## Description

desertcart.com: What is 'Islamic' Art?: Between Religion and Perception: 9781108474658: Shaw, Wendy M. K.: Books

Review: Timely and thought provoking - Though originally considered controversial, I find Said’s contemplation of the notion of “the other” to be timely and spot on. I think he’s an excellent writer- not over the top but to the point. A seminal book on the subject.
Review: More than calligraphy ! - The answer to the book's title is richly provided within. Islamic art - after dealing eloquently with the wrong-headed notions of Islam being against figural representation or only worthy our gaze when it fits western ideas of classical art - is what people bring to it. The illustrations are gorgeous! We are grateful to Professor Shaw for this signal contribution to art history and Islamic Studies!
