Editing Mirza ali shafai (section)

==Parde (Curtain)== 
The curtains of Mirza Ali Shafai are painted by himself. The curtain he uses at present in his performances is 13 meters long and 2 meters high. In it 33 gatherings and hundreds of portraits have been illustrated. The depicted gatherings are showing many details in various situations. The style and kind of paintings technically belong to the various situations. The style and kind of paintings technically belong to the past and dates back to Mohammad Modaber and Ghullar Aqasi. The faces just as the curtain paintings express general characteristics distinguishing the good from evil characters. The saints possess beautiful, dignified, dependable faces full of faith, and the evil ones are ugly, enraged, and devilish. 
Some of the images such as Mared ibn Sodeif who is cut in two is shown as a plurality to indicate other sinners who are all stained with one blow of the saints. There are many place changes of the gatherings with respect to other normal curtains because of the large size of the curtain. Mirza Ali's curtains are distinguished from others in the use of high contrast in color, excess use of contour lines, extreme attention to the facial expression instead of the style of the curtain design, variety in color spectrum and innovative techniques which are unusual with respect to other curtains. At the same time the curtain has marvelous connection with very modern painting which is surprising, perhaps it is the same link which the European modernists have long since discovered and used some of its elements in their works.
