Abstract :

Artistshavelongbeen familiarwith theeffects of colorsand Iranianarchitecture, and stainedtileshave fixedthis link. Butincontemporary era scientific discoveriesand findings haveshaken up the nature of institutionalized perceptionand symbols; and contemporarypsychologyprovidesa new understandingofcolors. These differencesare notextensive, because the sense of innate perception of human beings cannot easily be changed. This process can well be analyzed in the poems of Persian language poets. Color and its analysis have less been paid attention to in thepoetryof Khwaja Hafiz. The present paper has studied semiotics, aesthetics, psychology, social impact of colors, and the link among the color, the sound and the nature in the poetry of Hafiz. This study shows that in the field of color and nature Hafiz encounters with the concept of the nature subjectively. In his poems Hafiz weaves a coherent network of colors into each other with the help of different meanings of the word “color” and in the shadowed fitness opacity. In the field of semiotics, turquoise color, which is also are ligious symbol, is highlighted in his poems. And also, a social, political, and mystical effect of black color is not hidden from the eyes of Hafiz.
