This dissertation is a critical analysis of the blues, or melancholic aesthetics, that appears within visual cultural practices that traverse Iran's revolutionary period of 1960s to1980s. I foreground melancholia in this study for two reasons: first to argue for the materiality of feelings, such as that of the blues, and their relevance for art historical analysis; and second to highlight melancholia's potential for enacting social change through aesthetic practices. My work contributes to current art historical studies of affect in contemporary art, by offering melancholia as a site of radical sociality. In my study, melancholia is not an individual state of the mind, but a public affect that incites collective action.
