2001-01-19 until 2001-04-22
Metropolitan Museum of Art
New York, NY,
USA
This exhibition will examine the elegant calligraphy of the acknowledged master of
nastacliq-the writing style likened to flying geese that was favored in 15th- and
16th-century Iran for poetical texts-and two of his famous pupils.
Some twenty
examples of manuscripts and specimen pages, many enlivened with brilliant
illumination, will be drawn from the Museum's holdings, supplemented by a few works
from outside collections.
The exhibition is made possible by The Hagop Kevorkian Fund.
