Parviz Shapour

Parviz Shapour (Persian: پرویز شاپور; b. February 25, 1924 – d. August 6, 1999)[1] was an Iranian artist and man of letters known for his witticisms and for his brief and troubled marriage to poet Forough Farrokhzad.

[4] He married Forough Farrokhzad in 1950; they had a son, Kāmyār Shapour, before divorcing in 1955.

In 1968 Shapour collaborated with Ahmad Shamlou, editor of the art magazine Khoosheh (cluster) Journal, and one of Iran's most celebrated poets.

These short humorous sentences proved to be wildly popular with the Iranian public, and helped to make Shapour into one of Iran's cultural and literary leaders.

"[5] Shapour's first book of writings and drawings was published in 1964, titled Cari-kalamator.
