“A collection of about 1,000 artworks have been selected and studied in this book, reviewing the reasons behind the formation of the art of revolution,” Gudarzi-Dibaj told the participants.
The ceremony was followed by tributes paid to 11 artists of the art bureau who were honored in various national festivals over the past year.
