Excellent- More about In the Name of the Image: Figurative Representation in Islamic and Christian Cultures
Images are the cornerstone of culture, but they can also be a source of ideology and distorted perception. This exhibition catalogue offers a look at the unusual histories of art and their currency in the world today, between the extremes of idolatry and iconoclasm.

Images are the cornerstone of culture, encapsulating a society's understanding of itself at a glance. They serve as agents of a common perspective, witnessing and shaping the world around them. However, there is a perception of ideology and distortion surrounding images. Christianity and Islam, two polarizing religions, exist in a field of tension, oscillating between idolatry and iconoclasm. Their histories are marked by extremes, sometimes leaning towards one direction and other times seeking a conciliatory balance.
Beyond theological debates, this tension creates a realm of aesthetic distinctions and approaches. This exhibition catalogue presents a visually captivating and informative exploration of these unique histories of art and their significance in the world today.
