The book Art Through the Ages by Helen Gardner has been the favourite book amongst several generations of scholars, students and artists who referred to it since its first edition was published in 1926.
It was translated into Persian in 1986. This book has been the greatest reference for me and for my generation as if it were our holy book.
My perception of the art world descended like verses from heaven, verses that are in constant disturbance where some are gained and others are dropped.
And heroes who are suffering this endless cleaning, keeping their written history become stained.
My drown history continues its life faithfully and honestly and verses still descend from heaven.
