Max Emadi's Paintings of Veiled Islamic Women as Pinup Girls Gaining Notoriety

Max's series of paintings on the Islamic dress code has been attracting a fair amount of attention of late it seems. The Arab American News posted an article on August 4th titled Are drawing and painting haraam? in which they mention Max's series of Islamic Erotica in a discussion of nudity in art. As one would expect it seems to be a big "No! No!" for strict Moslems. Same goes for strict Christians, and no doubt strict Jews, strict Hindus...

Iran Politics Club also posted a piece about Max this past August 2nd titled Max Emadi's Islamo-Erotic Paintings!

And last but not least, Max was approached recently to exhibit in a London event called "The Erotic Awards". Prints of some of his works will be exhibited at an event called "Night of the Senses" taking place in Brixton, London on the evening of September 2nd! We aren't going to link to either of the associated websites because of the explicit nature of images on both sites but you can no doubt search them down if you must. Max and I believe his works will appear rather tame in the context of what we've seen.
