Info
Affinities are at once bonds of kinship and proximity; this is the appropriate term to evoke the relationship between Islamic arts and the Department of Decorative Arts. Not only have these works circulated since the Middle Ages between East and West, but they have inspired European decorative arts through their technique or decoration. For more than a century, Islamic arts were exhibited in the Department of Decorative Arts. It is this dialogue between these two collections that the exhibition seeks to renew today, around three cross-cutting themes: light, color, and sculpture.
