Afghan art has spanned many centuries. In contrast to its independence and isolation in recent centuries, ancient and medieval Afghanistan spent long periods as part of large empires, which mostly also included parts of modern Pakistan and north India, as well as Iran. Afghan cities were often sometimes among the capitals or main cities of these, as with the Kushan Empire, and later the Mughal Empire. In addition some routes of the Silk Road to and from China pass through Afghanistan, bringing influences from both the east and west.

  • Afghan art has spanned many centuries. In contrast to its independence and isolation in recent centuries, ancient and medieval Afghanistan spent long periods as part of large empires, which mostly also included parts of modern Pakistan and north India, as well as Iran. Afghan cities were often sometimes among the capitals or main cities of these, as with the Kushan Empire, and later the Mughal Empire. In addition some routes of the Silk Road to and from China pass through Afghanistan, bringing influences from both the east and west. One of the most significant periods is the Gandharan art made between the 1st and 7th centuries developing out of Greco-Buddhist art. With the arrival of Islam, later Afghanistan was for long periods part of Persianate states, and its art was often an important part of Persian art and Islamic art in general. Since the 1900s, the nation began to use Western techniques in art. Afghanistan's art in many media was originally almost entirely done by men, although women were greatly involved in other media, but recently women are entering the arts programs at Kabul University. Art is largely centred at the National Museum of Afghanistan, the and the National Archives of Afghanistan in Kabul. There are a number of art schools in the country. The Center for Contemporary Arts Afghanistan (CCAA) in Kabul provides young people an opportunity to learn contemporary painting. In recent decades, war and deliberate iconoclasm have caused a great amount of destruction of Afghanistan's artistic heritage. (en)
  • L'art afghan a traversé de nombreux siècles. Contrairement à son indépendance et à son isolement au cours des derniers siècles, l'Afghanistan antique et médiéval a longtemps fait partie de grands empires, qui comprenaient la plupart du temps des parties du Pakistan et du nord de l'Inde modernes, ainsi que l'Iran. Les villes afghanes figuraient parfois parmi les capitales ou les villes principales de ces empires, comme c'était le cas pour l'Empire kouchan et, plus tard, l'Empire moghol. En outre, certains itinéraires de la route de la soie à destination et en provenance de la Chine passent par l'Afghanistan, apportant des influences de l'Orient et de l'Occident. L'une des périodes les plus significatives est celle de l'art gandharien, qui s'est développée entre le Ier et le VIIe siècle à partir de l'art gréco-bouddhique. Avec l'arrivée de l'islam, l'Afghanistan a ensuite fait partie pendant de longues périodes des (en), et son art a souvent constitué une part importante de l'art persan et de l'art islamique en général. Depuis les années 1900, la nation a commencé à utiliser les techniques occidentales dans l'art. À l'origine, l'art afghan, dans de nombreux médias, était presque entièrement réalisé par des hommes, même si les femmes étaient très impliquées dans d'autres médias, mais depuis peu, les femmes intègrent les programmes artistiques de l'université de Kaboul. L'art est largement concentré au Musée national afghan de Kaboul, à la et aux Archives nationales d'Afghanistan à Kaboul. Il existe un certain nombre d'écoles d'art dans le pays. Le (CCAA) de Kaboul offre aux jeunes la possibilité d'apprendre la peinture contemporaine. Au cours des dernières décennies, la guerre et l' (en) délibéré ont entraîné une grande destruction du patrimoine artistique de l'Afghanistan. (fr)
