Iranian Painter: Rassam Arjangui

Iranian Painter: Rassam Arjangui

This is my first article in IC. My name is Mitra Rabii and I an the great grand daughter of the famous Iranian Painter Rassam.

My family has put together a facebook page with some of his paintings and we are adding more all the time.

Rasssam was a very prolific painter and mastered various styles including: oil; water color; miniature and many other techniques. Most of his paintings are still in Iran. He also did sculpture; poetry; and calligraphy.

My father Faramarz Rabii is administering the page. My grandmother Azar and great aunt Homa both contribued a great deal to gathering this information. On behalf of my family I invite you all to join and become "friends" of Rassam. For the page please see this: //www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=100002224972614

Jahanshah was kind enough to give me this opportunity to publicize the page. Thank you all.

Mitra

All the paintings are available on Facebook. We have made them available to everyone. All you need is an account. You do not even need to be friends. They are higher quality. I will also ask my uncle to put high resolution paintings on our family site.

Now that the website is up and running maybe you can blog again with the website or send the photos of painting to JJJ so he can publish it on front page.

Although, while clicking on the thumbnails I couldn't see the bigger pictures.

I am Mitra's father and am posting this per her request. She is away for the weekend and wanted to post this in response to Red Wine. This is a site with poetry and other writings from my Aunt; Mitra's great Aunt.

Please note that the last name is spelled differently from my grandfather. When our family got their papers the spellings got different.

Thank you - Faramarz Rabii

It is nice to see recognition of Rassam and his work. I hope more people will appreciate his art.

Thank you Mitra.
