Abstract painting by Sohrab Sepehri, Iranian poet and a painter.
  •  Question - If you didn't know where the painter was from, would you be able to tell that it was "non-Western"? Isn't this just international-style abstract art of the 1960s that happens to have been painted by an Iranian man? I happen to dislike this piece, but I note that it was painted in 1969, so since it's still highly regarded by the art establishment 50 years later (boy does that reckoning make me feel old, as I actually remember seeing art shows in Soho in 1969, when I was 4), I feel conflicted about the thought of voting against a feature on the basis that the art says nothing to me. I'll say, nevertheless, that this would certainly be a useful VI, regardless. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:19, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
