Abstract

The modern painting of Iran can be considered as one of the most significant art trends in the history of Iran as well as a period of transition, change and painting creative work. One of the clear changes in the paintings of this era is the growing trend toward modern European art styles and the manner of making relationship with European styles. Although at times Persian artists have merely imitated the western artists, this movement is not depriving of precious art work. This study investigates on the modern Persian painting and cubism art style in Ziapour Art works. Considering the aim of the research, this is a fundamental research and with regard to the nature of the research, it is a historical, descriptive and analytical research. The results show that the creative method applied by Ziapour at creation of his new art style is an instance of creative misreading proposed by Bloom. He has tried not to be affected by the dominance of the cubism art style and has invented a new creative method to create art works by flexibility at the style, theme, visual elements and principles in order to avoid imitation and influence of cubism style.
