Paintings by Aazam Harati
December 6, 1999
The Iranian
Persian miniatures have been appreciated for centuries. But the work
of contemporary artists like Aazam Harati have a modern spin. These stylized
artistic interpretations of Persian and Islamic stories are extremely pleasing
to the eye. No wonder Harati's work was a crowd favorite during the recent
Evolving Perceptions art show in Washington DC.
