Hossein Khosrojerdi

Hossein Khosrojerdi is one of Iran’s most prominent artists whose career spans a historical period—before, during, and after the 1979 revolution.

Khosrojerdi was born in 1957 in Tehran, Iran.

Discovering his love for art at an early age, Hossein dropped out of high school and joined a special art education school (Honarsara) and learned fundamentals of visual arts, primarily painting from well-known masters of the time.

In 1976, he enrolled in the Tehran University School of Fine Arts and became involved in political activities, which led to the Iranian revolution in 1979. He devoted his art to support the revolution by designing posters, caricatures, and propaganda flyers.

After the revolution, when the art scene in Iran dramatically changed, Hossein and a few other artists founded the Islamic Art Association, (“Hozeh).” They were called “Artists of the Revolution” and worked on subjects of war and martyrdom in support of the revolution.
