It has always been thought that the East is a delicate matter, as evidenced by the heightened attention of various people to its colorful mystery and rare beauty.
Many centuries ago, ordinary people were veryreligious, and religion itself is very influenced by almost all aspects of life. Not paid attention to religious figures and art, which in the East has its own "zest".
Большим разнообразием цветов, форм и богатым the eastern ornament has content. The fact is that Muslims are strictly forbidden to somehow depict any living beings. But just as water is always able to find a channel for itself, so a person with any prohibition most often finds workarounds. Unable to depict sentient beings, Muslims sublimated all the strength of their talent into oriental ornaments.
Art critics say that ornaments in the East exist in two forms:
1. Islimi.This type of ornament is distinguished by the fact that the pattern combines two symbols: a spiral and a stem of a plant. Islimi is most often used to decorate clothes, dishes, carpets and other household items.
2. Girih.Oriental ornaments of this type are distinguished by the fact that they use a certain geometric pattern, similar to a knot. It consists of different geometric shapes, such as a rhombus, a star, a rectangle.
It should also be noted that many oriental ornaments are not accessible to most people, due to the fact
Regarding this cultural traditiononly to regret, because the clothes of Muslim women always have a beautiful appearance, which was created in order to emphasize the individual style of a woman. It is also an interesting fact that the patterns, stencils in the ornaments of the East are not just decoration: it is a means for a person to express himself with the help of special signs and symbols.
In oriental culture is also knowntechnological pattern that depicts the details of fasteners or bindings that have been lost due to improved production technology. For example, art historians explain the woven mesh pattern that is on top of ceramic vessels by the existing production technology, which was long before the appearance of the potter's wheel. So, at first a frame was made of rods, which were then coated with clay. Late pattern left
The ornament usually performs the function of the frame. This is well seen in oriental carpets.
If we compare the ornament with a specific subjectimage, the first makes sense more hidden and deep, and the image methods can be called gaming equipment. In the process of artistic play, light, water, sky or earth will be symbolically depicted on the surface in a certain tone or combination of patterns.
