Abstract
From several decades before the Islamic revolution to some years later, Iranian arts went through some significant transformations including, an attention to and alignment with the main changes in western art trends especially the art modernism. Additionally, an attempt to keep the national and traditional themes and motifs along with an effort to develop them altogether resulted in a movement called by analysts and critics as "the modern art of Iran".
Theoretical debates have an important role in the world of art especially in the modern era so that one of the main aspects of artistic modernism in west is its transformed and integrated epistemological and theoretical foundations leading to significant effects on the creation and continuity of this movement in west.
Studying theoretical debates about the Iranian new movement of art shows a kind of confusion caused by misreading and misunderstanding of modern art foundations of west.
The book'' Birth of Iranian Modernism" , a collection of articles and theoretical debates on Iranian modern art, can be considered as an comprehensive work in covering a considerable number of artists belongings to this movement.
Furthermore, the writer of the book discusses subjects like local modernism national and Iranian modernism and I have tried to critically evaluate them. However, the aim of this study is focused on critical reading of this book as the researchers believe it can be a sign of theoretical confusion dominating theoretical structure of the new Iranian art movement.
The current investigation is based on " Traveling Theory" in which Edward Said discusses the traveling way map of a theory from its origin to the destination and the changes made to it through this journey. According to this theory, the writers study critically and also theoretically the relationship of west modernism and the Iranian new art movement through a cultural journey.
The necessity and importance of the present research is due to the fact that until now the theoretical issues related to the flow of modern art in Iran have not been seriously considered. Dealing with these issues and revealing them through a critical reading of the texts of this field can strengthen the analytical and critical support of this movement and correct some of the errors and even the plagues that have afflicted today's art. The aim of the current research is to fill a part of the analytical and critical void in the current situation, which can help to overcome this situation and move towards artistic creation and creativity.
Research questions:
1_ Have theoretical foundations of modernism travelled to Iran along with modernism movement itself and consequently formed adequate discussions and effected iranian modern movement?
2_ what misunderstandings have occurred in theoretical foundations of modernism in Iran and how they caused the theoretical confusions in Iranian modern movement?
Research method:
The present research is a basic descriptive investigation. The data collection method is library_ documentary based. The sample population is the book" Birth of Iranian Modernism" selected as a case study in a purposive sampling.
I have described different parts of the book( " Birth of Iranian Modernism "), sorting out and qualitatively analyzing them and finally determining the relationship between the theoretical discussion of Iranian modern art movement and the foundational theories of art modernism in west according to the" Traveling Theory" of Edward Said.
At the end the relation of the debates in origin and the destination of the theory is evaluated.
The research results show that there are some shortages and weaknesses regarding the traveling of modernism theories, of which some weaknesses are specially critical ones and also there exist different faults, misunderstandings and confusions of analysis in the destination country.
The faults are categorized into four categories: the fault of a lack of methodological attention to the concepts and ignoring the social backgrounds of styles in western modern art, the fault of looking for formal modernism, the fault of pseudo_ contemporary thinking and trying to construct a local modernism based on retrospection. These faults are symptoms of a theoretically confusion dominating the atmosphere.
