Without Boundary: Seventeen Ways of Looking – Hardcover Book

Description

Edited by Fereshteh Daftari

The attention currently directed from the West to the Islamic world has profound ramifications for the art made by those who come from the region but live elsewhere. To examine the various ways in which these artists’ works diverge from popular expectations, the MoMA exhibition and the accompanying catalogue examine the visual treatment of texts and miniature painting on one hand, and issues of identity and faith or spirituality on the other. Includes 98 illustrations.
