“A picture is worth a thousand words.” That quoted phrase, so popular in America for at least a century, has almost become a cliche. Its origin is unclear but seems to stem from the effectiveness of graphics in advertising. It has since come to be applied to any artistic image that can convey something of importance much more quickly than words can, and sometimes convey some things nonverbally that cannot even be expressed in an infinite number of words. Moreover, since art can have healing aspects, as in art therapy, and Islamophobia has been so refractory to being “cured,” art, as presented in the images displayed, may have a place in its treatment.

摘要

“A picture is worth a thousand words.” That quoted phrase, so popular in America for at least a century, has almost become a cliche. Its origin is unclear but seems to stem from the effectiveness of graphics in advertising. It has since come to be applied to any artistic image that can convey something of importance much more quickly than words can, and sometimes convey some things nonverbally that cannot even be expressed in an infinite number of words. Moreover, since art can have healing aspects, as in art therapy, and Islamophobia has been so refractory to being “cured,” art, as presented in the images displayed, may have a place in its treatment.
