There's a long and wonderful history of calligraphy on the other side of the planet and those artists seem to have a knack for updating the content and styles as the decades roll on. This painting, by Pooya Aryanpour that went for $35,000 at auction at Christie's in 2009 is testament to how subtle and pervasive calligraphy and especially calligraphic gesture is in modern works by new generations of eastern artists.
