Visions of the Sacred

Kim MacQueen's attentive and enlightening exploration into the work and methods of twelve Bahá'í artists allows us to examine how a shared spiritual inspiration can be translated into varied artistic forms and imaginative modes. In this study, she demonstrates that the creative impulse, even if drawing on the same essential source-the coherent framework of reality that the Bahá'í Faith provides-produces an array of artistic responses, like the array of colors that emanate from a prism by a single beam of light.
