Manoucher Yektai (Persian: منوچهر یکتایی; b. 22, 1921 – d. 19, 2019) was an Iranian-born American artist and poet. A member of the New York School of artists, Yektai's paintings synthesized diverse influences from the United States, France, and Iran into works that trouble distinctions between abstraction and representation.
