Comparative Semiotics of color in resistance poetry and painting (Case Study: Qeysar Aminpour's Poems and kazem Chalipa’s Paintings)

Poetry and painting are aesthetic tools in the field of resistance which are a mirror of the exquisite and beautiful images formed in the artist’s mind. Creating innovative ideas of resistance and inducing revolutionary message, Qeysar Aminpour (poet of Revolution) and kazem Chalipa (painter of Revolution) arouse patriotism and fighting against oppression in audience. These artists use the symbolic element of color – which comes from the artists’ collective unconscious- for this purpose, so it leaves a physiological effect on the audience. Understanding the psychological characteristics of colors Aminpour and Chalipa have illustrated the resistance and revolutionary atmosphere of society and have used this element for the sake of conveying the content.  Although the ways in which they have used this element are different, they have common goal and the implicit connotations of the symbol of color correspond in their works. The aim of this study is to comparatively investigate the use of color in Qeysar Aminpour's resistance poetry and kazem Chalipa’s paintings. For this purpose, a descriptive- analytical method of research was used.
