Podcast Description:
Dr. Christiane Gruber presented her lecture on February 4th, 2009, entitled, "Real Absence: Picturing God in Islamic Art." This presentation examines the ways in which Persian and Turkish artists have attempted to represent God‐or at least convey a sense of the divine‐in their paintings produced from ca. 1300 to today. This lecture was a part of a series of Central Eurasian Studies Colloquia organized by the Denis Sinor Research Institute for Inner Asian Studies at Indiana University.
