Aspects of Art
This book provides a simple introduction to the theory and practice of art. A guide for teachers as well as students, it is a point of departure from which, it is hoped, art history and related disciplines will become more accessible, motivating students of art and applied arts (e.g. architecture, graphics, ceramics, textiles etc.) to explore for themselves great examples of art and their creators, from pre-history to the present.

Modernism and the Art of Muslim South Asia
This pioneering work traces the emergence of the modern and contemporary art of Muslim South Asia in relation to transnational modernism and in light of the region’s intellectual, cultural, and political developments.

Images of Thought
With many illustrations and diagrams, Images of Thought provides easy to follow ways in which to read Indian, Persian and European paintings in terms of composition, proportion, colour symbolism and references to myth. Yet it also provides the intellectual contexts of Islamic cultures which inform our perceptions of how this visual language works. The author uses salient aspects of critical theory, anthropology and theology to sensitise viewers to the diversity and difference of cultural readings but never loses sight of the primacy of the visual and formal characteristics, gestures, geometrical structures and their cooperation with myths and theologemes. The book provides access to one of the world’s major visual traditions whose characteristics continue to inform and elucidate Indian and Islamic contemporary thought today. Images of Thought is a major, scholarly and provocative contribution not only to our understanding of cultural individuality but it offers important examples of how to engage in transcultural understanding and ways of seeing.
