Revealing what is 'Islamic' in Islamic art, Shaw explores the
perception of arts, including painting, music, and geometry through
the discursive sphere of historical Islam including the Qur'an,
Hadith, Sufism, ancient philosophy, and poetry. Emphasis on the
experience of reception over the context of production enables a
new approach, not only to Islam and its arts, but also as a
decolonizing model for global approaches to art history. Shaw
combines a concise introduction to Islamic intellectual history
with a critique of the modern, secular, and European premises of
disciplinary art history. Her meticulous interpretations of
intertextual themes span antique philosophies, core religious and
theological texts, and prominent prose and poetry in Arabic,
Persian, Turkish, and Urdu that circulated across regions of
Islamic hegemony from the eleventh century to the colonial and
post-colonial contexts of the modern Middle East.
