What is "Islamic" Art?

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Investigating what is Islamic about Islamic art through analysis of the Qur'an, Hadith, Sufi texts, ancient philosophy, and a rich corpus of transcultural poetry, Shaw challenges the historicism, secularism, and regionalism of traditional art history with new means of perceiving Islamic painting, music, and geometric pattern.
