Read about artist Nasreen Mohamedi's Met Breuer exhibition on today's blog post. Her work is on view through June 5. "The opening section of the retrospective includes Mohamedi’s early pen and ink drawings, paintings on canvas, black-and-white photographs, prints, and watercolors, each of which was created with a limited palette occasionally interrupted by color. Some of these drawings imply recognizable forms such as trees and branches. Despite Mohamedi’s familiarity with Western art, and the abstract nature of her drawings that distinguished her practice from her contemporaries, certain characteristics of her work reflect the impact of Sufi Poetry and resonate with geometric abstraction and calligraphy in Islamic aesthetics." -Alma Sinai, Communications Intern
