Aesthetics of Islamic art in modern art schools as an entrance to artistic glass design

Islamic art is considered one of the richest arts ever known to humanity, as Islamic art contains distinct and unique spiritual values ​​in addition to many artistic and aesthetic characteristics that are unique to this art. The influence of this art is evident in many of the modern artistic trends and schools that appeared in Europe in the early twentieth century, such as Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Abstraction, and other artistic trends, whose artists tended to draw inspiration from its plastic aesthetic values, such as Henri Matisse, Bob Klee, Picasso, Mondrian, and Paul Gauguin. Some of them went after Islamic art in the Far East, and some of them studied it through exhibitions of Islamic art, not by imitating it or transmitting it directly without creativity. Rather, it was to create works of art with a special character, and they were particularly influenced by the Islamic arts of the Maghreb countries, which were visited by many artists of those schools, such as the artist Henri Matisse and artist Paul Klee, which can be used to achieve new plastic formulations in the field of glass design in general and the field of artistic glass design in particular.
