Shiva's innovative graphic art is the fruit of his search into his homeland of Iran's cultural traditions, which he has perceptively developed in the course of time to invigorate his clever and stimulating posters. In particular the graphic designer draws on his country's cultural elements – calligraphy, miniature painting, lithography, ancient bas-reliefs, Persian poetry and music. This breathtaking and comprehensive survey of Shiva's work, chronologically presents the highlights of his output produced between 1967 and 2004 and features, for example, poster designs for music concerts, film posters( for among others, Abbas Kiarostami), exhibitions and tourist destinations. Clearly presented, with one full poster per page, images are accompanied by a short interview with the artist.
