Also, Rumi has discussed the subtle relationship between form and meaning in the story of «Romans and Chinese» from a mystical point of view. On the other hand, Anish Kapoor's «Mirror of the Sky», which has a special place in contemporary art as a large-scale work, has common points compared to Rumi's point of view. The present research tries to address these points and investigate the significance of how and with what common language, form and meaning are studied in these works, which are in many historical contrasts?Objective: Rumi attended to the subject of meaning far beyond his time.

Therefore, the current research is trying to achieve a new concept by comparing the value of meaning in the story «the Romans and Chinese Argument on the Painting Science» by Rumi and «The Mirror of the Sky» by Anish Kapoor, in a way that is also related to the language of contemporary art.Research Method: The current research has been conducted in a descriptive-analytical method and, by referring to library sources, it has expressed the concepts of form and meaning in contemporary art and their place and relationship in Islamic thought and mysticism.Results: The results showed that the story of «the Romans and Chinese Argument on the Painting Science» and the work of «Mirror of the Sky» have tried to highlight the importance of meaning so much that it has even led to the removal of form. These two works are very close to each other in terms of form, but their semantic language differs from each other according to the context of the time in which they are placed %U https://paykareh.scu.ac.ir/article_17886_100ce562682f764e82d2d6b969e80ada.pdf
