Abstract

Magnanimity was a ritual in ancient Iran that found deeper meanings after mixing with Islamic teachings. Photo letters - as interdisciplinary documents - taught the methods of combining art with ethics to art students - with a special rhetoric - This study aims to explain the function of photo letters in promoting professional ethics in Iranian art. For this purpose, with a qualitative method, and using an interdisciplinary interpretation of the text of the photo letters, the sharing of content and their method with the spiritual tradition of Iranian art has been comparatively studied. The need to reconsider the concepts of photo letters makes it clear that there is a way to promote their content in contemporary art. One of the most important results of this is to preserve the roots and roots of the original Iranian-Islamic culture and civilization contained in the photo letters at the public level, and to promote the status of art and artists through the establishment of professional identity and ethics. In addition to the moral content of the photo letters, we can also point to their rhetorical literary richness, which has been very significant in consolidating and consolidating their themes; The symbol of the strategic link between Iranian art and Persian literature is the key to entering the treasures of art in this land.
