An article published by the Tasnim News Agency on Monday criticized the Art Bureau for dedicating it gallery for a solo exhibition of one of its managers.
The article called the exhibition unbalanced and said that the organizers should use works by more cartoonists to enrich it.
Most of the cartoons were done years ago on the subject of the Afghanistan war, and were published in the book “Only for the USA Army” in 2016, the article said.
Only two cartoons of the exhibition focus on the killing of the Saudi Arabian dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
“Therefore the choice of the title ‘Donald Salman’ for the exhibition is also nonsense,” the article stated.
