The Human Figure in Islamic Art focuses on an unusually and rarely elucidated subject in the world of Islamic art: human depictions. Depictions of man were considered objectionable from an orthodox Muslim point of view since only God can create life, and man should not try to emulate God's work. There was concern that depictions or those who were depicted could be worshipped, something that went against the dogma that only God, Allah, should be the object of worship. This book and the eponymous exhibition present 75 works from the David Collection, from utility ware to miniature paintings, divided into themes including The Religious Sphere, Depictions Of Women, Depictions Of Everyday Life, all introduced by an essay. Light is also shed on the mutual in influence of Islamic and European art.
