Abstract
Iranian art is systematically presented for the first time in America in the current loan exhibition at Johns Hopkins University, since the exhibition at the Pennsylvanian Museum, concurrent with the First International Congress on Persian Art in 1926, did not attempt to cover the pre-Islamic periods. This collection, brought together by M. Georges Belanger de Batz, with the assistance of the American Institute for Iranian Art and Archaeology, on behalf of the Committee on Fine Arts under the chairmanship of Professor George Boas, pursuant to the aims of a grant from the Carnegie Corporation, begins with prehistoric pottery, and shows the development of the aesthetic genius on the Iranian plateau through all the major art forms down to the eighteenth century.
