Remarkable for its intricacy, grace, and almost spiritual beauty, Islamic calligraphy is part of the rich cultural heritage of Turkey, Memphis in May's honored country for 2008. Following a tradition that avoided figurative art, including the human image, Muslim calligraphers developed Arabic writing into an art form. The Brooks is proud to host this select group of works that demonstrate the vital presence of calligraphy in the modern Islamic world.
