Mohsen Vaziri

A pioneer of Iranian Modern art, Mohsen Vaziri honed his craft at the faculty of Fine Arts in Tehran, and went on to study in Milan at the Academy of Fine Arts where he familiarised himself with Western art movements in 1955. His early works are characterised by a figurative style of painting, which he then veered away from in favour of abstraction.
