The Making of Islamic Art
Edinburgh University Press (Verlag)
9781474434294 (ISBN)
In their own words, Jonathan Bloom and Sheila Blair espouse ‘things and thinginess rather than theories and isations’. This book’s practical, down-to-earth dimension, expressed in plain, simple English, runs counter to the current fashion for theoretical explanations and their accompanying jargon when exploring the world of Islamic art. Its many insights, firmly anchored in artistic practice in architecture, painting and the decorative arts, are supported by ample technical know-how. The range is wide – mosques becoming temples; how religious buildings reflect politics; Yemeni frescoes and inscriptions; domestic Syrian 18th-century ornament; Egyptian bookbinding techniques; recycling and repair in Damascene crafts; conservation versus restoration; narrative on ceramics; metalwork with architectural motifs; lost buildings reconstructed; how objects speak;Muslim burials in China; the role of migrating potters; Mughal painting; stone carpet weights; the use of metals in Islamic manuscripts, calligraphy and modern artists’ books.
Professor Robert Hillenbrand is Professor Emeritus of Islamic Art the University of Edinburgh and Professor of Islamic Art at the University of St Andrews.
