ARTstor New Collection: Islamic Art

Approximately 1,500 images of Islamic Art have been added to the ARTstor digital library. These images illustrate patterns and designs found throughout the Islamic world, from the Middle East and Europe to Central and South Asia.

David Wade photographed the works during his travels, as well as drawings and diagrams he produced for publication and the images are reflective of Wade's particular interest in symmetry and geometry.

To view the David Wade: Pattern in Islamic Art collection: go to the ARTstor Digital Library, browse by collection, and click "David Wade: Pattern in Islamic Art;" or enter the Keyword Search: patterninislamicart .

To view ARTstor from off campus locations you need to create an ARTstor account at http://www.artstor.org/ from any on campus computer.
