Arab culture has traditionally drawn a clear distinction between the
erotic and the pornographic in literature, but not in the visual arts.
Erotic literature, including the poetry of Ka'b ibn Zuhayr and
Hassan ibn Thabit, is highly valued, whereas similar representations in
the visual arts would be considered pornographic. However, Arab culture
could be enriched by extending appreciation for the erotic into the
visual arts.
