The publication of the arts and cultural works in foreign languages,such as your invaluable book "PASSION FOR PAINTING" is a great contribution to introduce the time-honoured culture of our great Islamic Nation to the world people. |

I would like to congratulate you on your great contribution to publish this beautiful work which ,by itself, is an honour for the printing and publication industry in Iran. I also wish to express my gratitudes towards you for the sincere and passionate appreciation of such an excellent artist who needs to be well known in the foreign countries. Finally ,I suggest that you send a copy of this beautiful book to the manager of cultural services in the Louvre Museum,Paris. |

I am honoured to have such a statement of love for art. I found in the glance of M.R.IRANI,the artist,the light of the crystal-clear spirits; They,as well as children,treasure the capacity of wondering in front of the spectacle of life. We all must be happy when these pure personalities have a successful and loveful life. Unfortunately, when we miss a person like this our sense of emptiness is deeper. Talking about art with people loving art is like to breathe fresh air to me,after breathing longly the deeply heavy atmosphere of a culture that too much often forgets the idea of loveliness. |

The book is a wonderful piece of craftmanship and I can hardly imagine the amount of devotion and hard work which has been put into projecting and completing it - not to mention the cost which went along with producing it. From the introductory words regarding the personality of the artist,his life ,his devotion to painting and his philosophy towards human existence, I take for granted that a deep and long lasting friendship,within the real sense of the world,existed between yourself and M.R.Irani. Let me express my deep admiration for both the artist and his great work and to you for having made it accessible to a large number of people worldwide. Since I am not an expert in painting, I can only express my personal feeling on the many wonderful pencil drawings and oil and watercolor works of M.R.Irani. They seem to me to be of great beauty, being a wonderful mix of colours and providing an enormous power of expression and authenticity of faces and personalities. |

I'm impressed very deeply of your great efforts you have made in order to present all the works and the real life of your famous painter M.R..IRANI. We feel this book is made by much of love for the art and respect for the artist. I'd like to congratulate you and your colleagues to this excellent work. I'm sure you will earn worldwide a lot of admiration. |

Whenever I look at his last paintings,I get vanquished by the power and grandeur of his art,and it is at this point that every viewer is enchanted and swoons. It is also at this point that his paintings talk of purity,honesty, and humanity; one would say the paintings talk about his pure soul and nature,the soul that has now met the eternity. If Irani's fire has been extinguished superficially,thousands of fire-temples have been erected in the hearts. If we have lost one great man and lover,hundreds of followers and lovers of art continue his way of life and thinking. Strictly speaking,if he is extinct and silent,hundreds of artistic gatherings are being illuminated by his human-spiritual teachings. You can now hear the admiration of Irani from every artistic assembly;and,even his semi-honest friends have started admiring him and his fabulous artistic power and love. His art and love was like a fable;and as sea joins ocean, Irani and his artistic charm, too, finally joined up with myths and became immortal. |

Your very fine book has moved me deeply. As I,myself,like painting,it was for me a double delight,a double emotion. |

I was deeply impressed by your book. The portraits through the pencil drawing and the oil works especially deserve appreciation. Those works and the two self-portraits of the painter on pages 80 and 335, in particular, remind me of the late impressionists.Both portraits reflect the work of a powerful hand and the artful strokes of the brush,similar to the works of PISSARO and CEZANNE to whom I personally have a great respect.The Portrait of a Friend(c.1975) hints at a prospective perfection. The charcoal drawings are indeed smooth and also impressive."His Mother" should also named in this respect. I deeply feel that you have lost a friend whom you used to adore. If only he had enjoyed a richer life and more useful years, presenting his works! ...perhaps he was not fated so.You have provided,through this book ,a precious and magnificent gift for him;and thus you have caused him to be understood well by the Iranians and the other nations. |

The publication gives an interesting insight into the part of Iranian art and culture represented by the artist. It's a valuable supplement to our Museum's documentation library on contemporary art and will there be made available to our public. |

AGES SHOULD PASS FOR A STONE IN THE SUN, TO BECOME IN BADKHSHAN A RUBY, IN YEMENE AN AGATE The Persian culture still enjoys being proud of certain characters who have retained their nobility among the massive aggressions and conformities. The book "PASSION FOR PAINTING" is a witness that the mystifying strokes of the brush by the late Irani is a point in case.Contrary to those who investigate the other cultures for the code of mystery of the art of painting,Irani portrays the greatness and the grandeur of the Iranian Painting-this is approved by the men of knowledge. Though the sensitive and flower-like being of him was disselected by the wind of death , he will live in his works for years and even for ages.His paintings will hang from the walls of hearts and eyes like precious epigrams. Nevertheless,your invaluable attempt to introduce the master's surviving works deserves high appreciation. You and all,who have helped you , especially Irani's family,deserve being addressed by"MORE POWER TO YOUR ELBOWS".This appreciation is due to the fact that the book "PASSION FOR PAINTING" is published quite acceptably from every aspect and in terms of the international quality standards. This is ,as it was, Irani's right. |

This book is an extraordinary piece of art, showing art of a man who,of course,died much too early. I know,that you did this perfect job for Mr.Irani's family and to make sure,that the world will keep in mind Mr.Irani and his paintings.YOU DID VERY WELL! |

My dream is to have the opportunity to send works of Iranian artists for this exhibition in Cuba, but "Wifredo Lam Center" does not have information about Iranian art.Your book is going to contribute to this proposal. |
||
|
 |
|
The publication you have sponsored certainly provides a wonderful tribute to an impressive artist. |

I want to thank you most cordially for this excellent book which describes the life and the selected works of Mr.M.R.Irani. Congratulation for this fantastic work you have done. You not only have fulfilled your exceptional promise but you also introduced a great Iranian painter to many people and to many other nationalities.This allows us a deep insight into a most interesting culture and into the art work of a first class-painter who -in addition-was also your good friend. You bring together different nations and cultures which is indeed a most valuable undertaking. |
||
|
 |
|
This beautiful book in multiple languages is truly the testament of a great Iranian painter. It should make better known the artistic work and accomplishments of M.R.Irani among a larger it to the attention of artistic circles. |

The artists are the hosts of the history,
The politicians are guests in it.
Indeed , paying tribute to a friend who lives no longer and your remarkable attempt to collect artistically his
works is living the life itself.
More power to your elbows:A faultless support you have given him.Though you failed to save him ,he provided
you with the best opportunity to expose your sincerity,dignity and services to fulfill his rights and to
commemorate the name "IRANI".

Every day I look at some pages of the memorial book on the immense work of Mr. M.R.IRANI. At this very moment I am admiring the pencil drawing of page 210. Delicacy and sensibility combined together on a restricted background is the art of portraiture, Great. |

Whatever were done in mass media:Newspapersand T.V. and in other artistic gatherings,are
all but a small part of a giant iceberg most part of which lies under the water.It is a deficient recognition
of an efficient painter,nor is it an efficient view on a deficient painter.
The most audible word may be that the present artistic world has seen the flash of lightning, but has
not yet heard its sound for which we should wait.
THE PRESENT BOOK IS ONLY A FLASH OF SUCH LIGHTNING AND AN INDICATION OF ITS THUNDER!
