نظرة عامة

\"Word into Art\" is a definitive study of the revolutionary ways in which contemporary artists from the Middle East and North Africa have utilized the Arabic script as a medium for modern artistic expression. Written by Venetia Porter, Curator of Islamic and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art at the British Museum, the volume documents a pivotal shift in the 20th and 21st centuries: the movement from traditional Islamic calligraphy toward Hurufiyya (the Letter Movement). The work explores how the \"Word\"—sacred, poetic, and political—has been deconstructed, abstracted, and reinvented across various media, including painting, sculpture, and digital art, to navigate the complexities of modern Arab, Persian, and Turkish identity.
