Parviz
Tanavoli addressing the Kish Carpet Festival
2005
Parviz
Tanavoli is Iran's greatest living sculptor and rug
scholar. Like many in the tumultuous maelstrom of the
early days of the Iranian revolution Parvis Tanavoli left
and taught in Canada. But ever drawn back by his love for
the Iranian people Tanavoli returned and set to work in
helping the tribal and village people of Iran. Pursuing
his almost single handed crusade Tanavoli continues his
effort to document the weaving cultures of Iran.
 |
Preserving the best of traditions of the
Iranian People. Here we have Iran's greatest
living sculptor and rug scholar Parviz
Tanavoli looking at the new line of Sayahi
Sofreh with Abbas
Sayahi. The line was inspired by Tanavoli's
classic work "The Sofreh of Kamo".
Parham Sayahi has worked hard to maintain the
traditions of the peoples of Iran.
|
| The Sofreh of Kamo At the time when
Tanavoli completed his book "Bread and
Salt" he found a new group of Sofreh
appearing in the Tehran market. Since "Bread
and Salt" was finished Tanavoli created this
book, a detailed look at one village and the
Sofreh it produces.
|
 |
| Tanavoli is perhaps better known as a great
sculptor. He is frequently cited as Iran's
Greatest Living Sculptor and his work is highly
sought after.
