N2  - "The first monograph to successfully address the dual questions of the development of painting in the Islamic lands in the 19th and 20th centuries and the significance of an indigenous 20th-century artistic tradition ... presents a lucid and objective discussion of provocative questions related to the evolution of contemporary painting from Islamic lands, including the role of colonial institutions, indigenous patronage, art education, and the formation of a national artistic identity" -- Layla S. Diba, associate curator for Islamic art, Brooklyn Museum Distributed by Syndetic Solutions, Inc
