However, a closer study of this perios can reveal that there has also always been a fascination with the subjects of birth, renewal, and new beginnings. Many of the art forms of our century exhibit a profound and purposeful break from the past and can be understood as a continuing attempt by modern artists to create a unique and unprecedented visual language for the age in which we live. This article looks at the works of some twentieth-centur artists to show that, whether they were aware of the Baha’i Revelation or not, many of these artists have been compelled to express the quiet, yet unmistakable theme of a "new creation."</p>}, number={1}, journal={The Journal of Bahá’í Studies}, author={Badiee, Julie}, year={1995}, month={Mar.}, pages={1–21} }
