"Islamic art" is a word that was first used by Orientalists. Despite the many definitions of "Islamic art" presented so far, it is still discussed and investigated by thinkers, since Islamic art cannot be considered a specific movement or style. In this research, the concept of "Islamic art" is considered from the point of view of Sheila Blair and Jonathan Bloom, and the comparison of their point of view with the approach of semanticists and essentialist orientalists. Now this question is raised, what was the purpose of Islamic art from the point of view of Blair and Bloom, and what was the approach of these two researchers in the study of Islamic art and the classification of these works in comparison with orientalists of the essence of belief and semanticists? The purpose of this research is to analyze the concepts and approaches related to Islamic art from the point of view of Sheila Blair and Jonathan Bloom and compare their point of view with the approach of semanticists and essentialist orientalists. The research method of this research is qualitative and its presentation method is descriptive-analytical. Information has been collected based on studies and library documents. The results show that regardless of the definition of art in the West and because of the lack of a specific definition of Islamic art, Blair considered it free from the restrictions of region, period, school, or specific style and considered the works in the realm of Islam as "Islamic art". On the other hand, Blair and Bloom promoted the Western-based study approach to the level of interpretive-based studies, but the approaches of these two researchers contrast with the object-oriented and traditionalist orientalist approaches.
