Impact of culture of a country on art of calligraphy and Inter influence of art of calligraphy across Silk Road countries
Abstract:
Art has no boundary, in cross culture it shares same roots. Art significantly influence the norms, trust and attitude of people and builds a society on the roots of harmony even in resilient territories. This phenomenon brings the logic of art acceptance and increases the value of expatriate art in foreign lands. The emergence of art influence brings diversification in contemporary art although the traditional calligraphy shows very minor modification and variation.
The Silk Road is a big source of combining and introducing the art and culture of the countries it crosses. Though most of the countries share same foundation of religion Islam so they have inter influence of art, calligraphy and culture. The modification and diversification in traditional khatt style is very appreciated and accepted warmly in cross border, and that is why master calligrapher of one country is also respected as master calligrapher and his rules are followed in other countries.
Our topic of discussion is the differentiation of calligraphy in different regions of my country and also the influence of foreign art of calligraphy in home country. When an artist combines all the festive and warmth of culture in one frame holding all the traditions and norms firmly becomes a whole representativeness of his country. Similarly, when an artist efforts to combine the traditional art of other countries in one artwork through specific elements by moving from primitive style of calligraphy to medieval period of Ottoman era to the modern art in one artwork in khatt Kufi is my focused topic of discussion, for my artwork “Hilye Sharif”.
