Ancient Persian theatre and dance was significantly researched by the Greek historian Herodotus of Halikarnassos, who lived during the Persian rule in Greece. In his work ''Book IX (Calliope)'', he describes the history of Asian empires and also the Persian wars until 478 BC.

Iranian Modern And Contemporary Art
A cursory glance at the history of art reveals that social, political and economic conditions have always played a major role in the emergence of new artistic currents and styles. As an example ''Flight'' by Morteza Katouzian is showing the marginalized people who have no freedom as result of political changes. In Iran, the social and political developments of the 1940s radically altered the evolution of this country's plastic arts and entirely altering its natural path. History The modern art movement in Iran had its genesis in the late 1940s and early 1950s. This was the period after the death of famous Persian painter, Kamal-ol-molk (1852–1940) and thus symbolically the end of a rigid adherence to academic painting. The College of Fine Arts at Tehran University (now University of Tehran) served as an important place for students interested in modern art. The earliest College of Fine Arts students graduated in 1946, this group included Javad Hamidi, Shokouh Riazi, Jalil Ziap ...
