Abstract

Artwork interpretation in a simple word is an explanation of the meaning of art. The audiences play an important role in art and forms one of the three vertices of artwork triangle: artist, artwork and audience. If we consider artwork as a process, the audiences are the outcome of the work and is the one that created for and to be seen by them. Therefore, feedbacks or interpretations and readings of them have an important place in art critique. Iran's miniatures in different eras have experienced a variety of audiences from kings to ordinary people that affect this art. Therefore, it is expected that different kinds of interpretations have been observed. The research carried out through descriptive-analytical method, by comparing old and contemporary Iranian epic miniatures seeking to answer the question of what are the kinds of artwork interpretation in old and contemporary Iranian epic miniatures? The findings of this research shows that old paintings have created interpretations based on the author's intention and contemporary painting with a hermeneutical approach made multiple interpretations of the artworks.

The concept of the audience at first was the sum of simultaneous recipients at the end of the linear transmission of information process.

Adding bright shadows to the faces of his images and using perspective, Tajvidi changed the way of painting. Behzad returned the painting to his own direction and cleared the effects of Russian and foreign works from Iranian painting (Pakbaz, 2008: 577-601) During these periods, many changes occurred in Iran’s art, one of the most important of which was the change of the audience(s).
