        The” Man on a composite horse and elephant” Paintings of Safavid belong to the world- composite paintings class that the scholars have acknowledged for emerging and abundance of them in the 16th / 10th century. Despite the attractiveness, those works faced stagnation and changing concepts over the next following years. This research on the context of the theory of reflection attempts to explain the influence of society and the dominant ideology in the art works and analysis of the content of images and its adaptation to the Safavid society, the nature and function of the identity and function of the figurative compartments in those works and their role in society and the reflection of society on them. The most important achievements of this research are determining the present and absent groups in the community which is depicted in those works, extracting the main concept from encoding images including "Integrated and centralized governance" and "king as herder of ra’āyā", adjusting those concepts with the capabilities and defects of the ruling class ideology, having a critical look at the concepts and finally presenting reasons for the stagnation of their illustrations, such as reduction of the capacity of the early dynamic ideology and the wane of metaphors such as ”king as herder of ra’āyā”.

        Linear perspective provides a pattern to represent a space which relates to some of the rules of Vision Science. This type of perspective has become popular in Europe since 15th century on the basis of Ibn al- Haytham’s Vision Theory. According to a historical- Analytical research, the effects of this theory have been considered from two aspects: Firstly, the translation of the “Book of Optics” in Latin made it possible that European artists become familiar with Ibn al- Haytham’s Vision Theory. In this theory, he describes how image is created in the eye. Secondly, through transferring his dark room to Europe, the European artists were able to use it to transfer pictures exactly to the canvas. As a result of this acquaintance, linear perspective became prevalent in Europe. Moreover, it is technically and scientifically possible for artists to make pictures on the basis of the focus point of the observer, which is in fact his inverted vision cone.  Manuscript profile

        5 - The Representation of Architectural Space in Painting with a Layered Semiotic Approach (Case Study: Iran Darroudi artworks)

        Interdisciplinary studies linking art, philosophy, and theories of contemporary semiotics have opened a new path and vision to art explorations. The significance of meaning in artworks caused other disciplines to appear in art studies. This transformation implied that meaning in artworks is not an objective and evident component, requiring interpretation and analysis. Meaning can be transferred between different artistic media. Studying the relationship between architecture and painting is considered an essential interdisciplinary field of research. Architectural space is a media manifesting as a painting in its interaction with the artist.These studies have raised a profound understanding of the artwork's meaning. In addition, providing a scientific knowledge of art has made them well known. Moreover, there is a need for interdisciplinary comprehension of art with social and human approaches. The present article aims to examine the role of architectural space in the creation of paintings with an emphasis on interdisciplinary studies. The main question is, "considering painting a text entailing semiotic codes, what semantic approaches to architectural space can affect it through profound exploration of the spatial layers, and how can a painting be read? ".The general justification of this article is to explain and describe the relationship between architecture and other types of art, especially painting.Although architectural structures and spaces are a combination of applied and functional approaches, they can be studied as artworks to yield an interactive synergy between their aesthetic and semantic layers concerning other subcategories of art, such as painting. Moreover, in the next step, the paper discusses the meaning layers of the space in artists' minds. When painting, the artist detaches from the real world, reaching a clearer understanding of the mind's reality through an experimental journey.This mental projection involves new manifestations of spatial visualization within the image.The article used a qualitative approach to research based on an interdisciplinary study of architecture and painting. In the first section, spatial codes are embedded in different layers according to the space approach; then, a theoretical framework is introduced based on layered semiotics to read the spatial implications of the case studied.Given the apparent representation of architectural space in Iran Darroudi's artworks, we have selected her paintings (Everlasting Marriage; Steadfastness; Stupor of the Plain and Thirst of Desert) and collected primary data using a library-survey method.The results showed that the architectural space, transformed into a system of meaningful places for the artist, can be manifested in the painting as spatial codes. The painter expresses her idea of ​​the urban space in spatial signs in the form of isotopia, heterotopia, or utopia, which can be read in syntagmatic layers.In the textual and media layers, the physical reading of space is matched with the architectural typology method. In a principled correlation, spatial approaches are decoded in the code and text layer. Finally, spatial-phenomenological relations are identified from the painter's existential space in the intertextuality-coding layer. These may be read in textual, intertextuality, and coding layers, as well as semiotics, phenomenology, and typology. Manuscript profile

        After moving Armenians to Isfahan, Shah Abbas I ordered to build churches for them so that they would adhere to the urban life in Isfahan. These churches, which were initially formed with the help of Iranian architects, had an Iranian taste. Most of the researchers who have written about the churches of Isfahan's New Jolfa have relied on the fact that the architecture of Isfahan's churches is Iranian. The main goal of this article is to compare the paintings of Imamzadehs and churches in Isfahan, remained from late Qajar era, in terms of theme, structure, image and relationship with the environment. The research question is “what effect did the painting of churches have on the wall paintings of Imamzadehs in the late Qajar era?” This study is library and field-based to collect the data, descriptive-analytical and comparative in terms of methodology. It attempts to find the similarities and differences of the tone and shape of the wall paintings of the churches and imamzadehs of Isfahan as one of the manifestations of sacred art in terms of concept and expression according to the characteristics related to their roles. The findings of the research show that the subject of Imamzadeh's paintings are pictorial narratives of the favorite themes of Iranian Shia people. The blessed images of the Prophet Muhammad, the Imams, the visual narration of the Ashura incident, are all clear examples of the interests and beliefs of every Muslim who enters a place like Imamzadeh. The subject of the paintings on the walls of the New Jolfa churches in Isfahan is generally the sufferings of Christ and his relatives and other religious traditions mixed with people's beliefs. In the imamzadehs of Isfahan, the religious stories and sufferings of the imams have been depicted mixed with folk beliefs, and the composition, colors and icons have been influenced by the churches. The execution of painting and the work materials of the painters have been almost common in both. Despite the similarities, the painting of churches has been a state art in a sense, but none of the creators of imamzadeh wall paintings were related to the ruling class, and this issue is very influential in the execution and richness of the work.                            Manuscript profile

        The art of painting in Isfahan has a historical background dating back to cave dwellings in this region, playing a significant role in the evolution of Iranian painting and maintaining its structure throughout governmental changes. Isfahan's geographical location, situated in the center of Iran, has provided Iranian artists with the opportunity to engage with both Eastern and Western transformations. This characteristic, coupled with the migration and establishment of art universities in Iran, has had a profound impact on cultural and artistic relationships, leading to innovative movements in contemporary Isfahan painting. Drawing on the concept of hybridity and the third space, Homi Bhabha effectively describes the formation of this space in postcolonial critique and emphasizes its significance in generating new cultural and artistic interactions. One of the key factors contributing to the creation of such a space in contemporary Isfahan painting is the presence of migrant artists and graduates from art universities in other cities who have contributed to the emergence of a new visual space in Isfahan's art scene. This article aims to review the identity and formation of the third space in contemporary painting in Isfahan, with a focus on Homi Bhabha's theory. The central question of this research is: What impact have immigrant artists had on the reinterpretation of identity and the formation of the third space in Isfahan's contemporary painting? The research methodology employed is primarily a combination of a fundamental-applicative approach in terms of its objective and a descriptive-analytical approach in terms of its nature. The sampling method utilized is purposeful, involving the selection of four artists who have studied both in Tehran and in universities and schools in Isfahan, particularly in the field of painting. The research findings demonstrate that immigrant artists in Isfahan have successfully contributed to the creation of a new intercultural space within the city, closely aligning with Homi Bhabha's conceptualization of the third space.

        Mysticism entails insight in the Absolute, insight in his names, traits, and expressions. All names of Allah, such as Jamil, Badie,  Mosavar, etc. are tied with art and aesthetics. Color is the expression of pluralism in unity. Light, per se, is a symbol of unity but it is embodied by color and color acts as a media for expression and emergence of light. Colors signify a specific meaning in the realm of art. For instance, green implies a divine mystical state but white is the symbol of Absoluteness. Goethic architecture seeks to create mysterious spaces through a combination of lights, shadows, and bright colors, so that the sacredness of that space is immadiately perceived. Present study attempts to examine the application of light and color in Goethic architecture and paintings. It is of descriptive-analytical type. Data is gathered through inductive reasoning and librarian method. Research findings show that Goethic architecture and painting imbued with religious concepts makes an attempt to embody God embeded in mysterious spaces through a combination of lights and colors.

        The artistic developments of the early 20th century in art history are generally called "Expressionist", which is the beginning and decline of this movement between 1910 and 1925. Expressionism is a kind of exaggeration in colors and shapes, a way free from naturalism that wanted to express emotional states as clearly and explicitly as possible. The main goal of this school was to show human emotions, especially fear, hatred, love, and anxiety, in which the artist uses strong colors, crooked shapes, and rough lines to induce her intense emotions. Expressionism is not only one of the most important and influential currents in today's societies; Rather, it is a global movement that includes various fields such as literature, philosophy, social and political sciences, architecture, music, painting, and cinema. Since painting and architecture as two identical categories have been continuously present throughout history in sync with each other and influenced by each other, naturally, the influence of these two arts from the expressionism movement can be the goal of this research. In this research, the method of collecting information from the library and field type and the interpretation-historical method will be used which, historical interpretation is a process during which past events are described, analyzed, evaluated, explained, and the researcher bases interpretation on primary [primary] and secondary [scientific] historical sources, and finally, evidence, contexts, perspectives, and reference frames are analyzed. the expressionism movement in the Pahlavi period is investigated, which also asks the question, what is the effect of the art movement of expressionism on the architecture and painting of the Pahlavi period. The answer is: which itself leads to the emergence of the common components of expressionist painting and architecture of that period, and from the commonality of the two, it explains the framework of intellectual developments in that period for the reader; This topic itself can be influential in connecting modernist paintings and contemporary architecture of the Pahlavi period. The theoretical and formal principles of this architectural style are based on the two foundations of the modern era and the place - the land of Iran - these two fundamental pillars are shown parallel to each other in the physical composition of the building. Although modern art is often referred to as works produced in a certain period in Europe and the United States, art historians have tried to find the concept of "new" and "contemporary" art in works from other parts of the world. And it should be noted that "modern art" and "contemporary art" are not synonymous. In the 20th century, Iranian society saw many changes from a political and social point of view, and these changes can be seen among Iranian artists in the form of works that were different from traditional Iranian paintings. Modernization in Iranian society in this period led artists to present results that, although they were linked to Iran's tradition and past, contained new forms and methods experienced by modernist European and American artists. The formation of the pioneers of modern art did not only mean the victory of the supporters of modernism against their opponents, but it was also able to provide positive aspects for Iranian art in the international arena. Although modernism is a fluid concept, the moment of its birth is somewhat clear, but the moment of its decline is unclear. The results of the research show that what is known as expressionist painting in Iran does not seem to be a superficial understanding of the essence of expressionist painting; In Iranian examples, where architectural spaces were created to have social and cultural effects with the help of painting, Imitation can be seen in the first and second generation of modernist Iranian painters Also, architectural space creation in Iranian paintings that expressionist painters include two divisions in terms of architectural space creation, wanted or not. The first group includes painters who depend on form in all painting components, and the second group includes painters who imitated other painters. However, more than half a century has passed since the official beginning of the modern art movement in Iran. A movement that tried to harmonize with world art and went through many hardships and has been continued by contemporary artists. Manuscript profile

        Looking at the historical course of the ruling form, we come to the conclusion that this profession has been paid more attention in religious matters such as idolatry than in Islamic jurisprudence. Painting and sculpture need to be re-read in the present age. Regarding the sculpture and painting of lifeless images, there is no difference between the jurists in the permission to create and maintain them; however, some jurists consider it haram to take pictures and images of living beings, as well as the existing sculpture and statue of living beings.What is important is to discuss  the reasons forthis view. After discussing the arguments of those who believe in sanctity, it became clear that there is no explicit verse in the Holy Quran about sanctity, and both the reasons for consensus and the news are incomplete, because in short, the mentioned consensus is evidence-based and unreliable.

        Without exaggeration, the phenomenon of the Islamic Revolution in 1978 has been one of the most important factors affecting the biological field of Iranian society. Mural painting grew and expanded as a boiling point of politics with the public sphere at the time of the revolution. This period is like a turning point in the political history of Iran, the recognition of which can be the key to understanding how contemporary political and social currents are formed. Due to the relevance of the subject and the extraordinary ability of Laclau and Mouffe's theory of discourse in the analysis of socio-political affairs and phenomena, the researcher has chosen this theory as his theoretical and methodological framework, and the innovation of such research is that by using This theory, by basing the murals in the context of their emergence as texts that are the products of discourse, has sought to answer the question of how the political discourses of the revolution evolved into the stabilizing discourse of war and then according to each The period of rule of various signs has been added or reduced to the central sign of the revolution. In this regard, how the socio-political developments of the revolution and post-revolution in the murals have been the subject of this research. Examining and analyzing the central signs in the forty years of the establishment of the Islamic Republic, it became clear that the discourse of the revolution during the transition to the discourse of war and then the transition to the period of stabilization under the influence of sociology-political factors and shifting power relations with fundamental changes in world representation.

        To read a text, you need previous and contemporary texts, and no text is independent of its predecessors. Since every work of art is a text, a painting can also be considered a text. Due to the appropriateness of Gerard Genet's intertextual theory with the subject, it has been used as a theoretical framework. The painting of the Holy Defense has its own semantic and aesthetic system that is different from each other. Tastes both in the production and in the acceptance of works of art change depending on the social transformation that has taken place in terms of the structural nature of the work under study. This article intends to answer the questions of how the painting of the Holy Defense was able to represent this subject through text and image and convey it to the audience and how to describe it in the form of aesthetics. The method is fundamental in terms of purpose and based on historical, descriptive and analytical methods in terms of nature. Considering the study of sacred defense paintings and semantics and the reproduction of the sacred concept of war by paintings (texts) and how the concept of sacred warfare is reproduced by images and their role in the reproduction and desecration of war is presented as the final result.

        Having a profound effect on the process of the formation of post-war currents, the painting of war has emerged in a particular discourse context. In this paper, both text and context are studied. Due to the exceptional subject matter and ability of Laclau and Chantal Mouffe’s theory of discourse in explaining all socio-political phenomena, this theory has been considered as a theoretical framework and the paintings of holy defense and their representations of war and the production of new discourse have been discussed. Since paintings are an important source of representation of the state of war, a number of artists' works during the holy defense were subsequently analyzed by discourse and read text and context through selected samples of war and postwar paintings. The war and post-war paintings constitute this research data, and several samples are selected from. The selection was based on discourse analysis and textual analysis and purposive sampling was used to choose the statistical society. The following research indicates that the concepts of guardianship, martyrdom, martyr, defense, resistance, jihad, etc. in Iranian culture mixed with Islamic culture have been considered sacred in the war and reestablished by discourse. Referring to these concepts and elements, the mythical symbols in the images, reestablishing of the concept “holy”, and the central signification of some of the key artists’ works in these two periods became apparent in this research.

        The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of the Islamic Revolution on contemporary Iranian painting. Art as a part of human life has always undergone changes.

This research is an attempt to identify the various influential factors whose origins in politics in the context of contemporary Iranian history and at specific points in time that have created artistic movements. According to the findings of the present study, it can be said that what has been the focus of art throughout the history of this field is the social factors, and these social factors are more influenced by political developments and politicians are the main actors in this scene. . Thus, the Islamic Revolution has influenced the contemporary factors of the above mentioned contemporary painting in Iran. As you can see, this effect is quite evident in the works created. The turning point of the influence of the Islamic Revolution on contemporary paintings is the imposing war that had all the paintings and paintings created with the colors and scents of the goals of the revolution.

        This research seeks to achieve a correct analysis with the observation and experience of the author's body to understand the gender difference in elementary school students' behavior and perception of the concept of home and family in their drawings. In order to see how the child understands the existence of himself and his family inside the home. Therefore, like a native among the natives, the author tried to be present among the primary school students and in addition, he examined their behavior. The gender differentiation of their perception while drawing children's drawings has been explored. In this study, the statistical population was 172 children in elementary school, 86 boys and 86 girls. The data has been presented and analyzed with ethnographic narratives in the form of field note-comment anthology units, and then by analyzing the content of the students' paintings, we identified the parameters of their gender perception and the level of accuracy in drawing each gender. We analyzed the parameters. The results are in accordance with the previous studies on the gender difference in perception and show that children have a correct understanding of size, age, proportions and facts, and girls, unlike boys, pay attention to the beauty of appearance, details of clothes, and boys are more realistic in their drawings. They turn and the vehicle is seen in their drawings.
