He began to teach painting in high school in the 1950s, before entering the university in 1958. His early works were with watercolor, but as of 1959, soon after entering college, he began oil painting and drawing. He initiated a particular style in Persian painting, influenced by Coffee House painting, iconography, and traditional Iranian portrait painting, following the Qajar tradition a mixture of a kind of surrealism, influenced by the art of stained glass. He did his early works in graphics and illustration. He is among the first individuals involved in the Centre for the Intellectual Development of Children and the Youth, and was among the founders of the Film Animation department of this institute.

After the Iranian Revolution, Sadeghi seriously pursued painting. In 1989 he founded Sabz Gallery, which was actively and continuously exhibiting the works of Iranian painters until 2003. In 2011 His permanent works space and atelier established that continuously showcases works belonging to different periods of Sadeghi'slong professional life.

Sadeghi has been artistically active in the past 60 years. His style is a Persian surrealism, based on Iranian forms and compositions of traditional paintings, the use of Iranian iconography, and the use of Persian cultural motifs, signs and myths, full of movement and action, in prominent and genuine

oil colors, in large frames, very personal, reminiscent of epic traditional Persian paintings and illustrations.

In his paintings, Ali Akbar Sadeghidraws on the traditions of Persian art but adds to them a surreal edge. Sadeghi inspiration from the cultural heritage of Iran is not just aesthetic; the presence of Persian sagas and legends, epic poems and philosophies, and even the teachings of Gnosticism loom large in his work. While Sadeghihas been motivated by the varied artistic forms and schools of thought of his country, his productions have links to the

automatic art of Max Ernst and De Chirico, among others

Diana Vachierwas walking by a NYC art gallery in1997 when she was immediately drawn to a painting on display in the window. That painting was the famous image "American Gothic" by artist Grant Wood-only it wasn't a copy of the original painting.Instead, Diana saw this iconic image covered with rich, vibrant colorsand embellished details. "It was absolutely magnificent," Diana Vachier recalls. Upon closer look, she saw chat the back of the painting had a stamp by the Wood Estate that gave the artist Steve Alan Kaufman (SAK) permission to use this famous image to paint a new interpretation."The colors just popped off the canvas, and gave this recogniz able image a new life that was so appealing to me," she said."This creative and brilliant artist Steve Kaufman was making art of art.The curator showed Diana two additional pieces that Steve Kaufman painted.

One was a Marilyn Monroe, and the other was Mozart. Diana asked if there were more, and the curator answered that he had many, but they sold within a week of the opening of the show."I knew then that this Steve Kaufman was an important artist," Diana remembers.Former assistant to Andy Warhol, Steve Kaufman is known for painting dozens of celebrities, iconic images and brands including Coca Cola, various currency..)',historic figures ,several U.S. presidents, and about 40 world leaders. His paintings have been exhibited in numerous museums worldwide, and at least two presidential libraries.

"Not only was Steve a brilliant artist that flowed with creativity, but also he was a very kind man with a big heart and an amazingly funny sense of humor," Diana said. "He opened up many windows for me to view the world differently. His kindness and generosity was very contagious."

Oscar M. Domnguez(January 3, 1906 December 31, 1957) was a Spanish surrealist painter. Born in San Cristbal de La Laguna on the island of Tenerife, on the Canary Islands Spain, Domnguez spent his youth with his grandmother in Tacoronte and devoted himself to painting at a young age after suffering a serious illness which affected his growth and caused a progressive deformation of his facial bone frame and limbs.

He went to Paris at 21 where he first worked for his father in the central market of Les Halles, and spent his nights diving in cabarets. He then frequented some art schools, and visited galleries and museums.

Domnguez was rapidly attracted by avant-garde painters, notably Yves Tanguy and Pablo Picasso, whose influences were visible in his first works. At 25 he painted a self-portrait full of premonition as he showed himself with a deformed hand and with the veins of his arm cut. He chose to kill himself 27 years later by cutting his veins.

In 1933 Domnguez met Andr Breton, a theoretician of Surrealism, and Paul luard, known as the poet of this movement, and took part a year later in the Surrealist exhibition held in Copenhagen and those of London and Tenerife in 1936. He took up the Russian-invented technique of decalcomania in 1936, using gouache spread thinly on a sheet of paper or other surface (glass has been used), which is then pressed onto another surface such as a canvas.

His 1937 oil painting The Infernal Machine sold for 2 770 000 FF (US $ 404,375) on June 8, 2000 at Drouot-Montaigne in Paris.

His 1933 oil painting Roma's portrait sold for 902,500 GBP (US $ 1,469,270) on Feb. 4th. 2014 at CHRISTIE'S in London.In 1952 he started an affair with Marie-Laure de Noailles, who called him "poochie".Domnguez committed suicide December 31, 1957, by slitting his wrists in the bath.

Ahmad Shamlooalso known under hispen name A. Bamdad(November 24, 1925 July 23, 2000) was a Persian poet,writer, and journalist. Shamlouwas arguably the most influential poet of modern Iran. His initial poetry was influenced by and in the tradition of NimaYoushij. Shamlou's poetry is complex, yet his imagery, which contributes significantly to the intensity of his poems, is simple. As the base, he uses the traditional imagery familiar to his Iranian audience through the works of Persian masters like Hafiz and Omar Khayym. For infrastructure and impact, he uses a kind of everydayimagery in which personified oxymoronic elements are spiked with an unreal combination of the abstractand the concrete thus far unprecedented in Persian poetry, which distressed some of the admirers of more traditional poetry.

Shamlou has translated extensively from French to Persian and his own works are also translated into a number of languages. He has also written a number of plays, edited the works of major classical Persian poets, especially Hafiz. His thirteen-volume Ketab-e Koucheh (The Book of Alley) is a major contribution in understanding the Iranian folklore beliefs and language. He also wrote fiction and Screenplays, contributing to childrens literature, and journalism.

16

Early lifeAhmad Shamlou was born to Haydar Shamlou and Kowkab Araqi on November 24, 1925 in Tehran to an army family. Ahmad was the second child and the only son in a family of six children. In the manner of many children who grow up in families with military parents, he received his early education in various towns, including Khash and Zahedan in the southeast of Iran, and Mashhad in the northeast,and Rasht in the north. Shamlou'schildhood and adolescent were neither privileged nor easy and home was not an environment that could foster his sensitivities and he often found solace in solitude. Moving with his family from one town to the next proved a hurdle to shamlou's education. By 1941, his high school education still incomplete, he left Birjand for Tehran. He intended to attend the German-established Tehran Technical School, one of the best secondary schools of that period and learn the German language.

He was admitted to this school on the condition that he be demoted two years. Soon in 1942, he and the rest of the family once again left Tehran to move for Gorgan. In 1945, he made a final attempt at completing his high school degree in Urumieh, but he failed. At age 29, following the fall of Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddeq, Shamlu was arrested for being a member of the communist TudehParty of Iran and imprisoned for more than one Shamlou's debut work, Forgotten Songs , was a collection of classical and modern poetry which was published in 1947 with an introduction of EbrahimDilmaghanian. In 1948, he started to write in a literary monthly called Sokhan-no. Two years later his first short story The Woman Behind the Brass Door was published. His second collection of poems Manifesto , was published in 1951. He showed inclinations toward Socialist ideology. He got a job in the Hungarian embassy as their cultural advisor.

17

His third collection of poems, Metals and Sense (1952), was banned and destroyed by the police. His translations of Gold In Dirt, by Sigmund Motritz, and the voluminous novel The Heartless Man's Sons by Mr Jkai, together with all data gathered for his work on the colloquial culture of urban Iranian life (to be known as The Book Of Alley) were also confiscated and destroyed. In 1954 he was jailed for 14 months. in 1955 he translated and published three novels by European writers. He became the editor-in-chief of Bamshad literary magazine in 1956yearPersonal lifeAhmad Shamlou writingShamlou was married three times. In 1947, he married AshrafIsslamiya (d. 1978) and together they had three sons and a daughter: Siavash Shamlou, (19482009), Sirous Shamlou, SamanShamlou, Saghi Shamlou. They divorced in 1957 after several years of conflict and long separation. His second marriage to Tusi HayeriMazandarani (d. 1992) who was fourteen years older than Shamlou, ended in divorce in 1963 after four

years of marriage.He met Aida Sarkisian in the spring of 1962 and they were married two years later in 1964. Aida came from an Armenian-Iranian family who lived in the same neighborhood as Shamlou. Her Christian family objected to the marriage on the basis of the Islamic background of Shamlou's family. Moreover, Shamlou was older, and had been divorced twice. She became an instrumental figure in Shamlou'slife and they remained together until his death in 2000. Her name appears in many of his later poems. She currently lives in Karaj.

In different periods of time art and corporate world have had a tight communication and a effective interaction on each other. In this work the antique Greek pottery is a symbol of the western and I have changed the symbol and meaning of the potter's tale by replacing a coca-cola bottle between the two soldiers instead of the original image and the surprise looks of the soldiers for what they have found is incredibly odd in their own century. Under the pottery using a symbol of Iranian miniature for representing the westerns and replacing the logo of coca-cola instead of the Iranian calligraphy I have tried to show the effect of the corporate world on art and culture .The deep effect of these corporate world on the life of people is shown using the ancient pottery and the crumpled paper containing the picture of a miniature.

Qahveh Khanehei Painting (Tea House style of painting)oil painting on canvas, Qajar period.Q ahveh Khanehei painting is an Iranian painting style combined with European techniques (oil and color on wall and convass). It was about eighty years ago that this method was formed among laypeople. The characteristic of this art is its popularity and distance from court arts. Unknown artists who had some experiencein painting on tiles, were influenced by the atmosphere and ambience of Qahveh-Khanehs , along with Shahnameh-Khani(reading verses from Shahnameh) endeavoured to create simple and beatiful views on the walls of Qahveh Khanehand on cloths. Though they did not have any academic instructions, these artists succeeded to occupy a place in Iranian artistic history for themselves. For its presence in narrations and Shamayel gardani(carrying the icons) Qahveh Khanehei painting may be regarded a part of Iranian painting arts. And on other hand due to its distance

from painting features it may be considered among visual arts. But, prior to illustration of this traditional and true Iranian art, we should acquire knowledge about Qahneh Khanehs . These places with their old history have been the keeper of our old traditions, thoughts and tastes. In QahvehKhanehs the narrators of Shahnameh told about natioanlstories with much enthusiasm. Therefore, in the course of long centuries, QahvehKhanehs took many characteristics, which are important for their extensive contact with people. In fact QahvehKhanehs of old days played the role of today mass media. This role had its due rules and traditions, one of which being QahvehKhane painting.

22

In this style of painting, one can easily detect some elements of Miniature painting. As narration of stories in its climax incline towards poetry, the paintings of QahvehKhaneh some times tend to delicateness of miniature.

These are not much records concerning the history of this national art, because in its present form, it has been current since eighty years ago. But remaining paintings and plaster moulding indicate that some kind of this art existed in 18th and 19th centuries. For example the paintings on tiles of Chehel Sotun Palace in Esphahanhave been worked under Shah Abbass II and Nader, of course most of theme are Shabih Sazi (dramatic) and they are inspired by feasts, while Qahveh Khanehei painting is purely imaginary and the painter does not have any model and what he draws is merely that which goes in his mind.

Observing the present evidences he draws an imaginary picture of, for example, Karbala desert, Ashuraepic, and Resurrection day and some epical pictures which indicate

the imagination and enthusiasm of painting.

23

Qahveh Khanehei painting which is called Imaginary painting by many people, is an art with its recognized principles. Its main feature is retaining the genuinenes of portraits, in a way that even in dealing scenes of feasts or epics, the painter makes his outmost effort to paint the faces. This feature is due to the fact that state and motion are limited in this type of painting. In each painting the faces convey the subject intended by painter to onlookers. The painter of this style is an earnest narrator who consciously or unconsciously represents the protagonists or antagonists with due emotions

towards them. For example in Rostam and Sohrab, Rostams face occupies a large place in the painting and this shows the painters love of Rostam. In a religious painting the face of enemies and vicious people are as ugly as possible.

In Qahveh Khanehei painting there is no limitation of subject and the painters hands are free to draw whatever he desires. Due to this reason, no painting could be ever considered a criterion for other works. In general one may devidethe subjects into three groups: religious, epic, feast and amorous paintings.

11 key points to know to properly promote your ARTStart with a definitionAccording to the CNRTL, the artistis the one who practices a fine art and a craftsman who excels in his work, which has acquired a technique, control of implementation, know-how enabling it to reproduce ably a model or even invent anew style.

However, the artist is more complex than that. Indeed, the technique is not sufficient for a man to be an artist. The artist isthe author, the designer of a universe, a creation of its own, a scientist, an inventor, a thinker.The work, for it to be successful should cause a feeling, a positive emotion or completely the opposite.There are different types of artists:the masters of aesthetics, painters style and academic talent.conceptual artists, constantly seeking novelty in the use of the material, the support, how to get a message ... They experience the art.

the artists involved, those for whom art is a way to express themselves, to denounce, decry.without forgetting the talent of course that even with few resources may be surprised by their approach to art and their growing talent1 . "THE" golden rule: know how to communicate with your art!The love of art is unconditional and pure. However, from the moment it is in the market, it becomes a mercantile product like any other and to quote Warhol "Making money is art , working is art and good business is the best art". Or, controlled communication is almost assured a sale! Moreover, the more you communicate, the more you come to understand your target customer. More you close in your target, you will know more precisely how to respond to its request.

25

2 .The status of professional artistYou have to remove the head ofthe artist's image to the star Jeff Koons or so bohemian how Van Gogh bartering his paintingsagainst a hot meal. The 21st century offers professional artists the opportunity to be surrounded and supported by organizations working for their 'integration' to society; the most famous being the House of Artists. Which organizes a service of free specialist legal advice on the law of artists.The contribution of its members allow the creation of a welfare background coming to the aid of artists in large financial and professional difficulties.The AGESSA (Association for the Social Security Management of Authors) meanwhile, collects social security contributions of artists to the original literary, dramatic, musical, choreographic, audiovisual, photographic and cinematographic.

3.The artist's interlocutorsThe profession of artist and art dealer are completely separate! So it is better for the artist to be guided by the advice of relevant experts the art market such as curators, gallery owners, art historians, auctioneers even collectors knowledgeable and obviously artists with more experience! Every artist has an audience, so a supporter! Although tastes and colours do not discuss, there is no artist on earth whose work does not appeal unanimously. There are different ways for an artist to be supported:sponsorshipSponsorship is one of the oldest ways to support artistic creation. The word comes to us from Caius Cilnius Maecenas, patron of arts and letters in ancient Rome. Today however, the patron means a person or entity that supports its influence or its financial resources is a cultural project.

26

For the little history, the Mediciare known to have supported the artists of their time including Michelangelo figure. In our time, the "savvy" of this type of aid in the creation are mostly the Americans, who also adore the French heritage and its artists!The protection and support of the arts and letter is a matter with which French dont kid with! Indeed, already in theMiddle Ages, people had an obligation to encourage. Louis XIV said the patron king is the first monarch to support art. Following the French Revolution, the first cultural institutions appear as the National Archives, the National Library of France or the Museum Arts Centre. It will still wait for the 20th century and the Popular Front led by Lon Blum appear to see the financial and administrative intervention of the state and the idea of democratization of culture. However, it is Jeanne Lawrence, Malraux and of course Jack Lang that artists today have to say thank you for their contributions in the field of culture and arts.

Indeed, aid implemented by the state are numerous: municipal aid, aid DRAC (Regional Direction of Cultural Affairs), the FRAC (Regional Contemporary Art Fund), the European nursery for young artists, Fondation de France , the European Centre of Contemporary Artistic Events. Crow funding is the English term for crowd funding. This simply involves the financial participation of a large number of people in the artist's project.5. Set the price of your workIn order to set the price of your work, you must take into account the following factors: the cost of materials (mediums, tools, paints, materials), quality of the media you are working and materials, dimensions, transportation, originality of production, the scarcity of work, popularity, won competitions and awards, commissions, the price of similar artists, the course of the art market, supplements (frames , glass, stone, ...).

27

6. Expose galleryExhibit gallery is the first instinct of an artist to sell your art. Choose the right gallery for choosing your gallery is choosing a business partner. As in love and friendship, the current must go well and you have to share a similar artistic line with the gallery. So you must clearly identify your needs and ensure that the contract is in agreement with the latter. A true gallery is committed and has the element of risk! However, note that the gallery is remunerated ona commission ranging from20 to 70% per work sold in different countries, the reputation of the gallery, the place it occupies in the market. This commission allows the gallery to pay the shipping cost of the works, the production of a press kit, the printing costs engendered by organizing a vernissage and an exhibition, participation fairs shows Regarding the choice of the gallery, as stated, this is a matterof taste and artistic preferences. However, it is important to know that a good gallery, regardless of artistic orientation has generally

between ,ten to fifteen artists, hoping that you are one of them!7. Successful exhibitionIf unfortunately you are not the proud collaborator and protected by a gallery, know that the ocean is far greater! Indeed, art offers the possibility to vary the scene of the most common to the most unusual. The bars, cafes, hotels, merchants can accept that you bet the walls of your best work. After a nice place, trendy, attractive and strategic found, the work does not stop there! For your successful exhibition is set design and should be neat and thoughtful; an exhibition is not a sequence of pictures hanging one after the other without logical or no story to tell. The content is of course also important, do not neglect. Moreover, it is closely related to your artistic identity making it shine through, at first glance we know that this is your work, your brand, your talent. Finally, as would say our Anglo-Saxon friends, last but not least: co-mmu-ni-ca-tion; it is obviously capital, fundamental and indispensable! Your exposure will be communicated better, the more attire era crowds! 28

8. A shocking openingTo open your exposure in the rules of art, what better than a small opening? Amateurs, professionals and curious love to taste their wine or champagne surrounded by people sensitive to art, talk with the artists and meet new enthusiasts. For the successof your evening, boards are quite similar to rule 7. The place, date and event communication are not to be overlooked. Consider inviting important and influential people in order to give more impact and "credibility" to your event.If among your guests, oneor two journalists can be present, you have won everything!For the anecdote, do you knowwhy the opening night of an exhibition called a preview?No, you still do not have?The opening is the opening of an exhibition the day before itsofficial opening, often deprived at the time of painting exhibitions, important people were therefor this world so that they can take a look at works before the public. It was on this occasion that the artist took the opportunity to varnish their paintings that they

just completed!

9. Online saleE-commerce is now a major player in the market which is growing every year exponentially. The art trade is not spared by this phenomenon and sell your works online can be very lucrative if you know how to do it. In addition, Internet sales can reach a global audience! However, that will slowly go surely, so take time to set prices, to take all the dimensions of each works to educate the time of transport, post visual quality giving desire to know more about your work . The fine My ArtMakers team asks you to trust them and prompts you to create a qualitative artist profile. Although how to do is not the same as for an exhibition or a vernissage, the board remains the same: put forward a focused and strategic communications to reach your audience. If you get lost in the wonderful world that is communication, do not hesitate to get help from the experts. They allow you to make your profile visible and qualitative MAG and all social networks.

29

10. A delivery with confidenceLast bit of advice to considerbefore deploying your talent tothe world! Upon the sale of awork of art, whether in gallery or on the internet, we suggest you worry upstream delivery details. This way you will be able togive the right information at the sale. Moreover, this serious professionalism sits down your credibility in the art market. Be careful to be sure as it should. Make sure you work with a professional carrier if possible to

trust.11. Abroad saleThe sale abroad offers new perspectives to the artist. Foreign collectors do not necessarily look for the same work or the same aesthetic criteria. But how to go about selling outside of France? What are the concepts to be known on the art market abroad?Source from: Le-magazine
