Abstract
The Shiite thought has had a revolutionary and changing effect on painting in contemporary Iran. And in three decades of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, i.e. from 1978 to 2008, this had a significant manifestation. The effect of the Shiite culture, especially the Ashura incident, on drawing in contemporary Iran is quite evident. Flags, weapons, roadsters, and the red and green colors in those paintings are all sign of stating events that are deeply rooted in the Shiite culture. The signs in the form of symbols are strong bearers of describing events and the Shiites’ being oppressed; and the revolution’s painting uses those signs and their concepts to communicate with the addressees through a figurative language. As to the content, the most important feature of the revolution’s painting is its use of the Shiite themes. In this article, while compiling and completing the opinions of the researchers on the content of the Shiite religious themes in three decades of revolution’s painting, we have studied the works pertaining to these years through an investigation and analysis of the content of the themes and the textual data in tables and diagrams. The investigations show that the content of the works have mostly been influenced by the Shiite doctrines and thoughts; and as for the technique and method of performance, those artworks have been created in a mixed form of realism and symbolism.
