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." - Dr Linda Komaroff, associate curator of Islamic Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art. ISLAMIC AND TRADITIONAL ART Introduction to Islamic art This illustrated introduction links history with artistic developments and covers the early Islamic early medieval late medieval and later Islamic periods. It is based around the extensive collection of works at Los Angeles County Museum of Art, ranging in date from the seventh to the 19th century and geographically from southern Spain to Central Asia.

Extractions: Contact Us Staff Authority and collector Khalili to explore glories of Islamic art By David J. Craig Islamic religion and culture may be poorly understood in the West, but the intrinsic beauty of Islamic art, with its exquisite use of color and sophisticated balance of design and form, is immediately and universally appealing. And in recent years, Western scholars have begun to seriously study Islamic art in its own context in order to better understand the cultures from which it derives, rather than simply appreciating the art in accordance with Western aesthetics. Iron and steel war mask made in the late 15th century, possibly in Akkoyunlu, a state founded by Turkoman tribes in 1350 and stretching from the Caspian Sea to modern-day Syria during its 15th-century heyday. The owner of one of the most important Islamic art collections in the world and a scholar and benefactor of Islamic art of international standing, Nasser David Khalili will present a lecture entitled The Art of Islam: A Glorious Tradition, at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, February 10, at the Tsai Performance Center at 685 Commonwealth Ave. The event is free and open to the public.

Islam islamic art and Architecture Introduction to islamic art by Zarah Hussain Islamicart is vibrant and distinctive, and creates an immediate visual impact.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/features/art/index.shtml

Extractions: Islamic art is vibrant and distinctive, and creates an immediate visual impact. Unlike "Christian art", Islamic art isn't restricted to religious art, but includes all the artistic traditions in Muslim culture. Its strong aesthetic appeal transcends time and space, as well as differences in language and culture. This is because of common features in all Islamic art which give it a remarkable coherence, regardless of the country or the time in which it was created. There are, however, strong regional characteristics, and influences from other cultures are also visible. The Essentials of Islamic art Includes all Muslim art, not just explicitly religious art

Extractions: Over 300 Works from the Collection of Stuart Cary Welch, Curator Emeritus, Islamic and Later Indian Art, Arthur M. Sackler Museum, and Former Senior Lecturer, Harvard University Works Come from One of the Finest Collections of Its Kind in Private Hands and Continue the Long Tradition of Harvard Alumni and Scholars Furthering the Collections of the Art Museums "We are deeply moved by Cary’s generosity. He is widely regarded as the leading connoisseur of Turko-Indo-Iranian art in the West, as well as being a legendary teacher and influential curator and author," said Cuno. "For more than forty years, Cary has shared his knowledge of and love for the arts of Islam and India with students, colleagues, friends, and the museum-going public. His gift will ensure that Harvard students for many generations to come have the opportunity to study and be inspired by the arts of these cultures." In making this gift, Mr. Welch stated: "Students at Harvard have the immense privilege, as I did in my student days, of examining and sometimes handling collections unrivaled by those in other university art museums. Eyes and brains are nurtured by close contact with the arts of the entire world. And Harvard’s great art museums offer precisely that opportunity to students. As a curator, I most loved planning and carrying out exhibitions; as well, teaching has always been deeply satisfying to me. Showing and explaining works of art to enthusiastic, motivated students at Harvard was a central part of my experience there. For me, sharing a work of art with another person doubles its quality and meaning."
