This book presents an in-depth oral history of Mohammadreza Hosseini, one of the few remaining masters of Iranian coffeehouse painting. Compiled and edited by Narges Eshqi and Somayyeh Hamidi, the volume captures Hosseini’s artistic journey, stylistic nuances, and personal reflections. Coffeehouse painting, a popular and narrative-driven art form rooted in Iranian folk culture and religious rituals, flourished in teahouses and mourning halls with themes of epic battles, martyrdom, and spiritual devotion. Through vivid storytelling and visual documentation, the book highlights the cultural significance of this endangered art and the unique brushwork of Hosseini. It serves as a vital resource for scholars of vernacular art, Iranian visual traditions, and oral cultural heritage.
