Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. Size: 9x6x1; Dust jacket condition: Very Good. Very nice and clean. Text free of highlighting and writing. Tightly bound. Since 1979 interest in Islamic art has increased but in the past, published work has usually dealt with form rather than content. In this book, by contrast. Dr Okasha surveys the relation of Islam itself to Islamic painting and tries to explain an apparent paradoxâ? ? that while Islam has nevertheless pervaded and inspired the art of the Persians, Arabs and Turks since their conversion to its doctrines, there is little in Islam that corresponds to the paintings of Biblical and legendary subjects so common in Christian Europe. Dr Okasha first surveys the tenets of Islam in relation to painting â? ? suggesting that the supposed hostility to figural representation may be an accretion to primitive Islamâ? ? and then examines how Islamic painters depicted the acknowledged prophets of Islam (most of them already familiar from the Bible and culminating in Muhammad himself), the famous mystics who followed, and finally, the Islamic conception of the afterworld. Although his examination concentrates on the content of these depictions, there is some discussion of iconography and of the differences between Western and Islamic methods. The book is copiously illustrated with 30 subjects in colour and 67 in monochrome. These examples come mostly from manuscripts (there is little other painting in Islam) and have been chosen not only from those already famous for their artistry but also from lesser-known volumes and even from the popular art of today. 158 pages.
