Regarding the importance of theoretical arguments about Islamic Art,
a serious and coherence theory of Islamic Art and its philosophical
fundamentals is needed more than ever. What historians, Traditionalists
and critics present in their works fails to shed light on all aspects
of Islamic Art. Lately, there has been published a booklet by Doctor
Hassan Bolkhari under the title of “Ghadr: A Fundamental Theory of
Art, Architecture, and Beauty in Islamic Civilization”. I’ve studied
that booklet and found some of its ideas disputable. Parts of the booklet’s
core ideas were previously published in “Mystical Rudiments of
Islamic Art and Architecture” by same author. Here I am to discuss
some of the basic ideas and concepts of the booklet and provide some
insights on them.
