Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian
Iranian artist (1922–2019)
Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian (Persian: منیر شاهرودی فرمانفرمائیان; 13 January 1922 – 20 April 2019)[1] was an Iranian artist and a collector of traditional folk art.[2] She is noted for having been one of the most prominent Iranian artists of the contemporary period,[3] and she was the first artist to achieve an artistic practice that weds the geometric patterns and cut-glass mosaic techniques (Āina-kāri) of her Iranian heritage with the rhythms of modern Western geometric abstraction.[4][5]
