Abstract: (289 Views) |
Contemporary postmodern painters often create new works by referencing previous literary and artistic texts, appropriating and deconstructing them. These hypertexts, created within various discourses, can closely resemble or differ from their source texts, serving as references to a title or element of the source while conveying new meanings. One significant source of inspiration and adaptation for contemporary Iranian painters is miniature. When referring to these works, contemporary artists sometimes deconstruct and critique the art of the past.
These references establish a textual interconnection between the past and present, conveying artistic and cultural themes and traditions. This article will use a descriptive-analytical method, gathering data from documentary and visual sources, to examine the diachronic reproduction of the image of Behzād’s The Khawarnaq Castle in contemporary painting. It will analyze the study and experiences of artists in this adaptation and address questions such as: What mechanisms underlie these adaptations, what formal and figurative changes have occurred, and how have these changes produced new meanings? To this end, the analysis will utilize Gérard Genette's typology of Hypertextuality, ultimately demonstrating that artists, when confronted with and adapting a singular figure, through changes in its quality and quantity, as well as attention to contemporaneity and temporal displacement of the image reflect their concerns, issues, and worldview in a new visual system.
