Islamic art is on ornamentation rather than on art for art’s sake; while the names of the finest works of Islamic art may not have survived, their works have become prototypes and models on which other artists and craftsmen patterned their works, or from which they derived the impetus for related work. An example of this is a small pouch embellished with cross-stitch embroidery and ornamented with coins.

Islamic Art Calligraphy

Islamic art is truly a wonderful reservoir of Islamic antiquities. Calligraphy as one of Islamic art is also the art of a civilization based on the Islamic religion. It’s prime between the years 800 through 1700. The Arabs themselves had very little art, but during their conquests came in contact with the flourishing art of Persia, Syria, and Egypt.

Islamic art not only invites a closer look but also beckons the viewer to learn more. For an American audience a visit to the Islamic galleries of a museum such as the Los Angeles county museum of art can represent the first step toward penetrating the history of a religion and a culture that are often in the news but are little understood.

Anyway, Islamic art have significant rule and history for every Muslim in the world. Because the exists of Muslim never can be separate from art and history of Islam.
