Ivan Aguéli

Posted under art, tasawwuf by rahma

I have a huge stack of documents sitting on my living room floor that I brought home to do over the long weekend, so of course, I decided to go through the Shadhili wiki article and click on all the links instead.  Ah, procrastination at it’s finest.

 In the course of my clicking, I happened upon the article of one Ivan Aguéli, a swedish convert to Islam, sufi and impressionist/symbolist painter.  How cool is that?

Playing follow the links, I then stumbled upon an early 20th century french movement called Traditionalism.
