Abstract

Classical Persian poetry, when embodied in the oeuvre of the contemporary artists of Iran, was becoming for some a major source of artistic inspiration. The article analyzes the inner creative bond between classical Persian poets and present-day artists, exemplified by Hafez and the modern Iranian painter Aydin Aghdashloo, whose all canvases stem from poetry, and the best of them are considered among the most valued achievements of visual arts. Hafez’s verses were conducive to introducing surrealist style to Iranian portrait and miniature by the painter Aydin Aghdashloo, who has created thereby a new style of "crumpled miniature".
