Giovedi 12 Novembre alle 18:15 – Conferenza: Introduction to Islamic Art; arabesque, calligraphy & geometry – Auditorium Club House

In the West the word “art” produces mental images of paintings, frescos and large-scale sculpture. But these (although not unknown) are not the focus of Islamic Art which rather expresses itself in books, architecture and the treasure filled world of the decorative arts.

Keynote speaker: Art historian Serena Spinelli
She holds a Bachelor of Arts with high honours in Art History and a Master of Arts from the University of East Anglia (UK) and a diploma from Sotheby’s Institute in London
