Islamic Art: Art, the Revealer of the Realms of Existence محادثة ومقابلة

ملخص الجهاز:

Of course, thought is of two kinds, meaning, the active intellectual apparatus exists in two parts of existence: One is in the "mind," which thinks about "knowledge-based issues" (and in the terminology of the ancients, "matters of excellence"), and here the examination of dimensions, shapes, sizes, and the like are raised; those which are called "school sciences" and are entirely "mental matters. Therefore, the "artist" (with the "meaning" that we derive from it), when they want to undertake an artistic work, "emotion" is their first movement that takes shape, and their entire existence finds direction toward that matter; their eye, their ear, their mind, and their senses, their heart, and everything they possess of "knowable, understandable, and spiritual elements," and even all their tastes and literature, and even their philosophy and religion, in short, all of them come to the service of "emotion" and manifest themselves, and the artist, with the presence of all these, looks at their intended matter. And the artist must work in a way like an architect, under whom there is an engineer, a painter, a calligrapher, a stucco artist, and an inscription writer, and all different people from every art and industry are working alongside him and under his command, but they work with his lines, plans, views, and thoughts so that their collective construction can provide a "unified form" such that that "form" realizes an acceptable space for the person living within this building, in the hope that it creates the "expected state".
