He was born to an average family in the Darvazeh Shemiran neighborhood. From the ages of ten to eleven years, he began his artistic career with violin playing under the viewpoint of professed such as: Nick Catching and Abolhassan Saba. He continued his studies at Adib High School. When he closed high school, he went to Kamal ol-Molk Conservatory. In 1953 Fine Arts School was established in Tehran and he was enrolled in sculpture. After passing the three-year sculpture course in the School of Fine Arts in 1956, he went to Italy to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara city. After two years, the amount of money that he had made after his family was taught, and he was forced to return to Iran in the year 1957. He says, returning to Tehran, although it was due to the necessity of providing money or perhaps getting a stock exchange, it actually creates a good opportunity for me. In some fish that I stayed in Tehran I made a lot of work and formed two fairs. In the first exhibition I showed the designs and engravings I had carried out primarily in Italy. I pulled most of these designs out of the model, but I exhibited a number of designs that I had made from the breast categories in Tehran. The engraved theme was mainly public bathrooms or round-cycle musicians. In addition, Manouchehr Sheibani’s work was exhibited as a poet and painter. He started the first professional sculpture experience with his older brother, the face of Master Abolhassan Saba, and gone to the face of the index and an impact on the Iranian sculpture process, so that there brought became the most well-known Iranian sculptor in the international arena.
From Master Parviz Tanavoli, as one of the pioneers of the Sagha Khaneh school is remembered. Statues: None, hands, locks and cages are among the most famous works of Parviz Tanavoli. Sculpture Series: No, many popularity in international auctions buy and sell artworks. From this, some of the most famous art and artistic collectors of the world’s museums have been collecting the works of Parviz Tanavoli for their collections. A statue of her name Perspolis, in 2008, was sold with an unprecedented record of two million and 500 thousand dollars in Christie’s auction. He is also an expert of carpets and nomadic braided.
In January 1957, he exhibited completely different works including engravings, pottery sculptures and sculptures made of cast iron for scrap. It was the first time in Iran to show a collection of the works of a sculptor. After the show, at the end of the year, Tanavoli became familiar with the Minister of Culture of the time, Mehrdad Palde, and was able to take over the Ministry of Culture (Education) to continue his studies in Italy. This time he went to Milan and a vast two year on Brera Academy with Marino Mariny distinguished Italian sculptor of vision training. In 1959, he received his diploma with the first place in terms of excellence for academic grades, and sixteen of his works were exhibited as the best of its sculpture graduate in the Re Magl Gallery of Milan, the city. In the same connection Ronato Guzzoni wrote about his: Parviz Tanavoli sculptor, the owner of his blessings is the identification that everyone does not possess. His inspiration has roots that relate to ancient Iranian stories. Sculpture in Iran remained desolate during the centuries, and it was replaced by decorative arts such as carpet weaving, stucco, and… Was. With its utmost elegance, the arts could not fill sculpture. Parviz Irani has filled a thousand years gap…
Master Parviz Tanavoli, for the first time in 1958, remembers Farhad Kuhkan. The statue that shows Farhad after falling from the mountain will be a basis for the collection: poet. In these years, Tanavoli was studying in the Milan Academy and was a disciple of Marino Mariney, according to himself: My works have not yet been affected. In his book about the poet’s collection, Master Parviz Tanavoli said, “I would make whatever I had before 1961 and to travel to the United States, and I was reminded of Farhad and his title was intertwined with his name. In the winter of 1961, he receives an invitation from Minneapolis art College. In this invitation, the College invited him as a visiting artist for six months. After he Minneapolis his own, he worked at the College Sculpture workshop and founded the start of his work to continue the same copper work.
The first idea of none; in the year 1964, he came to Parviz Tanavoli in Atelier Zal. The first appearance was no, with yellow plastic and in a piece consisting of various materials. Dr. Shiva Gorge believes that part of the source of inspiration has been a profound knowledge of Tanavoli from the ancient Persian poetry. He knows nothing from Rumi’s poems. Tanavoli also confirmed this, saying: My attachment to the ancient eastern poem is among the long-held interests that I have always had to be rich in the east. Indeed, the objection of Tanavoli was the two major currents of the Iranian art Day: One of the people who were worshiped by the West, and other people who praised the line and calligraphy in Saghakhaneh school paintings. Although Tanavoli was one of the founders of the school, but according to himself, there was no call for this objection. In the spring of 1973, twenty-five statue of no Master Parviz Tanavoli were publicly screened in Tehran. In 1971, a statue of no stainless steel was installed at the University of Hamlin in Minnesota St. Paul America. From 45 years ago to date, none has turned into the symbol and image of modern art of Iran. He was the last exhibition of the book: the Poet, on November 14, was held in Etemad Gallery 3. He who is not willing to interview, says, “Everything I have told my books. To date, more than ten volumes of books he has published is a valuable source for their art.
Parviz Tanavoli’s sculptures are a major difference with other sculptures. The statue primarily relies on its apparent architecture, but Tanavoli cares about the inner shape of the statue in his sculptures. A mysterious inner space that influences the outer shape of the statue and shows the secret of the pollution, the locks and the postures and the tabs that are working in the statues. He is also one of the experts of Iranian carpets and nomadic braided. He had many years to know Gabbeh, between nomads and villagers, and finally published it to the world by publishing a research article in London in 1983. He has also been a collection of jewelry designed and made to be greeted with a nice welcome. Also, 14 sculptures from his works were installed in Tehran, Shiraz and Esfahan. 13 other sculptures He has been installed in the Museum of Modern Art Vienna and New York, Seoul Olympic Park, Minneapolis Institute, London, Dakar, etc. Parviz Tanavoli House is located in Niavaran, Tehran.
