Arab Muslims lived in the desert. It makes sense that they were rough because of the atmosphere. However, that didn't affect their affection towards beauty. They were mostly invested in poetry, by the way. Other forms of art came in later as they began to expand and include other cultures. I believe that the psychedelic arts came from Iran and India, but I haven't looked into it, so I don't know. It is said that Arabic poetry is Arabs' record of history. But that's around Mohammad's days. Nowadays, Arabs and Muslims are pure shit, to be frank.
