Islamic Art - Review

Arts & Activities,  Dec, 2001  by Ivan E. Johnson,  Jerome J. Hausman

[BOOK] ISLAMIC ART (1999; $19.95), by Robert Hilldenbrand. Thames & Hudson Inc., 500 Fifth Ave., New York, NY 10110.

In these days of political instability we have little access to Islamic art and architecture. It's fortunate that Robert Hilldenbrand has again published a very impressive new book, Islamic Art and Architecture. His earlier works on Islamic art have been an important source in art history for students. Hilldenbrand's writing, eye for key details and authenticity are particularly important factors in illuminating this significant body of art.--I.E.J. For information about this publication, circle No. 388 on the Reader Service Card.
