Micrography
open-in-new
<p>Micrography , also called microcalligraphy, is a <a href="/facts/Jew/T9Y4wE6A">Jewish</a> form of <a href="/facts/Calligram/5T1E7sF0">calligrams</a> developed in the 9th century, with parallels in Christianity and Islam, utilizing minute <a href="/facts/Hebrew_alphabet/qQStmr5u">Hebrew letters</a> to form representational, geometric and abstract designs. Colored micrography is especially distinctive because these rare artworks are customarily rendered in black and white. </p>
