Iransaga - Introduction To Islamic Art
INTRODUCTION TO islamic art.
http://www.art-arena.com/islamic.htm

Extractions: Period The Arab conquest in the 7 th century AD brought Persia into the Islamic community; however, it was in Persia that the new movement in Islamic art met its severest test. Contact with a people of high artistic achievement and ancient culture made a deep impression on the conquering Moslems. When the Abbasids made Baghdad their capital (near the former capital of the Sassanian rulers), a vast stream of Persian influences came pouring in. The caliphs accepted the Old Persian culture; a policy also followed at the courts of the relatively independent local principalities (The Samanids, The Buwayhids etc.), which led to a conscious revival of Persian traditions in art and literature. Wherever possible, the cultural inheritance of Persian art was infused with new life, and customs thoroughly foreign to Islam were retained or newly introduced. Islamic art (paintings, metalwork etc.) was heavily influenced by Sassanian methods and Persian vaulting techniques were adopted in Islamic architecture. Few secular buildings of the early period have survived, but judging from the remains it is probable that they retained many features of the Sassanian palaces, such as the "domed audience chamber" and "the ground plan arranged around a central court". The main change that this period brought to the development of art was to restrict the depiction of lifelike portraits, or true-life representations of historical events.

Extractions: Through The Centuries The long prehistoric period in Iran, is known to us mostly from excavation work carried out in a few key sites, which has led to a chronology of distinct periods, each one characterised by the development of certain types of pottery, artefacts and architecture. Pottery is one of the oldest Persian art forms, and examples have been unearthed from burial mounds (Tappeh), dating back from the 5 th millennium BC. The "Animal style" which uses decorative animal motifs is very strong in the Persian culture first appearing in pottery, reappearing much later in the Luristan bronzes and again in Scythian art. During the Achaemenian and Sassanian periods, metal-work continued its ornamental development. Some of the most beautiful examples of metal-ware are gilded silver cups and dishes decorated with royal hunting scenes from the Sassanian Dynasty. The earliest known distinctive style of Persian painting dates back to the Seljuk period, which is often referred to as the "Baghdad School". Early painting was mainly used to decorate manuscripts and versions of the Holy Koran, though some 13 th century pottery found near Tehran indicates an early, unique Persian style of art. During the Mongol period, paintings were used to decorate all sorts of books.

It influenced the development of much of Eastern Europe and became a repository of all of the Classical learning, keeping it safe until Medieval Europe was ready for the Renaissance. During the seventh century, the religion of Islam arose in the Middle East and within a hundred years, its followers had built an empire larger than the Roman Empire at its height.

Extractions: One of the richly illustrated manuscripts of the sixteenth century is the Zubdat-al Tawarikh in the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts in Istanbul, dedicated to Sultan Murad III in 1583. The manuscript contains forty miniatures of the finest quality reflecting the mature Ottoman court style of the latter part of the sixteenth century. Celestial map, signs of the Zodiac and lunar mansions. Adam and Eve with their twin children. In addition to the Zubdat al-Tawarikh in the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Works, two other copies of Lokman's work exist in Topkap² Saray museum Library H. 1321, dated 1586, and Dublin, Chester Beatty Librar, no.414, dated 1573. The manuscript is rather large in size (64,7x41,3 cm.) with ninety-one folios and forty miniatures, twenty-three of which illustrate the stories of the prophets, five are portraits of the caliphs and the founders of the Islamic rites and the last twelve are portraits of the first twelve Ottoman sultans. The manuscript's miniatures are of great significance iconographical and stylistically leading to a deeper insight to Turkish religious art and portraiture.

Islamic Art Museum of Islamic Art The Museum of Islamic Art is one of Cairo's three main museums and houses a superb collection of antiquities from the different Islamic periods of Egypt's history. Visitors interested in Islamic art and design should not miss this museum. The objects on display have been collected from many mosques and other monuments and it has become one of the world's most important Islamic museums. The collection was originally housed in the National Library which was built in 1881. The library has since been relocated and has made more space available for the exhibits. There are artefacts from each era of Islamic rule and they are arranged either in chronological order of periods, or in subjects. There are collections of textiles, glassware, tapestries and ceramics and calligraphy from throughout the Muslim world. There are fine collections of mosque lamps, intricate mushrabiyya window screens and pulpits, inlaid metalwork and Iranian and Turkish carpets and prayer mats displayed in the 23 rooms. One of the rooms is devoted to weaponry, including medieval swords and suits of armour, another to illuminated Qur'anic manuscripts, calligraphy and books, including some 'Persian Miniatures'. The oldest of the parchment fragments dates back to the 8th century.

http://dannyreviews.com/h/Islamic_Art.html

Extractions: Art, Architecture and the Literary World Laurence King 1997 Amazon A book review by Danny Yee Islamic Art is an illustrated history that takes a broad approach, covering architecture, crafts, and aesthetics as well as "art" in the narrow sense, and placing them within their social and historical context. It extends to around 1700, but does not cover the entire Islamic world, only the arid area from Morocco to Afghanistan. Irwin begins with Islam's inheritance from the Byzantines, the Sasanians, and pre-Islamic Arab culture; he touches on the Islamic sense of the past and aesthetic of ruins. This is followed by a rapid survey of the Islamic world and Islamic history. Mosques are central to Islamic architecture, but have by no means been static. "Minarets may now be seen as entirely characteristic of Muslim religious architecture, but the very first mosques had none." Patronage was critical, and rulers often reworked earlier buildings, making major monuments "architectural palimpsests". The ban on representations of humans is perhaps the best known aspect of Islamic art, but

http://www.eapgroup.com/islamic1.htm

Extractions: Top What's New? Suad Al Attar, Garden of Eden, 1993, oil on canvas Although widely used in art history as well as mass media, the phrase Islamic Art is more of a term of convenience than an accurate definition of the art produced through the past few centuries in lands inhabited by Muslim communities or ruled by Muslim caliphs or kings. The subject of 'contemporary Islamic art' similarly is fraught with controversy: is the art really Islamic or simply contemporary art from 'Islamic' states or countries with majority Muslim populations? Or is it art created by artists who wish to assert their Islamic/Muslim identities? Some of the best known 'Muslim/Islamic' art Mughal art from the 15 century onwards and its modern manifestations does not even come from a Muslim/Islamic country, India, though its Muslim minority is the largest in a modern political entity. Added to these problems of definition and identity is the divergence of positions assumed by or ascribed to present-day artists from Muslim communities. Like artists drawn from other denominations Jews, Buddhists and indeed Christians Muslim artists do not often wish to be seen within a religious framework. In the event these pages of Eastern Art Report Online concentrate on classical and traditional Islamic rather than 'contemporary Islamic' art. Much of the latter can be gleaned from the webpages devoted to South Asia, Southeast Asia, Iran, Turkey and the Arab world as well as contemporary European art.

Books/Links Comments and suggestions, please email info@salaam.co.uk The art of Islam is essentially a contemplative art, which aims to express above all, an encounter with the Divine Presence. The origin of Islamic art has often tried to be explained through tracing it back to some precedent in Byzantine, Sassanid, Coptic or other art, yet what is lost sight of, is the intrinsic and original unity of Islamic art and thus the 'seal' that Islam conferred on all borrowed elements. In order to understand the essence of Islamic art it is first necessary to realise the different conceptions of art itself. From the European point of view, the criterion of an artistic culture lies in its capacity to represent nature and even more in its capacity to portray man. From the Islamic point of view, on the contrary, the main scope of art is not the imitation or description of nature - the work of man will never equal the art of God - but the shaping of the human ambience. Art has to endow all the objects with which man naturally surrounds himself - a house, a fountain, a drinking vessel, a garment, a carpet - with the perfection each object can posses according to its own nature. Islamic art does not add something alien to the objects that it shapes; it merely brings out their essential qualities.

Capital with Inscription Tortosa Casket Almoravid and Almohad Rules The Almoravids reacted against the extravagance of Taifa art in the beginning, but eventually succumbed to the luxury culture of al-Andalus. Art and architectue were now drawn across the Strait of Gibraltar, as artisans from the peninsula worked in Marrakesh and Fez. Architecture took on a news conservatism in plan and a decorative simplicity conveyed by stuccoed brick piers and keel-arched arcades.
