Review Splendours of an Islamic World: The Art and Architecture of the Mamluks / I. B. Tauris:Few know of the reign of the Mamluks, but all will appreciate the beauty of the art and architecture they left behind. The reign of the Mamluks marked a breathtaking flowering of Islamic art. Their control of trade across much of the Middle East ensured a steady flow of funds into Mamluk coffers, which supported the artistic output that made Cairo, in the words of Ibn Khaldun, "the center of the universe and the garden of the world. " This book shows off the majestic domes, courtyards, and soaring minarets that won Cairo its high praise. Those interested in Islamic history will be enthralled by the examination of sites, and general readers will enjoy learning more about this little-known facet of the world's cultural heritage.

Review FRANK L WRIGHT INDEX 5V / Garland Science:Ask Americans to think of a famous architect and the person they are most likely to name is Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright's work, his reputation, and his long and colorful career have made him an icon of modern American architecture. But despite his status as America's most celebrated architect, his influence throughout an active practice spanning the years 1896 to 1959 is so wide and complex that it has been difficult to grasp fully. The essays in this book look not at the United States, the context usually associated with Wright, but at countries around the globe. Anthony Alofsin has assembled a superb collection of scholars to examine Wright's importance from Japan to Great Britain, France to Chile, Mexico to Russia, and the Middle East. Interwoven in the essays are stories of champions and critics, rivals and acolytes, books and exhibitions, attitudes toward America and individualism, and the many ways Wright's ideas were brought to the world. Together the essays represent a first look at Wright's impact abroad, some from the perspective of natives of the countries discussed and others from that of informed outsiders. Of special note is Bruno Zevi's firsthand account of traveling with Wright in Italy. Zevi was instrumental in bringing Wright's ideas to Italy and in helping launch the movement for organic architecture. Of unusual interest in light of today's events in Iraq is Mina Marefat's essay on Wright's elaborate designs for a cultural center for the city of Baghdad. [+]The Baghdad projects, which were never realized after the assassination of King Faisal II, were Wright's principal focus in his last decade. In searching out the little known rather than reexamining the well-established aspects of Frank Lloyd Wright's work, this collection is a rewarding exploration of his vision and influence.

Review Mahmoud Farshchian / NYU Press:On account of their extraordinary draftsmanship, their wide coloristic range and innate sense of the decorative aspect, the drawings and paintings of Mr. Mahmoud Farshchian are in the true tradition of the great Iranian painters. - Dr. Richard Ettinghausen, Director, The Department of Islamic Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 1969- 1979I am always amazed at the beautiful draftsmanship and the skill displayed in the paintings by Farshchian. - Dr. Harold P. Stern, Director, Smithsonian Institute, Freer Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, 1971-1977It is a pleasure to show the imaginative creations of Mr. Farshchian, who surely must be considered among the most talented contemporary artists. - Daniel M. MacMaster, former President, Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago, IL The latter-day inheritor of the long and illustrious tradition of classical Persian painting, Mahmoud Farshchian is a recognized master of every element of this medium, from architecture and figure painting to arabesques, ornamental animals, still life, and cloud-bands. [+]In this unprecedented and lavishly produced volume, Farshchian presents his most powerful and influential works. A scholar artist steeped in the classical Persian repertoire, Farshchian first received international recognition with an exhibit at the Art Institute of Istanbul in 1960 and, later that same year, through another one-man exhibit at the Golestan Museum in Teheran. Since then, major exhibitions of his work have been held in Milan, Rome, Munich, Vienna, Algiers, Paris, Washington, DC, New York, Chicago. This unique volume highlights this remarkable career.

Review Gio Ponti: The Complete Work, 1923-1978 / The MIT Press:This is the first complete survey and thematic profile of one of the most prolific and accomplished Italian architects of the century. From the Richard-Ginori chinaware and the founding of Domus magazine in the 1920s and '3Os, to the Pirelli tower erected in Milan in the 1950s to the "facade" architecture of the '70s, Gio Ponti has been a major force in the shaping of twentieth-century Italian design. The Complete Work presents a fully illustrated decade-by-decade account of Ponti's vast output in interior and industrial design, decorative arts, and architecture. It describes his powerful influence on generations of Italian designers, his contributions to Italy's urban culture, and his role as a propagandist and editor. Gio Ponti was not only an architect but a poet, painter, polemicist, and designer of exhibitions, theater costumes, Venini glassware, Arthur Krupp tableware, Cassina furniture, lighting fixtures, and ocean liner interiors. He is perhaps best known as the architect of Milan's Pirelli tower, at one time the tallest building in Europe, and for his "Super-leggera" chair which was first manufactured in the '50s and has become classic because of its almost universal use in Italian restaurants. Above all, Ponti was responsible for the renewal of Italian architecture and decorative arts. Drawing upon the legacy of the Viennese Secession and the Wiener Werkstatte, he transformed "classical" language into a rationalist vocabulary. The entire photographic archive of Ponti's studio, together with his unpublished writings, were made available for the first time for the preparation of this book. There are many new photographs of his work and a broad selection of his letters, diaries and essays. [+]A biographical profile, bibliography, and chronologies of works, exhibitions, and sales round out this stunning book Lisa Licitra Ponti is curator of the Ponti Archives, She is also a well-known art and architecture critic. She collaborated with her father from 1940 until his death in 1979.
