Javad Mojabi Funeral: Writers and Artists Gather to Say Goodbye to the Celebrated Poet and Critic
Javad Mojabi’s Brother Hossein
Mojabi’s family history also included an early artistic tragedy.
His brother Hossein, who was a painter, died in 1963 at the age of 19.
The loss occurred when Mojabi was still a young man.
His own later engagement with painting, visual arts and art criticism makes this part of his biography particularly significant.
Mojabi eventually became one of the important chroniclers of Iranian modern art.
His work would encompass not only literary criticism but also extensive research into Iranian painters, sculptors and the development of modernism in Iranian visual culture.
