Farshchian Paintings

Wednesday, December 03rd, 2008 | Author: admin

I have to say one my favourite painter of Iran is Mahmoud Farshchian. When I went to Iran this year I really wanted to go to his museum in Saad Abad Castle. It was amazing exhibition with all his paintings, I like his painting because it is unique and each individual of them tells a story and if you look closely you never see a line ending in his paintings, they all disappear in one another.

Mahmoud Farshchian was born in Isfahan in year 1929. His father had a affection for arts and young Mahmoud showed an interest in studying art quite early in his life, after receiving a diploma for the Fine Arts from Isfahan High School he left for Europe where he studied the works of the great Western masters.

Ostad Mahmoud Farshchian is the founder of his own school in Iranian painting, which adheres to classical from while making use of new techniques. He has played a decisive role in introducing Iranian art yo the international art scene. He has been invited to speak and exhibit at various universities and art exhibitions. Currently Ostad Farshchian resides in New York.
