Arts of Allusion: Object, Ornament, and Architecture in Medieval Islam
Graves, Margaret S. (Assistant Professor, Assistant Professor, Indiana University, Bloomington)
Through close studies of ceramics, metalwares and other plastic arts from the ninth to the thirteenth centuries, Arts of Allusion reveals the object as a crucial site where pre-modern craftsmen of the eastern Mediterranean and Persianate realms engaged in fertile dialogue with poetry, literature, painting, and--most strikingly--architecture.
