Reviews
" An in-depth look at the difference between "Islamic art" and "Arab art" and well as the inherent similarities. The book offers further examinations into Arab creativity, modernity and tradition, Arab Cultures, nationalism, the influence of Western art, globalization, and Orientalism, among other topics. This book should help encourage further investigations of this new and interesting art. Recommended."

"An important achievement that should lead to further questions about modern art in the Arab world. A work of great interest that raises the bar for future studies of modern art and of cultural history in the Arab world."
--Middle East Journal
"Nicely adorned visually with several score attractive and instructive illustrations, and deserves a place in library collections including global art holdings."
--Religion and the Arts
Readers who are unaware of the broader context within which Arabic art operates will find much to learn here.
