The essays demonstrate that the arts of that era were vibrant and diverse, making ingenious use of native traditions and materials or adopting imported conventions and new technologies. However, traditionalists, revivalists and modernists all referred in one way or another to an Islamic heritage, whether to reinvent, revive or reject it. Beginning with an historical introduction and an assessment of changing attitudes towards the visual arts the following essays provide case studies of architecture and art in Ottoman Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, sub-Saharan Africa, Iran, Central Asia, India and the Caribbean. They examine such issues as patronage, sources of artistic inspiration and responses to European art." -- excerpt from page 4 of cover Art, Modern 19th century Islamic art Art islamique (RERO)A021098646 rero 19e siècle (RERO)A021017258 rero Behrens-Abouseif Doris 1946- (IDREF)028733835 Vernoit Stephen (IDREF)035820497 BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 Metadata rights reserved rero RERO RE61045 RE61045 RE610450001 N 1 a BEH BFLA 284860 RERO 700 1- Behrens-Abouseif Doris 1946- (IDREF)028733835 RERO 700 1- Vernoit Stephen (IDREF)035820497 SWISSBIB 291967086
