Artistic theory in the “West” has had a controvertial role through the course of 20th century, mostly based on philosophical and psychological theories rather than on esthetiques or art practice per se. the consequence: visual and esthetique principals have been replaced by ideological manifestos and artists’ statements. Whilst, during the same period art critics in Iran have been doing a lot of effort to establish and develop an artistic theory based on the dramatic dichotomy of the Modern and traditional. This talk aims to open a new discussion based on concentrating on a new reading of the history of arts in Iran. And will pay attention to the emergence of a new flourishing period of art practice in Iran today.
