Detroit Institute Of Arts : Permanent Collection - Ancient Art - Islamic Art
Explains the origins of the Islamic faith while presenting the museum's collection of religious art. Discover work by the Seljuks and Mamluks. The arabesque, derived from the classical vine scroll, evolved into islamic art's most distinctive motif.
http://www.dia.org/collections/ancient/islamicart/islamicart.html

Extractions: The faith of Islam arose in western Arabia with God's revelation to the Prophet Muhammad (ca. 570-632) by the angel Gabriel. These sacred messages were written down by 651 as the holy book, the Qur'an. In 622 Muhammad left Mecca for Medina in a journey called the hijra which marks the beginning of the Muslim calendar (1 A.H.). In 630 he designated Mecca the spiritual and geographical center of Islam. Islam demonstrates its faith in the building of religious monuments and the illumination of the Qur'an and celebrates all aspects of daily life by adorning the most humble of objects. Arabic calligraphy was the vehicle that spread the message of Islam and thus became the central, most venerated art form. The arabesque, derived from the classical vine scroll, evolved into Islamic art's most distinctive motif.
Islamic Art Indroduction
Los Angeles County Museum of Art introduces Islamic architecture, decorative arts, and calligraphy, from the time of Muhammad through the C18th.
http://www.lacma.org/islamic_art/intro.htm

Extractions: Introduction Islamic art is perhaps the most accessible manifestation of a complex civilization that often seems enigmatic to outsiders. Through its brilliant use of color and its superb balance between design and form, Islamic art creates an immediate visual impact. Its strong aesthetic appeal transcends distances in time and space, as well as differences in language, culture, and creed. Islamic art not only invites a closer look but also beckons the viewer to learn more. For an American audience a visit to the Islamic galleries of a museum such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art can represent the first step toward penetrating the history of a religion and a culture that are often in the news but are little understood. The term Islamic art may be confusing to some. It not only describes the art created specifically in the service of Islam Calligraphy is the most important and pervasive element in Islamic art. It has always been considered the noblest form of art because of its association with the Another characteristic of Islamic art is a preference for covering surfaces with patterns composed of geometric or vegetal elements. Complex geometric designs, as well as intricate patterns of vegetal ornament (such as the arabesque), create the impression of unending repetition, which is believed by some to be an inducement to contemplate the infinite nature of God. This type of nonrepresentational decoration may have been developed to such a high degree in Islamic art because of the absence of figural imagery, at least within a religious context.
