Art exhibition displays paintings inspired by the bicentenary An art exhibition in Montreal, Canada, displays one artist’s reflections, captured in paintings, on the life and teachings of the Báb. “I was always very inspired by (the Báb’s early writings), the way that the calligraphy was placed on the page, the expression in the line,” the artist explains. The works are inspired by different concepts, such as devotion to God and the relationship between the intellect and the spirit.
