Mohamed Zakariya, Islamic Calligrapher - Hardcover
Mohamed Zakariya, Islamic Calligrapher features the work of Mohamed Zakariya, a noted practitioner, scholar, and teacher of the art of calligraphy who resides in Alexandria, Virginia. Calligraphy is the premier art form of the Islamic world and is often thought to possess a divine power through its relationship to sacred texts. This catalog, published to accompany the exhibition at Bellevue Arts Museum, explores eighteen examples of his work in a variety of traditional and experimental scripts, in most cases surrounded by exquisite illumination or marbling. Each piece in the fully illustrated catalog is accompanied by full translation of the text. The artist writes," Words are the raw material of calligraphy, which is never divorced from meaning. But like music, true calligraphy also works on a wordless level, the level on which all great art functions."
