TEHRAN – Tehran’s Ideh Gallery will be holding a retrospective of the painter and children’s book illustrator Parviz Kalantari on Friday.
Art researcher Tuka Maleki and art critic Hafez Rohani will review six decades of artistic activities of Kalantari, organizers have announced.
Kalantari will also be giving brief explanations about the procedures of his works, the different materials he uses, and his conceptual viewpoint toward tradition.
Born in 1939 in Zanjan, Kalantari’s works are an excellent depiction of the ambiance of Iran’s traditional architecture.
In addition, Kalantari has illustrated 26 children’s books. His works were also published in textbooks for primary schools in the 1970s.
His triptych painting entitled “Iranian City” was installed at the UN-HABITAT headquarters in Nairobi in October 2005 during the commemoration of World Habitat Day.
The session will be held at 4 pm in the gallery located at No. 26, 18th St., North Kheradmand, Karim Khan Ave.
