Sepehri

Sohrab Sepehri (1928-1980) was a true Renaissance man in the Persian arts.  He was equally talented as a poet and a painter.  In the mid-1960s, he gave up a career in the civil service to write and paint full-time.  He spent much of his time during this period abroad, living in the United States and in Paris.  His acute awareness and observance of the subtleties of nature - and human existence - make his works of universal appeal.  He was not only an artist in his own right, but has inspired other artists to create works in tribute to him; a few of those works are shown here.

These prints were designed by Shahram Setareh.  Each one contains a stylized verse from Sepehri's poems.  They measure 34 x 24 cm (13.25" x 9.5").
