Mohammad Fassounaki - Times Square, Selected Works

Born in Tabriz, Mohammad Fassounaki is perhaps one of the most prominent contemporary artists outside Iran's central art scene in the capital of Tehran. For over five decades, he has focused on evolving and improving his unique aesthetics and technique. While some consider him a modern artist who successfully challenged Tabriz's traditional art scene, others see his style as old-fashioned and outdated, ignoring his contributions to contemporary Iranian art. This volume, produced in close collaboration with Fassounaki, presents the work of an artist who is passionate about painting and, despite the disapproval of classical viewpoints, has faithfully pursued his own style.
