Editing Geometric abstraction (section)

==History==
Geometric abstraction is present among many cultures throughout history both as decorative motifs and as art pieces themselves. [[Islamic art]], in its prohibition of depicting religious figures, is a prime example of this geometric pattern-based art, which existed centuries before the movement in Europe and in many ways influenced this Western school. Aligned with and often used in the architecture of Islamic civilations spanning the 7th century-20th century, geometric patterns were used to visually connect spirituality with science and art, both of which were key to Islamic thought of the time.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Abdullahi |first1=Yahya |last2=Embi |first2=Mohamed Rashid Bin |date=2013-06-01 |title=Evolution of Islamic geometric patterns |journal=Frontiers of Architectural Research |volume=2 |issue=2 |pages=243–251 |doi=10.1016/j.foar.2013.03.002 |issn=2095-2635|doi-access=free }}</ref>
