Original Recipe Text

The calligraphic form is colored, stretched, and twisted into circles using acrylic on canvas (p. 56).

Evidence

"His calligraphic roundel entitled MIUZ+SFKE (1972, acrylic on canvas, 195 x 195 cm) (see fig. A.3) is exemplary of the distorted calligraphic form he uses not to convey semantic meaning, but to engage the visual tradition of the word/image."

Remarks

Zenderoudi was part of the Saqqakhneh School of Iranian artists, which worked with objects closely connected to Iranian history and religious practice (p. 56). Saqqakhneh artists re-enchanted traditional forms like Persian miniatures and illuminated manuscripts with new uses of color and layering (p. 56).
