Jazeh Tabatabai (Persian: ژازه تباتبايي; January 17, 1931 – February 9, 2008) was an Iranian avant-garde painter, poet, and sculptor.

[2] Tabatabai's fame is mostly due to his creative figures and metal sculptures which he assembled with parts from old machinery and cars.

[citation needed] He wrote his first story, titled "Sand and Straw", at the age of 12 and subsequently entered other artistic fields.

[5] Four years later he achieved the position of top student in the Film Direction and Principles of Theatre program at the Iranian College of Literature and produced the play "Sailor's Shirt".

Additionally, his works have been displayed in exhibitions in England, India, Italy, Germany, Spain, Greece, Australia, France and the United States.
