About The Work
In 2006, Bill Viola released a rare limited edition lithographic print of a drawing, featuring text from the 16th century Sufi romance, Madhumalati.
Written by the Indian Sufi mystic Mir Sayyid Manjhan Shattari Rajgiri, Madhumalati tells the love story of prince Manohar and princess Madhumalati who must suffer separation and self-transformation before coming together in true happiness. The Hindavi Suvi romances suggest awakening love between a transcendent god-head and the human world in a journey of self-transformation and the balancing of the physical and metaphysical world.
