This book was released on 2019-07-30 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This major reference work covers all aspects of architectural inscriptions in the Muslim world: the artists and their patrons, what inscriptions add to architectural design, what materials were used, what their purpose was and how they infuse buildings with meaning. From Spain to China, and from the Middle Ages to our own lifetime, Islamic architecture and calligraphy are inexorably intertwined. Mosques, dervish lodges, mausolea, libraries, even baths and market places bear masterpieces of calligraphy that rival the most refined of books and scrolls.

Download or read book Persian Pottery in the First Global Age written by Lisa Golombek and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-12-09 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Persian Pottery in the First Global Age: the Sixteenth and Seventeeth Centuries studies the ceramic industry of Iran in the Safavid period (1501–1732) and the impact which the influx of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain, heightened by the activities of the English and Dutch East Indies Companies after c. 1700, had on local production. The multidisciplinary approach of the authors (Lisa Golombek, Robert B. Mason, Patricia Proctor, Eileen Reilly) leads to a reconstruction of the narrative about Safavid pottery and revises commonly accepted notions. The book includes easily accessible reference charts to assist in dating and provenancing Safavid pottery on the basis of diagnostic motifs, potters’ marks, petrofabrics, shapes, and Chinese models.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These essays are the revised and updated version of four lectures given in the Yarshater Lecture Series, at SOAS in London in 2013. They concern some aspects of the arts from pre-modern Iran and India, namely, the “making of” of Persian illustrated manuscripts, the iconography of Kashan wares, the use and re-use of luster tiles in Ilkhanid Iran, and the glazed tiles made in three Indian sultanates (Delhi, Bengal and Malwa). These four topics share concepts of influence and impact, although inflected on different modes. The productions they embody represent many poles of influence, even if working on different scales, from the extensive diffusion of products, techniques, and systems to almost isolated productions.

Download or read book From Ordinary to Luxury written by Pierre Siméon and published by Dr Ludwig Reichert. This book was released on 2020 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 188 pieces of glazed and unglazed pottery from The University Museum of Islamic Art are studied and grouped into categories of surface treatment. The collection?s asset is its wide range of medieval material, geographically spreading from Iran through the today Central Asian republics as far as Afghanistan. 0The chapters are preceded by a short introduction by the category treated and, if the material allows, completed by a thorough discussion and analysis of the group. As such, the spheroconical vessels for example are comprehensively treated including a discussion of the archaeological and textual sources that for the first time allow a convincing interpretation of this particular group. 0As far as possible attributions, comparisons and references also to unknown collections and finds even from remote sites top off the entry of each object and make it available for further study. To make the study complete, each object is described and thoroughly documented with a profile drawing and several colour photographs. Furthermore, the integration of the relevant bibliography including the Russian works that are inaccessible for most of the readers, but essential for the understanding of the material, gives new insights into the scholarly approach to Islamic ceramics from Central Asia. 0The Collection was assembled by the late Manfred Bumiller (1928-2018) from 1981 on, originally planned as a collection of Iranian medieval metalwork, but soon completed by a considerable number of ceramics of different qualities.

Download or read book Contemporary Art from the Middle East written by Hamid Keshmirshekan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-06 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is home-grown contemporary art viewed within the Middle East? And is it understood differently outside the region? What is liable to be lost when contemporary art from the Middle East is 'transferred' to international contexts - and how can it be reclaimed? This timely book tackles ongoing questions about how 'local' perspectives on contemporary art from the Middle East are defined and how these perspectives intersect with global art discourses. Inside, leading figures from the Middle Eastern art world, western art historians, art theorists and museum curators discuss the historical and cultural circumstances which have shaped contemporary art from the Middle East, reflecting on recent exhibitions and curatorial projects and revealing how artists have struggled with the label of 'Middle Eastern Artist'. Chapters reflect on the fundamental methodologies of art history and cultural studies - considering how relevant they are when studying contemporary art from the Middle East - and investigate the ways in which contemporary, so-called 'global', theories impact on the making of art in the region. Drawing on their unique expertise, the book's contributors offer completely new perspectives on the most recent cultural, intellectual and socio-political developments of contemporary art from the Middle East.
