Artist Statement:
Hello, Bonjour, Salam, Shalom,
Bonjorno, Guten Tag, Dobry
den, Namaste
Since my father is no longer
with us, I, Marjan
Zahed-Kindersley, have decided
or rather have been deciding
to set up a website for my
late father's work. Whether he
would have wished this or not,
I cannot really say, for he
used to change his mind on a
forever-wave. However, I
think, that he would have
appreciated having his work
displayed and perhaps touched
a few hearts and have enhanced
lives.
I have, as usual, deliberately
scanned the paintings badly.
They are not really for sale
and I know that he used to
work hours and hours, months
and months on his paintings
and a mere electronic glance
would give a feel of the
paintings, but not do them
justice. (Absolutely
meticulous brushwork,
sometimes with blinding
goldleaf.)
I'm hoping that his original
paintings will be seen more
often.
In the meantime, please, bear
with me and I shall update
this page as much as I can....
Marjan

The following are extracts from a preface Davoud Zahed wrote (his book of paintings):
"What does it really matter whether I was born on 3 September 1936 in Teheran, or on some other date in some other place, since temporal chronology and spatial division are in themselves pure conventions, and cannot affect art which is essentially an indeterminate phenomenon! It sometimes even seems to me superfluous to sign works of art, for are we not often dealing with a completely gratuitous act?
In my opinion, the life of the artist and the conditions that prevailed when his work appeared cannot in themselves be adequate criteria for admiring or condemning the work as such. Moreover, no reason whatsoever, however cogent it may be, can release the creator from his responsibility as an artist. The work he creates is his unique output placed there before us for all time. It is the imperishable work that lasts and not its author who is moral and subject to decay."
"I started painting quite late in life. Why? I have no idea. But I always regret not having been a musician. At a very early age I was greatly drawn to poetry. I worked at it, and even had some success as a poet, but subsequent ly I ran away from it, though still retaining a poetic way of thought."
"Art is neither predictable like evolution in nature, nor in a state of anarchic disorganization like the chaos of history. It enjoys complete liberty which the artist sets in motion."
"If works of art have any intrinsic value, they will in any case be judged on their own merits;if not, what use is it to talk about them endlessly with reference to the past, to the insignificant details of this or that act, journey or event-secondary circumstances which in the final analysis are relevant only to the subjective path followed by the individual."
"It is not only children who draw objects after passing them through the filter of their magic vision."
