This study involves analyzing the interaction of photography and literature in conjunction with each other. Researchers have already compared photography with painting or cinema, but the relationship between photography and literature is not addressed properly. This relationship goes back to the days of the invention of photography and has been evolving since then. With this intention, after describing the various aspects of the relationship between photography and literature in the world and Iran, the focus is on printed books in which a conjunction of photography and a kind of literary writing can be observed. In this research, documentary method for data collection and descriptive-analytical method for analyzing the samples have been used. The scope of this research includes the books published in Tehran from 1385 to 1395. Samples have been chosen selectively.In this study, it has been attempted to discover the specific features of photographs which were chosen to be juxtaposed with literary texts. Theories of "intertextuality" and "nature of photographs" have been used to analyze the samples and reach a conclusion. The intertextual attribute of the texts (in this case, the literature and the photos) allows them to be juxtaposed with each other, and the result of this conjunction is a new text and a new meaning. The findings of the research show that among the four levels defined in the theory of "the nature of photographs" for a photo, (namely physical level, level of presentation, mental level and mental design), an active and generative "mental level" is in common between all the photographs which are selected to accompany literary texts. In this accompaniment, the main elements of the "mental level" of the photograph can also be found in the theme of the literary text

The effective presence of women in political and religious power as well as its doctrinal role in the ancient world as a symbol of fertility can be seen both in the form of the virgin princess of heaven and the wicked woman in artistic designs. One of these ancient civilizations is Ilam, in which women and the construction of their statues along with the gods had a special and superior position, which had both magical power and ruling power. The above research is a descriptive-analytical method with the aim of examining female figures from an aesthetic and doctrinal point of view in order to achieve a better visual and artistic understanding of this period as well as special conditions and characteristics affecting the artist of that period and Influence of Mesopotamian neighbors to create such works and on the other hand can be an answer to the reason for the formation of this type of statue and its symbolic functions. The result is the achievement of the functions and ways of thinking of the Elamites about women and their social status at the foundation of Elamite thought

In the Persian traditional painting, especially schools during the 4th to 11th centuries A.H, we confront a method of attitude. It changes the coordinates of our visual comprehension in order to abstraction from mater and representation of realities which are cryptographic behind that, and it challenges the known rules of visual intake and accepting. In a fantastic atmosphere such as Persian painting, there is a special system which the whole of qualities and quantites are affected by it. The “Movement“ as an important element is one of those elements. Persian painter who is affected by rich Persian philosophy and literature, notes the “Movement” as an important matter and although he hasn’t any tools for actual ideogram of “Movement“, he tries to portray his sightly moves in 2D paper, that’s his equipment in best conditions. All of the exaggerates and abstracts which applied on the human figures are special movement creators. One of the prominent Iranian painters who has embodied spaces full of fantasy and pure imagination in his paintings, Sultan Mohammad Naghash, is one of the painters of Tabriz II school. In this research, an attempt has been made to examine these images from the perspective of movement fantasy. The author's question is “how the animated effects of human characters in the works of Sultan Muhammad are expressed?”. The purpose of this study is to achieve a meaningful structure and purposeful methods in drawing human figures and also to achieve a coherent and generalizable method in the body of contemporary Iranian visual arts.

This research has led to understanding and receiving the method of exaggeration and special transformation of Sultan Mohammad in drawing the statues based on the intended meaning of the drawing and predicting the way of movement for the mentioned statues

Realism claims the explicit and immediate explanation of the fact. The variety of methods, materials, the role of philosophy and notion has changed the approach of humans to the facts and has led to a lack of definition and definitive formulation of the style of realism. With the transformation of relations between production and the proletariat, which was based on the production of major industries, to the world of Cagnitaria, which relies on the mass production of information, software, and computers, the artists' view of realism has also changed. American artist, Jasper Johns, is one of the artists whose work has been explored by art critics of realism. On the other hand, several articles related to the definition of realism have been presented, one of the most complete of them is Mehdi Hosseini's article, which stands out based on the evidence of art history and analysis of works, formulated in the article "Realism In Definition,” and in seven paragraphs Introduces realism. The question is, given the fundamental changes in the concept of realism in the contemporary world, how can Jasper's flag explain current realism based on Mehdi Hosseini's definitions? This article has been done by descriptive-analytical and comparative method, using library studies and adapting the seven components of the above definition to the contemporary work of Jasper Johns to benefit from indigenous views and theories about art schools. The results show that based on the four components of "realist expression, raising the quality of objectivity, and opposition to the concept of form deformation,” "realist expression in opposition to overt and covert idealism,” "realism with political content in the service of the ruling system" and " Exaggeration in the objective expression of reality »The contemporary realism in this work can be expressed
