Ghasem Hajizadeh (b. April 1, 1947; in Lahijan, Iran, Persian: قاسم حاجیزاده) is an Iranian–French painter and a pioneering Pop art figure in contemporary Iranian art.
However, after contacts and friendship with Ardeshir Mohasses, he changed his style and concentrated on figurative art.
During the 1960s and early 1970s, Mohasses encouraged him to pursue pop art movement, which was thriving in the United States.
In 1972, Hajizadeh participated in the first art exhibition, held by Iran–America Society.
[2] While he held several solo and group exhibitions inside and outside post-revolution Iran, after establishment of the Islamic Republic, he could no longer run any public exhibitions for his work.
