Was just talking today about the difference in techniques of gardening in Japan VS. England....and how looking into them helps one to understand the mindset of the culture. Of course, the same is true with the "common" style of art found in a certain culture. This style of typical Islamic art, that uses these patterns I was fortunate enough to have encountered when I was 14 and traveling around Southern Spain. I also traveled to Morocco and Tunisia. I remember being just hypnotized by the beauty. After only a few weeks, the ubiquitous designs began to filter down into my dreams. Islamic geometric art is stunning. I get the feeling and by default some of the beauty, complexity, repetition, deepness, and intelligence found in the culture.
One of the rare times I watch an entire video that is more than 30 minutes. That's not very entertaining but very interesting indeed! Good work, good work.
I saw a 3 part TV programme on UK BBC4 about the Silk Road. I can't remember the presenter but I seem to remember him saying that the intricate geometric patterns were to honour Mohammed as it was against their belief/religion to represent him as an idol or human image.
Sir,there is no denying that islamic monuments/mosques make extensive use of complex geometric repetitive designs in colors on the walls,what has come to be known as islamic decorative art. One reason for this may be the strict forbiddance of depicting any living beings including humans and replacing them with flower,leaves,stems designs.
