"Hey Scar, if I'm king, what does that make you?" "A monkey's uncle."


So I remembered about this painting that was stored in our garage for a long time, kind of creepy looking but I liked it a lot. I wasn't sure where it was so I asked my grandpa if he could find it for me and he did. Turns out its an original from my great-uncle Javad Hamidi. It was almost thrown away a few months ago but thanks to my brother Ryan it was saved and now I've claimed it for myself. This is it:

Its oil on canvas, I have no measurements of it and I think the title is something in Italian but I'm not sure.

His stuff has certainly been in display in Iranian contemporary museums and I think in Paris though I have not been able to confirm that. Apparently, he was one of the flag-bearers of the modernist movement in Iran. Pretty cool.
