Javad Mojabi Funeral: Writers and Artists Gather to Say Goodbye to the Celebrated Poet and Critic

Javad Mojabi as a Painter

Mojabi was not only an art critic.

He also produced visual art himself.

His involvement with painting and caricature demonstrates how closely his literary and visual interests were connected.

For Mojabi, the boundary between writing and drawing was relatively fluid.

Both could be used to communicate ideas.

Both could contain satire.

Both could reveal contradictions.

Both could reinterpret reality.

This interdisciplinary approach helps explain why his body of work is so diverse.
