He was a prominent Iranian painter and sculpture from the disciples of Kama ol-Molk. Ferdowsi statue in Ferdowsi Square of Tehran, statue of Khayyam in Laleh Park in Tehran, statue of Nader Shah Afshar in Nader Shah Mausoleum in Mashhad and Abu Ali Sina face design is of outstanding work. Sedighi was born in neighborhood Oudlajan in Tehran. His father Mirza Bagherkhan Seddiq al-Dawlah was from the light of Mazandaran, his mother, the Queen of the Qajar, and Surto Shajian. Years before her being born in Tehran, he had been Oudlajan and resided in the capital of the City of Lords. At the age of seven, he went to Aghdasieh school to be a new school. After the completion of elementary education, he went to Alliance school to continue his education, and there, without a master, began painting, his paintings on the walls of the school, followed the objection of school managers. Although his SK family had other aspirations for him and his father had no desire to paint his son, but his interest in the size of his or her children, he had had to abandon his lesson in the final year of his school and his friend Ali Mohammad Heydarian, with Kamal ol-Molk, to go and On the classroom he will be present at the Soheyli Industry School. After three years of schooling, Sediqi, in 1920, took a degree with a distinguished diploma and paid teachers to teach students in the same school. His prominent apprentice, Ali Akbar Sanati, said about this period: in the work of its art, it is so optimistic that in the late-e Ismail Khan Ashtiani, Mr. Kamal ol-Molk, often from the head of humor and encouragement of The Apprentice, he sounded the rival Abolhassan Khan. The internal ambiguous desire to bring Sedighi to the sculpture, while at the time, there was no master of sculpture in Iran, and nowhere, including the school of the Soheyli industries, he was taught in the year 1922 with primitive means, a plaster sculpture of a child’s torso. Kamal ol-Molk by seeing the statue; He realizes Siddiqui’s talent, who is now one of the school’s painting teachers, and turns the school’s greenhouse into a sculpture workshop. And by reading the books that Kamal ol-Molk brought from Europe, he becomes somewhat familiar with the theoretical aspects of sculpture.
After a few gypsum sculptures, and within two or three years, it is necessary to find the ability to be able to build a statue of stone for him that Kamal ol-Molk first oppose the possibilities and experience of the Sedighi is not enough. But it eventually accepts and cost the purchase of stones. In a photo of the Venus de Milo statue, Sadighi starts building the Venus statue and eventually in 1925, the work of this statue ends. Kamal ol-Molk, who realized his apprentice, was sculpture to the presence of Ahmad Shah, and at the meeting Ahmad Shah, fifty Tomans at that time was a lot of money to Kamal ol-Molk and a monthly fee of 20 Tomans to help and continuity. The works of Sedighi, he determined and Kamal ol-Molk, also curated by the newly established workshop in the sculpture of Soheyli Industries School. In this period, Sedighi makes many sculptures, including: Ferdowsi sculpture, bust sculptures and all heights of Amir Kabir, sculpture of Elijah, statue of Elias. The most sculpture statue of this period, which was made in the year 1926, is the black straw of the woman (Haj Moghbel) made of Patineh gypsum, and its height is 93 cm and is now kept in the Museum of National Arts.
The year 1927 is a year when Kamal ol-Molk withdrew from all his positions and moved to Hosein Abad Neyshabour. When he left Tehran, he suggested Sedighi to go to Europe and spend their graduate studies there. The money that Kamal ol-Molk had Ahmad Shah to him in this period from the place of receiving a pension. The students and teachers of the school were also scattered, and one year later, at 1928, he was at a personal expense from Tehran and from there to Baku and Moscow and from Moscow to France. He traveled to several European countries and eventually paid for four years at the National High School of the Fine Arts of Paris, under Angalber, to learn and gain experience in sculpture and sculpt. He who takes over two World war in Europe is more time to 160 paint.
In March 1933, Sedighi returned to his home country a few months later, in May 1934, Ghodratosadat Mirfendereski married with his cousin. With the permission of Kamal ol-Molk, who imposed in exile and with the help of his old class Ali Mohammad Heydarian, he opened the School of Soheyli Arts. After the death of Kamal ol-Molk in 1940, the school was shut down for unknown reasons. But after a while, another school called the School of Fine Arts affiliated to the Ministry of Culture was formed. Master Sedighi, after a while, finally accepted the teaching of this new school. After the establishment of the University of Tehran, the school continues to work as the Faculty of Fine Arts and the presidency of the Department of Sculpt in this faculty is deposited in. In 1950, master joined the National Monuments Association in this period, he made the figures of the Iranian Scientific and literary fame and made the shelf-life sculpture of these celebrities. The figures of Saadi, Ali Sina, Ferdowsi and Hafez are the result of this period. He was eventually retired from Tehran University in 1961, and devoted all his grief to sculpture. With a trip to Italy, he managed to make shelf-life sculptures in Italy. The rare statue and companion, in the tomb of Mashhad Nader Shah and Ferdowsi statue of Ferdowsi Square in Tehran and Khayyam sculpture of Laleh Park in Tehran are the result of this year.
During the Islamic revolution in 1978, the statue of Khayyam saw a serious damage because of throwing stones into the statue of the face and his fingers broke. On February 11, 1978, an unidentified group separated from tons of Ferdowsi’s statue, which later was refurbished. At the time of the Revolution, Sedighi was in Italy in the construction of Amir Kabir sculpture, a model of gypsum was finished, that the government officials of the new government refused to pay the next costs and had never made the bronze statue that was going to be built. This model of gypsum, which is 225 cm high, was cast by Lorenzo Nikolochi, but because of the government’s change in Iran in the year 1978, its transfer to Tehran was cancelled. After 33 years on October 10, 2010, the statue was installed in a ceremony with the presence of his family and the municipal authorities in the nation park in a beautiful space. After the entrance of the Mellat Park, the installation location was slightly higher in stairs, which immortal the statues of Iran’s fame. Just in the upper point of the stairs andithe beautiful horizon that comes to the eye, sculpture Amir Kabir, who 33 years ago in the workshop of Italian artist, was created by Abolhassan Sedighi, and shows his cast by Lorenzo Nikolochi.
In the year 1991, the National commission of UNESCO decided to photograph the works of Sedighi and publish a book in this field. The book was published in the year 1994. After a while, Sedighi returned to Iran and remained in silence and isolation in the final years. On July 8, 1992 his wife also died. Sedighi eventually died on December 11, 1995 at the age of 101, and buried in the pieces of Behesht-e Zahra artists. After his death, he was held in large meetings, and the order of sculpture was given to his son Fereydoon Sedighi, and this bust statue is now located in the Faculty of Fine Arts. In 2009, another torso statue of the artist was established in Kish Island and in the passage of artists.
Master Sedighi has made outstanding painting works and with many designs of the face of the elders of classical Persian literature, it has stabilized their faces. In addition, two of his boards were at the Sadabad Museum and a large panel with a length of 7 meters and a height of 3 meters from him in the Embassy of Iran in Paris. This panel is the face of the first in the Louis XVI court of Persia. He was in Europe in the years while drawing from European landscapes in museum Louvre from the writings of Raphael, Rambrandt, Rubens,… Moslemian is very similar to the main panels. The Board of the negligence has gone out of the LAX, but his brilliant copy of the Board of Mary and Jesus has the effect of Raphael on his child with Fereydoon Sedighi. According to him, the artist is “a full height board of the angel’s Daughter (source), and because it’s a very naked man, he can’t show it anywhere! Another of his works on painting, the face of Abu Ali Sina, was created on paper, which is now known as the official face 1945 of Abu Ali Sina. The designs of Master Sedighi have been found in the elders of Persian literature as a stabilized plan of their faces. In particular, BU-Ali Sina and Saadi’s face design. He often pulled his panels with water paint and oil paint.
In the case of Abu Ali Sina’s face design in 1944, a group of experts is formed and the design of the face will be laid out by Abolhassan Sedighi. In May 1945, he designed a full-face image with a black pen and was approved in the 21st meeting of the national works of this picture and was printed on Ibn Sina’s lottery paper. In January 1948, the same half-roc design of all-occurring design was also drawn by Sedighi and was used in printing stamps and medals and similar cases. In the year 1949, a group of six people in which Houshang Seyhoun and Abolhassan Sedighi were also left for the tomb of Abu Ali Sina, after the grave skullٔ of Abu Ali Sina was visited, after making a new tomb, his skeleton was once again buried in the new tomb. Then, from the National Monuments Association, the mission found that a statue of Abu Ali Sina, the statue was also built in the year 1954 and is now located in Abu Ali Sina Square in Hamadan.
