Painter
Iran
|
Born in Tehran, 1921; deceased in Tehran, 1962
She left her medical education and she graduates from Tehran University, Fine Arts Faculty, in 1946.
She received her degree from the Beaux Arts, with commendation and a gold medal.
Shokouh Riazi taught at Decorative Arts Faculty for 2 years and she trained many outstanding students.
Shokouh has participated in a few local and international exhibitions.
Due to her preoccupation with teaching, her love for training and her early death, she has left few works. The sketches and a few paintings and sculptures, left fro her, attest her trained and disciplined perception. But, what distinguishes her as an influencing pioneer artist in the contemporary Iranian art scene is her teaching methods, which showed her students how to look at the world with critical and discovering view. Many of her students are the well-known artists of today, who consider their success as a result of her directions.
