A good introduction to several artistic traditions,
By sgkr (New Hampton, NH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Treasures from an Ancient Land: The Art of Jordan (Art/architecture) (Paperback)
This book is an engaging, well-illustrated, readable introduction to several Jordanian artistic traditions. While not a book for serious researchers (it's a little too general if you have expertise in a specific area), it's an excellent starting point. Many of the chapters have been written by recognized experts in their fields, such as Michele Piccirillo's esasy on mosaics. Other topics addressed include sculpture, pottery, writing, costume, and folk jewelry. It's nice to see a book about Jordanian art, an area of the Near East that is so often overlooked.
