Iqbal's Theory of Art

Abstract

Art is another name for the creation of beauty. From the ancient Greeks to the modern critics and thinkers have presented different ideas about art.  Iqbal also expressed his ideas about art.  His ideas do not go beyond the boundaries of Islamic teachings.  He did not oppose the art, but defined its rightful place and was convinced by the heart of the artist's creation.  According to Iqbal, objectivity and utility in art are very important. Iqbal was against any art that takes away from life and crushes individuality.  Iqbal was convinced of the creation of such art that is rich in self-enlivening and refreshing pleasure creation. As a whole, Iqbal's theory of art is very lively and healthy.
