About the Item
This is an original, framed mixed media work (hand painting on top of a photogravure print)) by artist Nazanin Moghbeli. The abstracted calligraphy text in her "Words from My Mother" series is written in the hand of Nazanin's mother, Manzar Moghbeli. Nazanin borrows her mother's her words -- written in text in Farsi calligraphy -- and works on top, or into, or next to her writing with her own abstracted ink paintings. The finished works are made by a photogravure process, whereby the image of each drawing is transferred onto a print-plate, and then the plates are inked and printed in the printing lab of Master Printmaker Cindi Ettinger. Nazanin weaves in plates of her mother’s work with her own, creating layers, sometimes visibly collaged, into which she draws/erases further in response to the image. In these personal dialogues on paper, Nazanin explore the tensions that create so many rich layers in a mother daughter relationship.
Nazanin Moghbeli is a Persian American artist with training in Persian calligraphy, miniature painting, and music. She grew up during the turbulent years of the Islamic Revolution and the Iran-Iraq War. In her art, she grapples with her dual identities as an Iranian and American to shed light on what happens when that which seems disparate comes together. The simultaneous contradictory presence of violence and beauty, conflict and harmony, bloodshed and community are central to her work.

Framed abstract Persian calligraphy ink drawing/painting on paper, black & white
By Nazanin Moghbeli
Located in Bryn Mawr, PA
Nazanin Moghbeli's "Morghe Sahar 2" is framed in a white wood painted frame with white mat. It is wired with all hanging hardware, and is ready to install. Moghbeli is a Persian American artist with training in Persian calligraphy, miniature painting, and music. She borrows techniques from Iranian calligraphy to create abstract drawings with traditional bamboo “ghalams,” or quills. Rather than using these techniques to create religious objects as they were originally used, she explores the secular meaning of line in and of itself. She seeks the complete dissolution of words and prefers instead to create abstract images, her alternative to religious object making.
The poem that is collaged into this work is a historic Iranian ballad, entitled "Morghe Sahar" (Bird of Dawn), written by Mohammad-Taqi Bahar and put to music by Morteza Neidavoud in 1921. Some consider this song to be the unofficial anthem of freedom in Iran. The lyrics describe a caged nightingale, urging her to sing with passion and break free. It has been sung in different political contexts, from the constitutional revolution of 1921 through the dictatorship of Mohammad Reza...
