Your understanding that the portrayal of the B�b and Bah�'u'll�h in works of
art is forbidden, is correct. The Guardian made it clear that this
prohibition refers to all Manifestations of God;
From a letter by the Universal House of Justice, December 3, 1972.
(Compilations, Lights of Guidance, p. 539)
Hmm. Wouldn't the paintings of Baha'u'llah and the Bab at the World Centre constitute "works of art?" If they don't, what exactly is a work of art? Are we not supposed to be seeing those paintings? Did the Guardian allow pilgrim's to see them?
