لاهوتي در شعرنو تجربياتي را آغاز كرد اما اينها از نظر فرم در حد بحر طويل كلاسيك باقي ماند و از نظر محتوايي نيز تازگي نداشت . سانسور استاليني و تبعيد به تاجيكستان و مقامهاي فرمايشي اداري و حزبي ، دهان شاعر پر شور را براي هميشه بست . خدمات او به فرهنگ و زبان فارسي در شهر دوشنبه و چاپ و نشر آثار ي از اين دست چشمگير و تاريخي بود هر چند آنها هم خوش أيند دستگاه نبود. مهاجرت إجباري لاهوتي به دنبال ماجرا جوبي هاي سياسي تنها موجب از دست رفتن استعداد شاعري او شد 

اما بهر تقدير نام لاهوتي در فهرست شاعران پيش نيمايي ثبت است

 وطن ویرانه از یار است، یا اغیار، یا هردو
مصیبت از مسلمان هاست، یا کفّار، یا هردو
همه دادِ وطن خواهی زنند امّا نمی دانم
وطن خواهی به گفتار است، یا کردار، یا هردو
وطن را از خطر، فکرِ وکیلان می کند ایمن
و یا سرنیزۀ یک لشکرِ جرّار، یا هردو
وطن را فتنۀ مَسنَد نشینان داد بر دشمن
و یا این مردمِ بی دانشِ بازار، یا هردو
کمندِ بندگی بر گردنِ بیچارگان محکم
ز بَندِ سُبحه شد، یا رشتۀ زنّار، یا هردو
به قتل و غارتِ دهقان و استثمارِ زحمتکش
فقط مسجد بود بانی، و یا دربار، یا هردو
بنایِ ظلم و استبدادِ صنفِ مُفتخور ویران
ز چکُش می شود، یا داسِ جوهردار، یا هردو
وکیل از خدمتِ ملّت تغافل می کند، عمدا
و یا باشد وزیر از مملکت بیزار، یا هردو
به مجلس نسبتِ ایران فروشی می دهند، امّا
نمی دانم کنم اقرار، یا انکار، یا هردو
ترا روزی به کُشتن می دهد ناچار “
زبانِ راستگو، یا طبعِ آتشبار، یا هردو

1/1 PLAYING POSITION WITH ARDESHIR:INTRODUCTION

ardeshir mohasses' last images

faramarzsoleimani.com

faramarzsoleomani.com

ARDESHIR MOHASSES,TO THE LAST MOMENT OF LIFE,POSITIONS HIMSELF IN A SOCIAL AND HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE,TO DISCOVER THE POSITION OF POWER,TO SHOW THE OPPRESSED،and to draw them with reality and sincerity that defines the drawing as a simplest and most naked form of art.

MOHASSES NOT ONLY USES KINGS AND THEIR COURTS,

AND ESPECALLY QAJAR DYNASTY,Pahlavis and mullahs,BUT ALSO SCENES OF MODERN DAY 1001 NIGHTS IN NIGHT CLUBS,DANCING OF BIG SUBJECTS AND OBESE PRODUCTS ,IN nude and SEMI NUDE POSITION.

HE TAKES EXPERIENCES OF HIS PRIVATE LIFE AND HIS SIGHTS INTO ACTION.

ON THE COVER OF A SPCIAL ISSUE OF

SIMORGH MAGAZINE,COMMEMORATING HIS LIFE AND ARTS IN 2009/1387,THE ARTIST IS STARING AT ONE OF HIS SUBJECTS,LIKE A KING HIMSELF.HIS NECK IS DRAWN OUT OF HIS COLLAR,HIS EYES FROM PROFILE SEEMS TO BE IN DISBELIEF,AND HIS SHADOW,LARGER THAN LIFE,STANDING SIDE BY SIDE,BESIDE HIM.

NO DISTRACTION IS BEING FELT IN HERE BY THIS PICTURE,WHICH COULD BE A COLLAGE BY MOHASSES IN HIS LATER YEARS OF LIFE.THAT IS WHEN HE WAS NOT ABLE TO PERFORM PROPERLY AND BRING HIS MIND AND IMAGINATION ON PAPER,BUT HIS LOOK AND HIS SIGHT IS THE SAME ,AND BUISNESS AS USUAL.

*

*

IN EARLY 90'S WHEN I LIVED IN MANHATTAN,A FEW BLOCKS AWAY FROM HIM,I OFTEN WALKED TO HIS 6C APARTMENT TO DISCOVER HIS POSITION IN NEWER WORKS,AND DISCUSS THEM WITH HIM,OR AT TIMES WITH FRIENDS LIKE MANI,ON MY SIDE.SOMETIMES WE CONTINUED OUR TALKS ON THE PHONE,THAT WAS NOT HIS FAVORITE,BUT WE USED IT EVEN WHEN I LEFT NEW YORK.I ALSO MADE NOTES ON HIS BOOKS,AND FOLLOWED MY OBSEVATIONS THROUGH TWO SPECIAL ISSUES OF MAGAZINES,
IN BARRESI KETAB AND SIMORGH.
ALL THESE TIMES,

I ONLY FOUND ARDESHIR TO BE IN EXILE .EXILED AT HOME and OR IN HIS ADOPTED HOME.

HE WAS ALWAYS SITTING BEHIND THAT EASEL,WITH LIGHT IN BACKGROUND,AND TAKEN AWAY BY HIS LINES.HE WAS ALWAYS WAITING FOR LIGHT AND HIS ERA TO BE EXPANDED IN FRONT OF HIM,

WHEN HE WAS TALKING ABOUT QAJAR,HE SEEMED TO BE ENCHANTED,BUT YOU COULD TELL HE MEANT CONTEMPORAY,BY THAT.BECAUSE HE ALWAYS WAS CONTEMPORARY.AND HIS PEOPLE ON GALLOWS,OR THEIR PIECES ON DIRT,AND THE CHAINS AND LOCKS ,AND ARMS AND LEGS WITHOUT BODY ,AND BODY WITHOUT HEAD,THEY ALL WERE CONTEMPORARY...AND NOW THE BACKLIGHT FROM THE WINDOW WAS RUNING BETWEEN HIS HANDS AND FINGERS,AND I WAS TAKING MY NOTES,LIKE A REPORTER AND OR REVIEWER.

HE SAID TO ME HE IS A REPORTOR.REPORTER OF HISTORY AND DOCUMENTS OF TIME AND PLACES.
HE WAS A REPORTER OF ART ,AS WELL.

*

*

ONCE IN MANHATTAN,I WENT TO SEE HIS ARTS IN A SOLO EXHIBITION,HE WAS ALL NAKED,AND THERE WAS THIS NAKED LADY WHO WAS WALKING AROUND AND REMINDING EVERYONE THAT THE MODEL OF ALL THOSE ART WORKS ON THE WALLS IS HER.IN FACT SHE WAS ON THE WALL,JUMPING UP AND DOWN,AND A GOOD EVIDENCE OF POSITIONS.THE POSITIONS SHE WAS TAKING AND THE POSITIONS ARDESHIR ALWAYS PLAYED:

NAKED AND CLEAR,EXCITED AND ANXIOUS.CALM AND ENGAGED.

THEN JAMES TURBER CAME ,ALL NAKED, AND SAID:

"WHEN I DID THE CARTOON,ORIGINALLY I MEANT THE NAKED WOMAN TO BE AT THE TOP OF A FLIGHT OF STAIRS,BUT LOST THE SENSE OF PERSPECTIVE AND

THERE SHE WAS STUCK UP THERE NAKED ON A BOOK CASE."

...

ARDESHIR FREED HIMSELF OF ALL THE ANGST,EVEN TOTALLY NAKED.

HE TOOK THE FINAL POSITION.

HE FLEW AWAY.

M.K.SADIGH SAID : HE IS NOW IN GREEN WOOD OF BROOKLYN.

I WON'T BELIEVE UNTIL I SEE HIM.

IT IS ALL SEEING IN SEEING ALL,MAKE ME SEEING,MAKE YOU SEEING,MAKE US ALL SEEING...ALL SEE-ING,so...

MEHRGAN! - 1* مهرگان

nowruz,by:kamalolmolk

To the memory of our new year : Mehregan
Happy memory of friends,happy memory of Iran

HAPPY MEHRGAN!
There is always a trend of attributing all traditions and festivities to religions and their gods,anf or kings and king of kings,while all these festivities belong to the people and only : PEOPLE,
like Noruz, Mehregan, Tirgan, Sadeh, Yalda, Sizdeh bedar and so on...

IS MEHRGAN A NORUZ/NEW YEAR

OR HARVEST FESTIVAL/AS AN INSPIRATION FOR HALLOWEEN and the likes?

MEHRGAN ,MEHREGAN OR MITRAGANA,Mitrakana...LIKE NORUZ IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FESTIVITIES OF OLD IRAN OR PERSIA.As in PreKhayyami Calender,used especially during Akamenids there were two grand season of spring and witer ,each starting with festivities .The beginning of spring started with Noruz or New Year; and the beginning of winter with Mehregan.

مهر MEHR:MITRA,SUN,FRIENDSHIP,Contact ,Cotract.MONTH OF MEHR OR MIZAN=LIBRA

گان GAN:CELEBRATION

MEHREGAN IS CELEBRATION OF MEHR DAY OR 16TH DAY OF the month of

MEHR  OR 7TH MONTH

EQUAL TO OCTOBER 8TH.

A PERSIAN FALL FESTIVAL

OR HARVEST FESTIVAL.

IT IS ALSO CELEBRATION DAY FOR THE BEGINNING OF CLASSES IN

UNIVERSITY OF TEHRAN,

TRADITIONS AND FESTIVITIES OF RUG WASHING IN

MASHAD ARDEHAL,KASHAN OR

JASHN E GHALI SHUYAN.

MEHRGAN IS ALSO CELEBRATED IN OTHER FARSI SPEAKING COUNTRIES

LIKE TAJIKESTAN.

MEHRGAN

FALLS IN FALL

A NAME-DAY

CELEBRATED IN

A LOVE-DAY,

MEHR.

IT IS NOTEWORTHY THAT UNESCO ANNOUNCED NORUZ, AS A WORLD CELEBRATION Day FOR NEW YEAR.

THIS IS APPROVED after PROPOSAL by IRAN,

AS WELL AS OTHER COUNTRIES WHO CELEBRATE NORUZ,SUCH AS:

INDIA,PAKISTAN,AZARBAYEJAN,KAZAKSTAN,OZBAKSTANTurkmenestan,TURKEY,

WITH SUPPORT OF AFGHANESTAN ,TAJIKESTAN AND KURDESTAN.

IN U.S. IRANIAN COMMUNITY OF LOS ANGELES AND WHITE HOUSE OF President Barak OBAMA INSISTED AND ASSISTED ON INTERNATIONAL POPULARITY OF NORUZ,

AS ONE OF THE OLDEST FESTIVITIES For CULTURE AND NATURE IN THE WORLD.

SO

HAPPY NORUZ IN ADVANCE.*

*a note on language: I am a strong advocate on transliteration and phonetic,when it comes to write Persian or Farsi.also Parsi words in english,and or any other greco-roman languages.I do not think letters like q,w,x,or even y can replace persian letters,unless in arbiterary use.

for example:

q for gh

x for kh

also compositions like ee(=i),oo(=o or u),ei(=i),aei(=ai),aw,ow,ou and so on

have no merit to replace persian letters or sound.

by this:  Molana is correct

and mowlana,mawlana,maulana,mevlana is incorrect.

hafez ,but not hafiz

WE DO NOT NEED TO REPEAT LETTERS FOR TASHDID

like khayyam or rubayyat

instead of khaiam or robaiat

western orientalists made all these corruptions and conversions intentionally,due to limited knowledge of Farsi,

and or may be to help other orientalists and assist them for pronounciation,at the most

but we are Persian Orientalists,and Iranists, who can teach them,or ourselves how to be politically correct.

a ,but not aa,or o or even u!like in maani,kayvon or muhroo.

aragh,but not iraq,and they pronounce it:eye-rak!!

U BUT NOT OU OR OO,or even O

S BUT NOT SS OR C

CH ,NOT C

USING E AT THE END OF WORDS ENDING IN CONSONANT LETTERs,A LA FRANCAIS

DOES NOT HAVE MERIT

the letter w in english or german does not replace the letter v in persian ,as you see especially in persian-afghani or indo-pakistani.

v is v and persian including persian-afghani does not contain w.

now,if some use nowruz,it is considered an exception

because of positive connotation of now,for present time and something new

and negative connotation of no,meaning absent or absence.
THIS IS ONLY AN EXCUSE!

I do not write nurooz,nevrooz,no-ruz,noorooz,etc...

this could be discussed furthermore in details,

and I am sure it did,and it will.

F.S.

ADDENDUM:

I ALSO LIKE TO REMIND A POINT TO AVOID BIG CONFUSIONS.

LET'S FORGET ABOUT THIS KASREH EZAFEH AND HIFEN

LIKE MAZAR-E SHARIF

(pronounced: mazar i sharif!)

the correct way is:MAZAR SHARIF

LIKE OUR NAMES,FOR EXAMPLE:

AHMAD SHAMLU,NOT AHMAD-E SHAMLU

AS IN EUROPEAN LANGUAGES

WE DON'T SAY:

VICTOR DE HUGO

PAUL OF NEWMAN
New of Orleans

NEW OF YORK

SAINT OF LOUIS.

THEY MADE IT SIMPLE FOR THEMSELVES

(AMERICAN LANGUAGE IS VERY GOOD IN THAT)

AND COMPLICATED FOR US.

Do NoT GET FOOLED!
