Hüseyin Tahirzade Behzat (Persian: حسین طاهرزاده بهزاد;1889–1962), or Hossein Taherzadeh Behzad Tabrizi, was an Iranian miniaturist painter, calligrapher, educator,[1] and carpet designer.[2] He is considered one of the most important miniature artists of Iran, and has produced approximately 400 articles and artworks. In the present day his miniatures and carpet designs receive a great amount of attention.[3]
Biography[edit]
Tahirzade Behzat was born in 1889 in Tabriz, Persia.[4] He received his training in painting at academies in Istanbul (now Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University) and Tbilisi (now Tbilisi State Academy of Arts),[2] after which he returned to Iran.[5]
He is credited with the development of an Iranian heroic national style[6] to decorate the palaces of Reza Shah in collaboration with a team that consisted of craftsmen and architects. He created and/or directed the creation of these large scale wall murals which also lends credit to him as developing Pahlavi modernity.[7] A section of the Negarestan Garden Palace was turned into a museum under the supervision of Behzat in 1930.[8]
Behzat taught miniature painting and calligraphy at the State Academy of Fine Arts, Istanbul[3] from 1947. Among his students at the academy were Neşe Aybey and others.[1][5] He was honored with the nickname Müzeyyenü'l Sultan.[3] In 2015 an exhibition in Tehran displayed the works of Behzat and the tools that he used in his work.[3]
