Fereydoun Ave - Designer

The first publication of a three-volume compilation on Iranian artist and designer Fereydoun Ave, this book collects handicrafts from a wide range of sources: posters, logos, costumes, set designs, and interior and furniture designs. Educated in Great Britain and the United States, Ave is a member of the first generation of Iranian contemporary artists, and his career has already spanned more than four decades. The geometrical expression of his works, their dichotomy of light and dark, speaks to his upbringing in an era influenced by Bauhaus and cinema, and reflects a mixed American iconography and Persian mythology. Prolifically illustrated, with an essay by Dariush Kiaras.
