Charles Hossein Zenderoudi (French, born in Iran 1937)

Charles Hossein Zenderoudi painted the present work titled ABYANEH in
1973, at a time when the art trend known as Letterism was one of the leading
artistic movements in Europe. The French art critic Pierre Cabanne has described
Zenderoudis paintings of that period as being all over hypergraphic. Cabanne
was referring to the fact that ABYANEH and other works painted by Zenderoudi
in this period, in fact fall under the field of painting as opposed to writing as
Zenderoudi filled the entire space of his canvases with abstract shapes all over,
very much in line with American Abstract Art.
