Book excerpt: The beauty, elegance and variety of Ottoman works of art are the subject of this book. The Ottoman Empire was the last of the great medieval Islamic dynasties. Its power reached from Persia to Vienna and encompassed the eastern Mediterranean. The great imperial city of Constantinople, the nexus between East and West, became its capital--renamed Istanbul--and the center of culture and artistic craftsmanship in the Moslem world. The geographic location and the intensification of trade exposed the empire to a flood of influences from as far as Venice and even China and gave the Ottoman court a taste for luxurious and valuable products, a taste which the Sultans cultivated and sustained by their patronage. In the Classical Ottoman period (fifteenth to seventeenth centuries), the period with which the book is primarily concerned, Ottoman art reached extraordinary heights of perfection. Though the court artists working in the nakkashane (imperial workshops) were liberal in their response to outside influences, they never failed to modify them and give their art a uniquely Ottoman quality. Several distinct styles, incorporating influences from all corners of the empire and beyond, emerged to form a consistent repertoire which was to dominate the arts of this period throughout the Ottoman world. For the various sections of the book, the editor has brought together a team of eminent specialists, each of whose contributions develop this theme. Tulips, Arabesques & Turbans lavishly illustrates and documents the artifacts of an age. Much of the material reproduced here and included in a companion exhibition that will be seen at a number of American museums has never been shown before. Included are the Golden Horn and Rhodian ceramics from İznik, opulent silks from Bursa, exquisitely illuminated manuscripts and a rich array of Ottoman metalwork, an area largely unknown in the West. This volume is a visual treasure and will serve as a handbook on Ottoman decorative arts. -- Inside jacket flap.
Book Synopsis Histories of Ornament by : Gülru Necipoğlu
Download or read book Histories of Ornament written by Gülru Necipoğlu and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-08 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lavishly illustrated volume is the first major global history of ornament from the Middle Ages to today. Crossing historical and geographical boundaries in unprecedented ways and considering the role of ornament in both art and architecture, Histories of Ornament offers a nuanced examination that integrates medieval, Renaissance, baroque, and modern Euroamerican traditions with their Islamic, Indian, Chinese, and Mesoamerican counterparts. At a time when ornament has re-emerged in architectural practice and is a topic of growing interest to art and architectural historians, the book reveals how the long history of ornament illuminates its global resurgence today. Organized by thematic sections on the significance, influence, and role of ornament, the book addresses ornament's current revival in architecture, its historiography and theories, its transcontinental mobility in medieval and early modern Europe and the Middle East, and its place in the context of industrialization and modernism. Throughout, Histories of Ornament emphasizes the portability and politics of ornament, figuration versus abstraction, cross-cultural dialogues, and the constant negotiation of local and global traditions. Featuring original essays by more than two dozen scholars from around the world, this authoritative and wide-ranging book provides an indispensable reference on the histories of ornament in a global context.

Download or read book Persian Art written by Vladimir Lukonin and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 766 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Housed in the Hermitage Museum along with other institutes, libraries, and museums in Russia and the republics of the former Soviet Union are some of the most magnificent treasures of Persian Art. For the most part, many of these works have been lost, but have been catalogued and published here for the first time with an unsurpassed selection of colour plates. In a comprehensive introduction, Vladimir Lukonin, Director of the Oriental Art section of the Hermitage Museum, and his colleague Anatoli Ivanov have broadly documented the major developments of Persian Art: from the first signs of civilisation on the plains of Iran around the 10thcentury BCE through the early 20th century. In the second part of the book they have catalogued Persian Art giving locations, origins, descriptions, and artist biographies where available. Persian Art demonstrates a common theme which runs through the art of the region over the past three millennia. Despite many religious and political upheavals, Persian Art whether in its architecture, sculpture, frescoes, miniatures, porcelain, fabrics, or rugs; whether in the work of the humble craftsmen or the high art of court painters displays the delicate touch and subtle refinement which has had a profound influence on art throughout the world.
