It’s probably as disingenuous to criticize ‘Islamic Art’ as not being a true form of art as making a similar criticism of “Christian Art”.

This is a thread examining Islamic art. Why don’t you do your own thread on examining Christian art since that is not the topic of this thead.

My post was about Islamic art in their architecture. IMHO, far more architectural works labeled ‘Islamic’, were previously Christian or Jewish architectures before they were seized by Muslims. E.g. the Temple Mount.

Alhambra, though followed the reverse trend. If one studies Alhambra they can learn to identify some trends attributable to that religion, distinct from others.

Not a fair response.
It's usually liberals who simply exclude opinions that don't agree with their own.

What we know as Moorish architecture can be very pleasing and quite advanced.

It seems telling that we don't see that sort of thing anywhere in "modern" islamic societies.

As to art itself, the images posted at #18 take me back to post RVN days.
They seem like poor rip offs of Buddhist and Hindu art but requiring a pretty good high for proper appreciation.
