The role of Shajarian in Iranian artists' works

Painting the faces of celebrities of a society that was once very popular in history due to the recording of the faces of these people, with the advent of the camera gradually lost its function as a historical document.

However, a portrait painted by an artist is so valuable that in the contemporary world, people still order paintings of their faces or the faces of social, political, etc. figures are painted by artists at the request of various people or institutions.

But another type of portrait painting is formed when the artist, based on his personal interest, decides to paint faces without receiving an order or even informing.

Mohammad- Reza Shajarian is perhaps one of the few people whose face has been portrayed many times by professional or amateur artists during his life. These portraits, which are painted based on the artists' love and heartfelt devotion to the master of Iranian songs, are at different artistic levels.

In this report, we see a number of portraits of Mohammad- Reza Shajarian that have been painted by various artists. In this collection, there are works of painting, illustration, digital painting, caricature, graffiti, etc. Most of these works have been created over the years, and some of them are an artistic response to the death of this valuable personality.
