Saqqa-khaneh is an art movement which formed around 1960s in Iran. The question is eitherSaqqakhaneh school is a movement which was influenced by Postcolonial view? Or does it intensify Orientalism hegemony? Or it requires the third distinctive approach? The purpose of this article is to challenge the two approaches of Postcolonial and Orientalism in case of studying Saqqa-khaneh school. Descriptive-analytical method was considered. The research’s suggestion is not to limitSaqqa-khaneh between the Postcolonial and Orientalism views; by considering Iran’s special situation. This article first describes Saqqa-khaneh and then related art movements in Europe and United-States at that time.Said's Orientalism, as the systematic arrival of postcolonial approach and also the translation Fanon's "The Wretched of the Earth" to Persian actually were after the Saqqa-khaneh movement formation. In fact, Postcolonial theories of Fanon and Said played an important role in the study of contemporary Iranian art; although these theories not only refer to next of Saqqakhaneh but also these just can be practiced in other societies which had not similar situation comparable to Iran of the 1960s. It seems that considering Saqqa-khaneh as a Postcolonial art movement influenced by Orientalism perspective. Historical studies indicate that Saqqa-khaneh as a Postmodern movement formed exactly when western’s ones were born. It had the nationalism purpose too. Furthermore, Iranians, particularly on that period didn’t consider themselves as a colonial society as they wanted to protest against it.
