Islamic Art (From the 6th century) During the holy month of Ramadan in 610 CE, a merchant named al-Amin ("the Trusted One") sought solitude in a cave on Mount Hira, a few miles north of Mecca, in Arabia. On that night, (as Muslims believe) the angel Gabriel has appeared to him and commanded him to recite revelations from God. In that moment this merchant became Muhammad, the "Messenger of God". The revelations dictated by Gabriel at Mecca formed the basis of a religion called Islam ("submission to God's will"), whose adherents are referred to as Muslims. Today, nearly a billion Muslims turn five times a day toward Mecca to pray. Unlike the strong tradition of portraying the human figure in Christian art, Islamic art is often associated with the arabesque style. Early Islam forbade the painting of human beings, including the Prophet, as Muslims believe this tempts followers of the Prophet to idolatry. A prohibition against depicting representational images in religious art, as well as the naturally decorative nature of Arabic script, led to the use of calligraphic decorations, which usually involved repeating geometrical patterns that expressed ideals of order and nature. It was used on religious architecture, carpets, and handwritten documents.

Islamic architecture finds its highest expression in the mosque and related religious buildings. Early Islamic religious architecture drew upon Christian architectural features such as domes, columnar arches, and mosaics, but also included large courtyards for congregational prayer. Religious architecture came into its own in the period of the caliphates with the creation of the hypostyle mosque in Iraq and Egypt. Islamic literature is written in four main languages: Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and Urdu. Arabic is of overwhelming importance as the language of the revelation of Islam and of the Qur' a n . The Persians used the genres, forms, and rules of Arabic poetry in their own language but elaborated on them. They also developed a new genre, the

28. BRIEF HISTORY OF ISLAMIC ART short essay on the contributions of islamic art to architecture, pottery, carpet making, painting, metal working and silks. http://www.youngartists.com/islamic.htm

Islamic Art: I slamic art is often defined in art books as being an art whose boundaries are not geographical but theological. That is, this style of art called Islamic, was produced in many different geographic regions whose diverse cultures were unified through the religion of Islam. This is correct. Then these same books typically cite the Islamic ban on figural representation as a defining characteristic of the style. Next, they give some explanation as to why they believe that figural art was created in these areas, anyway. Finally, they go on to discuss the figural pieces right alongside the non-figural pieces as examples of Islamic Art. This is incorrect. The Islamic religion still forbids the representation of figures and so, naturally, to call any art which contains figural representation "Islamic", is erroneous and offensive to Moslems (believers). For this reason, on this site at least, we will make a distinction between the figural representations (see miniature painting ) and the non-figural pieces, which may be properly termed and discussed as Islamic art. A New Culture I slam began as a religious movement in early 7th century Arabia and quickly spread throughout the Middle East. Before the next century Muslems had conquered and converted Byzantium and Persia, as well as parts of Asia, Africa and Europe. For the next six centuries, until the Mongol nomads sacked the Muslem capital of Baghdad in 1258, the nation of Islam was the world's largest empire and the site of a great cultural flowering.

Collections Collections: Arts of the Islamic World Number of objects: more than 2,200 Historical range: The phrases "arts of the Islamic World" and "Islamic art" refer to a variety of artistic traditions that have flourished since the advent of Islam in the late seventh century across a vast geographic area ranging from southern Spain and North Africa to the islands of Southeast Asia. While different regions developed their own distinctive styles, they also share certain characteristics, such as the use of calligraphy to transform simple objects into works of art or the use of abstract designs to decorate works intended for religious contexts. The continuous movement of artists, patrons, and objects throughout the Islamic world has played a critical role in determining the dynamic nature of its artistic tradition. The Freer and Sackler galleries have one of the finest collections of Islamic art in the United States, with particular strengths in ceramics and illustrated manuscripts.
