“Before the art of illumination there was blackness and afterward there will also be blackness. Through our colors, paints, art and love, we remember that Allah had commanded us to ‘See’! . . . All great masters, in their work, seek that profound void within color and outside time.”
—Orhan Pamuk, My Name is Red, 2001.
