"
By the Pen: The Art of writing in Islamic Art" on Sunday, April 27 at 1 pm.
From the earliest times to the present, artists and craftsmen across Muslim lands have used writing to decorate all types of buildings and objects, from the most expensive works of art to the humblest everyday vessels. This lecture illustrates some of the many ways they did so, raising the art of writing to its most sublime and transforming it into one of the most distinctive features of Islamic visual culture.
