Neuware - Die Herstellung farbig bemalter Fliesen hat in Persien, dem heutigen Iran, eine lange Tradition. Im Mittelpunkt dieser Publikation stehen sogenannte haft rang (sieben Farben) Fliesen aus dem 18. und 19. Jahrhundert. Zu dieser Zeit fand ausgehend von der Stadt Schiraz eine Wiederbelebung der Kunst des Fliesenmachens statt, ausgelöst vor allem durch unbekannte Künstler, welche die Traditionen ihres Landes erhalten und weiterführen wollten. Ihre farbenprächtigen, mit Unterglasur versehenen Fliesen schmückten private Häuser, öffentliche und religiöse Gebäude. Sie zeichnen sich durch eine reiche Bebilderung mit Motiven typischer volkstümlicher persischer Erzählungen aus. Gesellschaftlicher Wandel und eine ablehnende Haltung gegenüber iranischer Architektur und Tradition führten Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts zur Zerstörung vieler alter Stadtteile und zum Verschwinden dieses beeindruckenden Kunsthandwerks. Hadi Seif hat die direkten Nachfahren der Fliesenmacher besucht und die Ergebnisse in diesem Buch dargelegt.…

The manufacture of colourfully painted tiles has a long tradition in Persia, modern-day Iran. This publication focuses on so-called haft rang (seven colours) tiles from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. During this time, the art of making tiles experienced a revival, starting in the city of Shiraz and initiated primarily by unknown artists who wanted to preserve and carry on their country's traditions. Their vibrantly coloured tiles, with underglaze, decorated private homes, as well as public and religious buildings. The tiles are characterised by a wealth of pictorial elements, with floral motifs as well as motifs from traditional Persian folktales. Social change and a disregard for Iranian architecture and traditions at the beginning of the twentieth century led to the destruction of many old town quarters and to the disappearance of this impressive art. Hadi Seif visited the direct descendants of the tile makers and presents his findings in this book.
