DESCRIPTION:Department of History of Art & Visual Studies Findley Lecture S
 eries.\n\nJoin us for a talk by Murad Khan Mumtaz\, (Associate Professor\,
  Williams College).\n\nThis Findley Lecture will take place in the AD Whit
 e House's Guerlac Room.\n\n \n\nAbstract\n\nIslamic art is often misrepres
 ented as an iconophobic tradition. As a result of this assumption\, the po
 lyvalence of figural artworks made for Hindustan’s Muslim audiences has 
 remained hidden in plain view. By combining an art historical survey with 
 an analysis of primary Indo-Persian literature\, this talk shows how figur
 ative painting was intimately linked to a unique Indo-Muslim religious exp
 ression that had a wide circulation across South Asia.\n\n \n\nBiography\n
 \nMurad Khan Mumtaz is an associate professor in the Art Department at Wil
 liams College. He examines historical intersections of art\, literature an
 d religious expression in South Asia\, with a primary focus on Indo-Muslim
  patronage. By combining art history with textual analysis\, his recent bo
 ok\, Faces of God: Images of Devotion in Indo-Muslim Painting (Brill\, 202
 3)\, examines the cultural contexts within which these Islamicate images o
 f devotion were made and viewed. Murad is also an artist trained in tradit
 ional Hindustani painting techniques which he teaches at Williams. His wor
 k has been shown in solo and group exhibitions internationally.
