Art and mythology from the viewpoint of Persian bards and philosophers

From the days of yore, art has been one of the leitmotifs of poetry in the ancient world. This famous verse of poem, “At this time, on this thought please testify / on this thought arts more than gem qualify” [in Persian], shows the chronic background of the importance of art in Iran. Iranian philosophers were of the conviction that geometry was a part of mathematics in which the units are connected and fixed. Thus, the visual arts are the harmonized and musical form and external manifestation of geometry. In the present paper, we take it upon ourselves to explain the history of art and its effect on psycho-spiritual status of humans, in order to integrate the Western and the Eastern cultures.
