FAQ About The Influence of Islamic Art on Global Aesthetics
How does Islamic art differ from Western art traditions?
Islamic art differs from Western art primarily in its focus on aniconism and the extensive use of abstract and geometric patterns. While Western art has traditionally centered around naturalistic representations and human figures, Islamic art emphasizes non-figurative elements, prioritizing calligraphy and geometry. This reflects a different cultural approach to artistic expression, rooted in religious and philosophical traditions.
