New Visual Culture of Modern Iran

Bruce Bahmani recently wrote an Iranian.com review of an Iranian graphic design/art book that looks fascinating, New Visual Culture of Modern Iran, by Reza Abedini. It speaks to a lot of the things that make compelling the calligraphy of Sadegh Tabrizi, which we covered recently: type and calligraphy as a medium of (political? emotional? all of the above?) expression. If you’re a typography, calligraphy, or art nerd, I’d bet this book will be right up your alley.

Check out more sample pages of the book here, on the publisher’s website.
