraphy,
philosophy
and
wisdom,"
he said.
Next an
Iranian
painter
and art
scholar,
Dr.
Akbar
Tajvidi
expressed
his
pleasure
of
holding
the
conference
in
Isfahan
and gave
a short
lecture
on the
importance
of line
and
qalam-giri
in
Isfahan
Painting
School.
"The
painting
art is
comprised
of line,
color
and
plane.
In some
schools
the
priority
is given
to color
and in
some
others
to line.
The line
in
Iranian
painting
include
some
aspects
which
termed
by
painters
as
qalam-giri.
The
emotions
are
expressed
by
colors
and
ideas by
lines.
In
Isfahan
of
Safavid
era a
philosophy
and
wisdom
school
was
prevalent
due to
the
presence
of
prominent
philosophers
and
thinkers
like
Mir-Damad
and Mir-
Fenderesky
and such
school
of
thinking
significantly
influenced
the arts
of that
era,"
he
stated.
Following
the
session,
the
governor
of
Isfahan,
Eng.
Bakhtiari
in a
note
accounted
for
Isfahan
and the
cultural-artistic
background
of this
historical
city,
"Isfahan
is as
ancient
as
Iranian
history.
Isfahan
is not
simply a
city or
history
but is a
city of
history.
There
are
14400
touristy
attractions
in
Isfahan
which
mostly
have
also the
historical
attractions.
More
than
1150
registered
historical
sites in
Isfahan
have
turned
it to a
cultural-artistic
treasure,"
he said.
The
opening
ceremony
of
Isfahan
School
Conference
came to
an end
with

of
Prophet
Muhammad
[Peace
be Upon
Him]). |
