A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Islamic art has long been misunderstood in the West as no more than decoration. This study explains how the geometrical patterns of Islamic art reveal intrinsic cosmological laws. The primary function of the patterns is to lead the mind from the literal world towards the underlying reality.

� propos de l?auteur

Dr. Keith Critchlow is the co-founder of the journal Temenos, as well as the author of numerous books on sacred geometry. He is Professor Emeritus at The Prince’s School of Traditional Arts in London, and a former professor of Islamic Art at the Royal College of Art.
