Supporters and opponents of the National Document of Visual Arts; From creating restrictions to requiring immediate approval

Fars News Agency – Department of Visual Arts: Compilation and approval of national art documents, including the national document of visual arts, has caused a lot of discussion among artists in this field. Some are in favor and some are against the approval and implementation of Sandamli. Some people consider the approval of the document as an important event for art and believe that the spread of visual arts requires a law and a clear document, but some people point out that the artist’s mind cannot be divided and with the implementation of the document, the artist’s hands are tied to show his art. are visual arts.

Sandemoli visual arts; It limits the artist

Bahman Abdi, a member of the Policy Council and Secretary of the Cartoon and Caricature Department of the 16th Fajr Visual Arts Festival, told the Fars News Agency reporter about the drafting of the visual arts document: “The drafting of the document in this field has no meaning.” When it is approved for Sindhi music, its task is clear because its notes and styles have not changed for a long time; But in visual arts, especially cartoons and caricatures, the main part is the artist’s use of thoughts, ideas, and subjects. If we look for documents in visual arts, the work of visual artists is limited by formatting in this art.

He added: Documents should be used in executive methods and styles. It cannot be used at all in some fields of visualization. The artist must be free to do his work.

The positive effect of compiling a visual arts document

Massoud Shujaei, a cartoonist and judge of the Fajr Visual Arts Festival’s cartoon and caricature section, stated that visual arts have the capacity to create nationalism and said: “Anything that happens in this field is a positive and influential event in this art.” It has been connected with other countries like Latin America for more than three decades. Iran’s visual arts are present in the world as a claimant and must have a clear document; If this has not happened until now, it has been neglected.

Visual arts do not need a nationality

Bahram Azimi, a cartoonist and a judge of the Fajr Visual Arts Festival’s cartoon and caricature section, while opposing the creation of a national document for visual arts, said: “The framework of some arts is clear, but it is a mistake to look for a document for it.” They tried to prepare a document for the animation, but in the end they did not succeed.

He continued: Visual arts artists have been doing their work well for many years. Some of the policies that arise make artists in this field not participate in events and change their path completely. I don’t agree with this and I don’t think this art needs a document.

The need to compile a comprehensive document for visual arts; It is already too late

But Amir Abdul Hosseini, an art teacher, graphic artist and secretary general of the 16th Fajr Festival of Visual Arts, emphasizing that it is already too late to compile a comprehensive document on visual arts, says that “considering that visual arts is the broadest art, it should be compiled and Sandemoli’s approval as soon as possible took a step to ease the imagination of artists in this area. Necessity and executive guarantee should be specifically specified so that only the drafting of the document does not add a new burden on their shoulders.

This artist emphasizes that “compilation and approval of the national visual arts document is necessary and it is already too late to compile it. The creation of a national document is a positive event for research and artistic value and strategic reference, but it is necessary to pay attention to the executive guarantee and its validation in different periods.

According to this report, the discussion of compiling national documents in some artistic fields such as music has been heard for several years. But with the recent talks of the Minister of Culture about the final approval of the national music document in the coming days, this incident has taken a more serious form.

Considering the fact that visual arts is the broadest art, a step should be taken to formulate and approve a national law as soon as possible to ease the imagination of artists in this field. Necessity and executive guarantee should be specifically specified so that only the drafting of the document does not add a new burden on them.
