imitation。”

Unable  to  look  me  straight  in  the  eye;  he  assumed  an  unexpected  gentle

manner;  and  begging  my  passion  as  much  as  my  honesty;  he  asked  me;

trembling like a maiden:

“Do I have a style of my own?”

I thought tears would flow from my eyes。 With all the gentleness; sympathy

and kindness I could muster; I hastened to tell him what I believed to be the

truth:

“You  are  the  most  talented;  divinely  inspired  artist  with  the  most

enchanted touch and eye for detail that I’ve seen in all my sixty years。 If you

put a painting before me which had seen the bined work of a thousand

miniaturists; I’d still be able to recognize instantly the God…given magnificence

of your pen。”

“Agreed; but I know you’re not wise enough to appreciate the mystery of

my  skill;”  he  said。  “You’re  lying;  now;  because  you’re  afraid  of  me。  Describe;

once again; the character of my methods。”

“Your pen selects the right line seemingly of its own accord; as if without

your touch。 What your pen draws is neither truthful nor frivolous! When you

portray a crowded gathering; the tension emerging from the glances between

figures;   their   positioning   on   the   page   and   the   meaning   of   the   text

metamorphose  into  an  elegant  eternal  whisper。  I  return  to  your  paintings

again and again to hear that whisper; and each time; I realize with a smile that

the meaning has changed; and how shall I put it; I begin to read the painting

anew。 When these layers of meaning are taken together; a depth emerges that

surpasses even the perspectivism of the European masters。”

“Fine  and  well。  Forget  about  the  European  masters。  Start  from  the

beginning。”

“You  have  such  a  truly  magnificent  and  forceful  line;  that  the  observer

believes in what you’ve painted rather than in reality itself。 And just as your

talent  could  create  a  picture  that  would  force  the  most  devout  man  to

renounce  his  faith;  it  could  also  bring  the  most  hopeless;  unrepentant

unbeliever to Allah’s path。”
