伊斯兰艺术(Islamic arts)

指信奉伊斯兰教地区的大众从7世纪以来所创造的文学、音乐和视觉艺术。伊斯兰视觉艺术富於装饰作用，色彩鲜艳，就宗教艺术来说，是非具象的。典型的伊斯兰装饰图案称为阿拉伯装饰风格。从西元750年到11世纪中叶，是陶器、玻璃制品、金属制造品、纺织品、手稿插图和木工兴盛的时期；虹彩玻璃是伊斯兰对陶瓷艺术最伟大的贡献。手稿插图也是一门重要而备受尊敬的艺术，而细密画为伊朗在蒙古入侵（1220～1260）以後的时期最伟大也最具特色的艺术。书法艺术不仅被用在手抄经书上，同时也是建筑和其他装饰中重要的特色。伊斯兰的诗及散文以阿拉伯语、波斯语、土耳其语和乌尔都语?a href='http://www.baiven.com/baike/223/310864.html' target='_blank' style='color:#136ec2'>闹钟镅孕闯伞０⒗镒魑沂疽了估冀毯汀犊衫季返挠镅裕泳灾匾牡匚弧Ｒ了估家衾治恢值ヒ粢衾郑挥泻鸵簦涮厣陟督谧嗪托墒橇礁霾煌南低常灰缘ハ呓械男晌髡箍髦肿笆危⑶抑厥右衾置业募聪硌荨Ｒ了估家衾滞ǔＳ梢桓鲂⌒秃献嗤叛葑啵匆幻枋趾褪制魇忠远莱屠制鞯难葑嘟惶姹硌荨＠制靼舜蚧骼制鳌⒐芾制骱拖依制鞯龋渲凶罹咛厣氖?a href='http://www.baiven.com/baike/224/281571.html' target='_blank' style='color:#136ec2'>乌德琴。

Islamic arts

Visual, literary, and musical arts of the populations that adopted Islam from the 7th century. Islamic visual arts are decorative, colorful, and, in religious art, nonrepresentational; the characteristic Islamic decoration is the arabesque. From AD 750 to the mid-11th century, ceramics, glass, metalwork, textiles, illuminated manuscripts, and woodwork flourished; lustered glass became the greatest Islamic contribution to ceramics. Manuscript illumination became an important and greatly respected art, and miniature painting flourished in Iran after the Mongol invasions (1220-60). Calligraphy, an essential aspect of written Arabic, developed in manuscripts and architectural decoration. Islamic poetry and prose are written in Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and Urdu, Arabic retaining the greatest prestige and importance. Islamic music is monophonic, devoid of harmony, and characterized by distinctive systems of rhythms and melodies; microtones are used for ornamentation. It is usually performed by a singer and a small ensemble of percussion, wind, and bowed and plucked stringed instruments, of which the most characteristic is the ud. See also Islamic architecture.
