Ardeshir Mohasses & His Caricatures (Persian: اردشیر محصص و صورتک هایش, romanized: Ardeshir Mohasses va suratak hấyaš) is a short film written, produced and directed by Bahman Maghsoudlou in 1972.
It was the first film ever made about Ardeshir Mohasses, the acclaimed caricaturist from Iran, and remained the only film about him until 2012 when Maghsoudlou made a sequel/update entitled Ardeshir Mohasses: The Rebellious Artist.
It was also shown as part of a retrospective on Mohasses at the Asia Society in New York City in June 2008 entitled 'Ardeshir Mohasses: Art and Satire in Iran,'[1] an event that featured appearances by, among others, Iranian artist Shirin Neshat and former Attorney General Ramsey Clark, both friends of Mohasses's.
It was the enthusiastic reception of this retrospective and the artist's passing soon afterward that spurred Maghsoudlou to create the updated film.
