Abstract
Today, by various and diverse approaches in the artistic critique and analysis, different aspects of sociological concepts and trends can be deduced from artistic works. Feminism and its different approaches can also be effective and successful in understanding and revealing some of the concepts related to the art. Feminist art in the contemporary world can have media function as a method and means for expressing the female-oriented demands and views. In the current society of Iran, painting as a collection of tendencies and different perspectives has female-oriented and feminist concepts in itself. This research, by studying the works of three painters (Shideh Tami, Saeed Rafiee Monfared, Zeinab Movahhed) seeks to follow represented position of the woman in the works and determined how each of these artists in her or his painting deals with the issue of woman, her role and her picture. The research is conducted by descriptive-analytical method. The method of collecting research data was field and library-documentary and questionnaire and interviews were used for this process. This study implies that every painter with a personal way was involved with the issue of woman in his/her work and each of them used this concept in their works in terms of their own thinking and personal attitude. The works of these painters have been avoided from a sexism view as far as possible; but the arrangement of this view is seen in the works of these painters i.e. Zeinab Movahhed, Saeed Rafiee Monfared and Shideh Tami.

Art can be presented as a form of creation and as a form of recognition; the latter is used more in the sociology of art
The sociology of painting is intended to provide sociological analysis of painting as a system, including: One can start with the creator of the work and the position he has in the community or from the consumers and users of any artwork and their distribution in the socio-economic hierarchy of the community, or from the institutions that have influenced the creation of the artwork or even from considering the institutions that the creator of the work can be found in their foundation
The statistical population of the study is based on the study of feminist tendencies in the contemporary painting of Iran that includes all contemporary painters who have used the role and image of woman in their works
Summary
Art can be presented as a form of creation and as a form of recognition; the latter is used more in the sociology of art. The feminists of the second half of 20th century fought to the “woman of picture” or woman as a reflection of imagination and tendency of a man and some of female artists were trying to provide a "feminine art". In these years, the new women's movement was formed, a movement whose goal was no longer merely a struggle against inequalities, but an attempt to show women's differences in the arena of art. The research wants to answer the question that: How far the painting of studied painters was successful in representing the actual role of women?
