Art of Islam. Language and Meaning
Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
This book is addressed to the very essence of Islam art. It sets out the basic principles, thanks to which you can open the door leading to the storehouses of this art, wherever they are found. The author represents Islamic art as a direct derivacy from the principles and forms of Islamic revelation, and not as trembled high historical supplements, which many other historians of art wanted to convince us. Burkhardt begins with the genesis, and in the world of forms - from Kaaba. The author holds the reader through the main aspects of Islamic art and the participation of this art in the liturgy to the polarization of nomadic and sedentary peoples, to the great synthesis of Islamic art and architecture and, finally, to the Islamic city. The study of Islamic or any other sacred art taken with a well-known objectivity may contribute to a more or less deep understanding of spiritual truths underlying the entire space and human world. In this way, the "Art History" exceeds the level of regular and simple history
