I love the pointillism style used by Betty and also the energy and movement she captures in this painting.

If you are still here with me, if in this darkness
there is still some place where your spirit resonates
on the shallow sound-waves stirred up by my voice:
hear me; help me.

What a fascinating thread ! Looking forward to learning more about the chosen objects. I loved the British Museums ‘History of the World in 100 Objects’.
Alright *cracks knuckles* let's do this!

Today I'm inaugurating an episodic Monday series titled History of Islamic Art in 100 Objects. But we have to ask the most important question first:

What is Islamic art? Also, why is this even a question? 🧵 #IslamicArt100Objects
