Jazeh Tabatabai (Persian: ژازه تباتبايي) (1931 – February 9, 2008) was an Iranian radical painter, poet, and sculptor.
Tabatabai received higher than 10 major international awards for his paintings and sculptures. He was the founder and director of the Iran Modern Art Gallery in Tehran, Iran.
Tabatabai’s present fame is mostly due to his creative figures and metal sculptures which he assembled as soon as parts from archaic machinery and cars. His style is close to the Saghaneh School; milk-women and suns are repeating themes in his work. For this reason, he is cited alongside a handful of further influential Iranian artists as a entrepreneur of the Saghaneh School, which took form in the 80s.
