    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.

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. Examination of folios from a single Museums is investigating the materials and techniques manuscript, including those now detached and dispersed used to embellish folios1 from Islamic manuscripts and as well as those still bound as a volume, enabled investi- albums created from the 13th through the 19th centuries.

    Instabilities in the Identity of an Artistic Tradition as "Persian," “Islamic," and “Iranian” in the Shadow of Orientalism A Dissertation Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Trent University Peterborough, Canada © Copyright by Nooshin Aghayan 2019 Cultural Studies Ph.D. Graduate Program May 2019 Abstract Instabilities in the Identity of an Artistic Tradition as "Persian," “Islamic," and “Iranian” in the Shadow of Orientalism Nooshin Aghayan This dissertation is a critical review of the discursive formation of Islamic art in the twentieth century and the continuing problems that the early categorization of this discipline carries. It deals with the impact of these problems on the conceptualization of another category, Persian art. The subject is expounded by three propositions. First, the category of Islamic art was initially a product of Orientalism formulated regardless of the indigenous/Islamic knowledge of art. Second, during the early period when art historians examined different theoretical dimensions for constructing an aesthetic of Islamic art in the West, they imposed a temporal framework on Islamic art in which excluded the non-traditional and contemporary art of Islamic countries. Third, after the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Iranian scholars eventually imposed academic authority over the discipline of Persian/Islamic art, they adopted the same inadequate methodologies that were initially used in some of the early studies on the art of the Muslims. These propositions are elaborated by examples from twentieth-century Iranian movements in painting, The Coffeehouse Painting and The School of Saqqakhaneh, and the incident of swapping Willem de Kooning‟s painting Woman III with the dismembered manuscript of the Shahnama of Shah Tahmasp in 1994.

Journal of History Culture and Art Research, 6(4), 112-126. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.7596/taksad.v6i4.1121 Strange Animals and Creatures in Islamic Miniatures: Focusing on Miniatures of the Conference of the Birds Neda Rohani1 Abstract Strange animals and creatures have always existed in every mythological culture. In Iran's pre-Islamic and post-Islamic miniatures and reliefs, there are many strange animals and creatures such as dragons and phoenix which were associated with the Iranian culture and civilization. Because of presence of these strange creatures, particularly human life, these creatures are first used in mythological life and then symbolically to express human ideas. However, these animals were present in both mythology and epics and, later in the Islamic era, in the mystical stories, educational stories and admonishing anecdotes like Sanai, Attar, and Rumi. This study tends to investigate genealogy of strange animals and creatures in ancient Iranian reliefs and their continued presence in miniatures of Islamic era as well as presence of these creatures in miniatures which are based on Attar’s Conference of the Birds. In fact, this study reviews elements and symbolic concepts of animals, allowing a deeper understanding of function of elements and symbolism in works of Iranian miniaturists.

    Studies in Islamic Civilization: the Muslim Contribution to the Renaissance

    STUDIES Cover_Layout 1 03/08/2012 14:22 Page 1 IIIT Books-In-Brief Series is a valuable collection of the Institute’s key publications written in condensed form to STUDIES IN ISLAMIC CIVILIZATION give readers a core understanding of the main contents of the original. the MUSLIM CONTRIBUTION Studies in Islamic Civilization draws upon the works of Western scholars to make the case that without the tremendous contribution of the Muslim world there would have been no Renaissance in Europe. For to the Renaissance almost a thousand years Islam was arguably one of the leading civiliza - tions of the world spanning a geographic area greater than any other. It eliminated social distinctions between classes and races, made clear that people should enjoy the bounties of the earth provided they did not ignore morals and ethics, and rescued knowledge that would have been lost, if not forever, then at least for centuries. The genius of its scholars triggered the intellectual tradition of Europe and for over seven hundred years its language, Arabic, was the international language of science. Strange then that its legacy lies largely ignored and buried in time. Studies in Islamic Civilization is a compelling attempt to redress this wrong and restore the historical truths of a “golden age” that ush - ered in the Islamic renaissance, and as a by-product that of the West. John Esposito, University Professor & Director of the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, Georgetown University, USA Studies in Islamic Civilization is a must-read for scholars, students and non-specialists alike, demonstrating the world class civilization created by Muslims and its forgotten and long-overlooked contributions to Western civilization.
