Biography
Shokouh Riazi was born in 1921 in Tehran, Qajar Iran, into a prosperous family. Her mother was Betul Dowlatshahi of the aristocratic Dowlatshahi family, and was the daughter of Qajar prince and Islamic philosopher Badi al-Mulk Mirza Imad al-Dawla. Shokouh Riazi's father was Ali Riazi, a politician who served as an Iranian military attaché in France.[3] Because of her father's work she lived in Paris until the age 14, after which her family moved to Shiraz.[2] She was fluent in French and served as a translator between French and Persian .[4]
Riazi initially entered university studying medicine at Tehran University (now University of Tehran), but never completed it.[3] Instead, Riazi switched departments and studied in the Faculty of Fine Arts at Tehran University, where she graduated in 1946.
She later studied at Beaux-Arts de Paris.[1][5] Her classmate was Iranian artist Javad Hamidi, in both Tehran and Paris.[1] She continued her studies in painting under André Lhote in Paris.[1]
She was influenced by the work of Amedeo Modigliani and his elongated female portraits.[6]
Riazi taught portraiture classes in the College of Decorative Arts at Tehran University. Many of her students were members of the later Saqqakhaneh movement, including Charles Hossein Zenderoudi,[7][8] Faramarz Pilaram,[9] Mansoor Ghandriz, and Massoud Arabshahi.
In 1962, she died of cancer in Tehran.[5] Due to her premature death, there is a limited amount of her artwork.[5] Riazi's work can be found in the collection of Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art.
