The discovery of Sohrab Sepehari's anti-Utopia in the book of Marge Rang
Color can be considered as a means of conveying feelings for Sohrab Sepehri, who is a poet-painter. In his first book called "Marge Rang", he talks about the world of colorlessness, and the death of colors is evident in it.
The purpose of writing this article is to discover the characteristics of his anti-utopia, which by exploring his poems, with a descriptive-analytical method, the semantic load of colors and symbols in the creation of space was paid attention to, and with a comparative method, the reverse characteristics of his utopia in the poem "Behind the Seas" from the book " Green volume", as well as the characteristics of the strange city that he discussed in the same poem, with the characteristics of the city that Sohrab depicts using the concept of colors and symbols in "Death Color", are examined and compared. The scope and community under study is Sohrab Sepehri"s "Eight Books" published by Tahori Publishing House.
It seems that the colorless area depicted in his book "Marge Rang", which is indicative of living in a terrifying atmosphere, is dark and full of loneliness, and the poet made it with symbols and dark colors with a negative meaning. This space can be compared with the "strange city" that the poet emphasizes on remembering and moving away from in the poem "poshte Daryaha" from the book "Hajme Sabz".
The reason for the higher frequency of the color black and its equivalent meanings in "Marge Rang" is that the poet equated the colorlessness and death of colors with blackness and darkness; The city that we see in this book with negative symbols and the predominant color of black is his anti-ideal city, which is the translation of colorlessness.
