Calligraphy Made Contemporary
In Armajani’s Calligraphy (1964), numerous poems in arabic were separated and placed on a canvas in a random order. In this way, Armajani is trying to show his audience that even though calligraphy is an old form of writing that is not used often it can be something seen as modern as well. Siah Armajani is an Iranian born sculptor and knowing this extra bit of information made his piece even more understandable because, like in his occupation, he took basic materials and created something greater that can be interpreted numerous ways by each individual.
