Publishing
of “Molla – Nasreddin” magazine in Iran in 1921 must be considered an
important event in the art world of the Near East. Just with the help of
this magazine, though for a little time (at that period only 8 numbers of
the magazine were published), progressive prose – writers and artists got an
opportunity to show their attitude towards the problems accruing in Iran as
well as in the Near East.When publication of “Molla Nasreddin” began in
Tabriz, Jalil Mammedguluzade drew Azerbaijani artist Seyidali Behzad into
the magazine. Due to the influence and assistance of Jalil Mammedguluzade
artist Ali Behzad mastered originalities of cartoon genre and gained great
success in a very short time.
