I agree entirely. When I was teaching at the University of Esfahan (1974-75), I had a woman student in one of my classes who had obtained special permission to come to class wearing a chador (regular drill was for women to take theirs off when passing through the gate onto the campus). As all students had to do, she would take her turn to read aloud in class. To hold the book properly she had to use both hands. Then to take care of her chador she had to put a fold of it in her mouth. This made her reading quite muffled, but at least she was following religious etiquette!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640401560612413536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417678895830888523.post-33268739475977490672014-06-10T19:57:50.322+08:002014-06-10T19:57:50.322+08:00Totally delightful to move through the geometric c...Totally delightful to move through the geometric color mosaics, that you artfully captured through giving an elemental feel of perspective with the the outside structural forms. Social realism through the workshops cluttered with exited still life of pots and vase, along with animated tailors and merchants, and the almost surreal depiction of animal body parts strewn on street. Thank you for giving me a vicarious life. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02432344783322738642noreply@blogger.com
