ZENDEROUDI Charles Hossein (Born in Teheran (Iran) in 1937. Naturalized French artist living in Paris) - [Calligraphic composition]. Gouache and ink on paper. Signed by the artist in the lower right corner of the composition. Good condition. The Saqqah-khaneh school of artists (also known as "Sagha Khaneh") drew inspiration from a wide variety of classical Persian sources; including cults, rituals and products of popular culture. The best known artists associated with this school are Parviz Tanavoli, Faramarz Pilaram, Massoud Arabshahi and Sadegh Tabrizi. One of the founders and main supporters was Charles Hossein Zenderoudi. Persian modernism was thus born in the 1960s with this movement strongly characterized by symbolism, which is defined by a combination of religious images and traditional decorative elements with modern painting techniques. The word "Saqqa-khaneh" originally refers to a type of public fountain shrine found in the old cities and villages of Iran. These sites are considered holy places: candles are often burned, green and black hangings are hung, while protective iron grates and calligraphic panels are engraved with decorative motifs and Quranic verses. Charles Hossein Zenderoudi, a painter as well as a sculptor, is considered one of the greatest Iranian artists of our time.31.8 x 25 cm for the subject. 41,5 x 31,7 cm for the sheet.
