  • Islamic Art from the Collection, Oct. 23, 2020 - Dec
    It Comes in Many Forms: Islamic Art from the Collection, Oct. 23, 2020 - Dec. 18, 2021 This exhibition presents textiles, decorative arts, and works on paper that show the breadth of Islamic artistic production and the diversity of Muslim cultures. Throughout the world for nearly 1,400 years, Islam’s creative expressions have taken many forms—as artworks, functional objects and tools, decoration, fashion, and critique. From a medieval Persian ewer to contemporary clothing, these objects explore migration, diasporas, and exchange. What makes an object Islamic? Does the artist need to be a practicing Muslim? Is being Muslim a religious expression or a cultural one? Do makers need to be from a predominantly Muslim country? Does the subject matter need to include traditionally Islamic motifs? These objects, a majority of which have never been exhibited before, suggest the difficulty of defining arts from a transnational religious viewpoint. These exhibition labels add honorifics whenever important figures in Islam are mentioned. SWT is an acronym for subhanahu wa-ta'ala (glorious and exalted is he), a respectful phrase used after every mention of Allah (God). SAW is an acronym for salallahu alayhi wa-sallam (may the blessings and the peace of Allah be upon him), used for the Prophet Muhammad, the founder and last messenger of Islam. AS is an acronym for alayhi as-sallam (peace be upon him), and is used for all other prophets before him.

  • Geometrical and Floral Motifs in Indian Islamic Paintings
    GEOMETRICAL AND FLORAL MOTIFS IN INDIAN ISLAMIC PAINTINGS ABSTRACT OF THE ^y THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE Of Boctor of pt)tlQ£(op{ip FINE ARTS \ *^ BY FARAH KHAN Under the Supervision of DR. TALAT SHAKEEL DEPARTMENT OF FINE ARTS ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2009 31 MAR 2011 ABSTRACT Decorative motif is a special branch of fine arts which has great aesthetic expression power. Different decorative motifs were used in different times as per personal whims of artists and the prevailing conditions. They have many elements like geometric patterns, floral motifs or simple patterns of Islamic art. But geometric patterns dominate because of their meaningful expression and outward beauty. Icons and motifs reveal sensuous, formal or stylistic values of metaphysics, religion and existing spiritual experiences. These motifs and forms are very popular in paintings of Islamic period and are developed considerably well by Muslim artists. This does not mean that their works were based on religious themes. These paintings displayed muslim cultures and were subject to rules and spirit of Islam. Here we are discussing the bases of Islamic art because Islam stands for peace and visualizes truth in an easy and balancing form in life. It encourages spread of culture and art within bounds of decency and morality. In the early days of Islam there were no figures or picture in mosques, schools and residential houses and this type of arts was not encouraged. However the passage of time and growth of cultural integration led to use of decorated wall paintings and portraits of natural scenes and illumination of manuscripts and textiles.

    Knipe et al. Herit Sci (2018) 6:55 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40494-018-0217-y RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Materials and techniques of Islamic manuscripts Penley Knipe1, Katherine Eremin1*, Marc Walton2, Agnese Babini2 and Georgina Rayner1 Abstract Over 50 works on paper from Egypt, Iraq, Iran and Central Asia dated from the 13th to 19th centuries were examined and analyzed at the Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies. Forty-six of these were detached folios, some of which had been removed from the same dispersed manuscript. Paintings and illuminations from fve intact manuscripts were also examined and analyzed, although not all of the individual works were included. The study was undertaken to better understand the materials and techniques used to create paintings and illuminations from the Islamic World, with particular attention paid to the diversity of greens, blues and yellows present. The research aimed to determine the full range of colorants, the extent of pigment mixing and the various preparatory drawing materials. The issue of binding materials was also addressed, albeit in a preliminary way. Keywords: Islamic manuscript, Islamic painting, XRF, Raman, FTIR, Imaging, Hyperspectral imaging Introduction project have been assigned to a particular town or region An ongoing interdisciplinary study at the Harvard Art and/or are well dated.
