Abstract
Although beauty and beauitful names of the God- are both the basis of every
artwork but umderstanding of the beauty is not the same in all human races.
In today west where in art is based on the artistic renaissance rules, perception of
the beauty is relyed on the humanistic norms of Eygpt, Greece and mere realism.
On the other hand, in today east specially Iran this concept is based on the Gnostic
and religious norms. Moreover realism offers its place to human and the nature
appearance.
There are two lines in the contemporary art of Iran which are always together. The
first one is belonged to western civilization in which can find all experimental
rules of there. This line is bare of the Iran-Islamic culture.
The 2nd line which tries to base its foundations on Iran-Islamic principles, has two
defferent appearances: a) mixed epiphany and b) pure form and epiphany.
What is very evident in the recent line is the gem of the Iran-Islamic art.
