Keywords: Compilation Theory, Malay Aesthetics, Concepts ofBeauty, Arts

INTRODUCTION

Malay aesthetic was based on a collective expression of a refined sensibility towards the idea ofmod­eration and humility. In order to understand the Malay concept of aesthetic, we need to go back intime and view how the Malay race came about. We need to know they really were and where did theycome from? It is amazing to note that according to the latest anthropological report:

"Malay lvere on this land since tiJne inunelnorial. Theycertainly did not lnigrate here hundreds of thousandsofyears ago, but very lnuch earlier. Although they lnayshare a strong genetic ties to the people of northernAsia, i.e. at Yunan in China ... "

(Tan,2001)

The Malay concept of Beauty is based on the philosophy of the Malay woodcarving, where Beautyis related to the concept ofTruth and Goodness. The Malay concept of Beauty also corresponds withal-Ghazali's notion of the beautiful, which is referred to the outer and the inner aspects of beauty.In other "vords Beauty is not only perceived through the five senses, but its appreciation goes evenbeyond the soul. The Philosophy of the Malay wood carving based on the concept of the motif awanlarat:

tUlnbuh berpuncapunca penuh rahsiatajam tidak lnenujah lawanlnelilit tidak melnaut kawantetapi melingkar penuh mesra

(Derahman, 1983)

(translation)Grew from a sourceOf a very secret one (divine)It grew without hatred to its foeNor exploiting its friendBut full of grace and intimacy

(Mohamad Khalil Arnran, 2012)

Moreover, Syed Zulfilda S. M. Noor in his study about the concept ofMalay aesthetics pointsthat:

"Secara keseluruhaan, estetika berlnakna suaht cawangan falsafah yangcuba lnenjelaskan tentang keadaan, bentuk, dasar atau konsep kecantikanatau keindahan terutalnanya dalaln perihal kesenian. Iajuga n1erupakansatukajian bagaimana tindak-balas atau respons yang l1Jujud daripada elnosi danlnental bertindak terhadap keindahan sesuatu hasil seni. Jelas bahawa este­tika adalah berkenaan sesuatu yang cantik".

(Syed Zuljilda S. M Noo~ 1992)

The beneficially of understanding the Malay aesthetic philosophy was able to understandmore in deep about the elements of beauty and arts. Besides that, further the knowledge and executethe meaningful about objective elements that resurrect the element of beauty among human and theobjective factors will influence the appreciation towards the beauty. Other than that, it also can furtherand execute the understanding· of subjective elements that is influential on human ability in way torelish the beauty aspect. By understanding the Malay aesthetic philosophy n1ethod, it can strengthenthe appreciation towards beauty on arts and national culture also able to appreciate on another arts andculture. Through that, the international relation can become more intimate.

Furthermore, it also can encourage people to have the fine feeling toward \vork of arts andbring up an understanding of existence and connection between arts, life etiquette, culture and soci­ety. Moreover, the aesthetic philosophy also can stabilize the ability for arts criticize and in the sameway able to develop an arts appreciation among society.

Therefore, by using Malay aesthetic philosophy method in way to analysis the work of artscan firm the morality, good manners, humanities and believes in God anl0ng Malaysia society. Look­ing at the aesthetic philosophy of art in Islan1ic approach written by Mohamed Ali Abdul Rahman(1983) Falsafah Seni Dan Estetik, he says:

"Dalam bahasa Arab Ibnu Kesenian itu disebut sebagai "al-Fann". Dalalnilmu ini jugalah terdapat Ilmu Estetik Islam yang merangkumi tentang konsepkeindahan. Keindahan ini banyak disebutkan dalaln AI-Quran dan dalaln HadisRasullullah. Konsep keindahan dalaln Islaln. Hadis tersebut dipetik berbunyi:

'Allah itu Maha Indah dan Ia Inenyintai Keindahan '. "(Hadith Muslim: 147; Ibn Majah : 10; Ahmad Ibn Hanbal : 4)

The concept of art appreciation of beauty in Islamic· philosophy had relation to the verticalrelation which is between human and God (Allah S.W.T) and horizontal relation which is betweenhUlnan and human. AI- Ghazali also had his own interpretation to the concept ofbeauty. His definitiontowards the beauty is parallel with 'perfection'. Every perfectionist will give the scent of satisfactionto the audiences (Mohamed Ali Abdul Rahman, 1983).

Reference to the International Conference at the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, PrincessWijdan Ali has talked about the AI-Ghazali and Aesthetic state that, the concept of beauty has pre­ceded that of aesthetics by several centuries, if not millennia. Beauty is the quality or cumulativequalities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit.Since the beginning of time man has tried to include beauty in his life. The Ain Ghazal statues foundnear Anl111an in Jordan go back to 7000 B.C. and are believed to be the earliest sculpted figures inthe world. Their eyes are nlade of sea shells and defined by a black line showing that, since a veryearly stage in his development, man possessed an aesthetic sense and attempted to add an element ofbeauty to his creativity (Princess Wijdan Ali, 2001) By this statement, clearly show that the aestheticphilosophy was one of the important theories in arts especially in process of development artworksand appreciation towards the work of arts.

The value of aesthetic and beauty also includes the aspect of aesthetic experiences, aestheticcreativity, aesthetic appearances,· aesthetic emotions and intuition, symbolism in aesthetic, apprecia­tion towards beauty and al1s, aesthetic and morally, influential religion towards aesthetic and the un­derstanding of art and non art (Djelantik, 1999).

Concept of Beauty by AI-Ghazali

Being one of the most spiritual philosophers of Islam and one of the greatest jurists, theologi­ans and Shufi thinkers of all time, al-Ghazalis awareness of beauty is of a Sufi perception that couldonly relate to God the Beautiful. For him everything in the universe is created by God, each createdthing reflects Gods majesty and beauty. Therefore each event in mans life also reveals Gods way ofguiding us.

AI-Ghazali stated that there are three types of beauty. The first is external physical beauty(dhahir). The second type is moral beauty (batin) that relates to a person character. The third type ofbeauty that al-Ghazali describes is the spiritual. It is the most sublime because it is directly connectedto the Almighty and is attained through ecstasy. According to al-Ghazali:

"The heart oj/nan has been so constituted by the Abnighty that, like aflint, itcontains a hiddenfire lvhich is evoked by lnusic and harn-zony and renders manbeside hiJnselfwith ecstacy. These har/nonies are echoes ojthat higher world 0/beauty which lve call the world o/spirits; they relnind lnan o/his relationship tothe world andproduce in hiJn an elnotion so deep and strange that he himselfispowerless to explain it. "

Malay Concept Beauty ofArts by Abdullah b. Mohamaed (Nakula)

According to Nakula, the concept of Divine Essence (dhat) constituted the basis of Malaythoughts and Philosophy. He also pointed out that the Malay concepts ofthe seven hierarchies ofBe­ings Martabat tujuh ,vas firmly enlbedded in the design concept of the awan larat of the traditionalMalay woodcarving (Nakula, 1979). This concept of the Martabat tujuh was in fact based on the suficosmological doctrine ofwahdal al-wujud. The seven hierarachies ofbeing referred to by the Malaysare al-Martabatul-Ahadiah, Martabatu1-Wahdah, al-Martabatul-Wahidiah, Martabat 'Alami Ghaibil­ghaib, Martabat 'Alami-Ghaib, Martabat 'Alami-sy-Syahadah and Martabatul-Insan (Nakula, 1979).

Nakula also explained that there are four stages that constitute the journey to God, namely (a) thelevel of Divine law, sha 'ria; (b) the level of mystical path; tari' qa; (c) the level of Civine truth, ha­qiqah' and (d) the level of gnosis, nla'rifa (Sulaiman Esa, 2001).

The creative expression of the Malay craftsman was in fact an act of total devotion and sub-

mission to God, the Creator of the Universe. Most of the art forms ofthe Malay tradition crafts de­rived from elements of nature, which reflected the harmony that existed between man and his o\vnenvironment In the world ofMalay woodcarving, nature was the major source of inspiration. The artforms were the result of a transformation ofnature to art. In other words, nature was transfornled intoart through changes in features that conform to suitable motif patterns, which emphasized aspects ofbeauty and norms of traditional culture. It was actually based on nature's plant forms, which werecarved according to design patterns that emphasized the principle of harmony.

The act of designing and making the woodcarving involved a process of deliberately, select­ing, assembling and arranging the design motifs according to the concept of awan laratwhich stressedthe characteristics of a steady movement that emanated from a particular source which slowly andnaturally evolved in equilibrium and harmony. Constrained by the bounds of moderation, these veg­etal designs hardly protruded but instead suggested a pose of the idea ofhumility.

The teaching of Islam that emphasizes the love for nature also provides guidance for man toseek beauty in the natural world, which God has created. As an example, the rich tropical forest foundin the Malay world offered a variety of plants \vith the lTIultitude shapes of shoots, leaves, flowersand fruits which became a source of inspiration to the craftsman to works on the design motifs of thewoodcarving. The vegetal itnages of leaf-shoots, foliage and flowers \vere chosen to symbolize vigor,strength, growth and femininity. In a way Islam has very much influenced and shaped the philosophyand style of the traditional Malay woodcarving.

Concept of Malay Aesthetics by Sulaiman Esa

Sulainlan Esa, a well-known Malaysian artist wrote that:

{{... it 11laS the Sufis' interpretation oj~the Quranic concept oftalvhid - the UnityofBeing as expressed in lvahdat al-1vlt}ud - that has been decisive in shapingthe form and spirit oftraditional Malay art. "

(Sulaiman Esa, 2000)Sulaiman Esa pointed out that there are six principles that constitute the Malay concept of the

beautiful, which are one, halus (refinement) \vhich signifies aesthetic qualities like that of subtlety,complexity and intricacy. Tvvo, is lembut (flexibility) which refers to the process and approach of theart product and also to the artistic sensibility of the artworks. Three is seimbang (balance), which isequated to the idea of symmetry where order, harmony and unity are closely linked to the idea ofsymmetry where order, harmony and unity are closely linked to the sacred laws of the cosnlOS. Fouris kesatuan (unity), which seeks to integrate and unify all the elements ofmotif, design and color andtransform them into an orderly composition with a sense of totality and wholeness. Five is berguna(functionality) which is identified with use and at the sanle time served the intended function. Six issymbolism, which are used here are influenced by Sufis symbols especially that ofthe sacred and theabsolute which served as man's remembrance of God. Man has to go through the journey of symbolsin order to make his journey towards God (Sulaiman Esa, 2001).

Concept of Malay Aesthetics by Syed Ahmad Jamal

Syed Ahmad Jamal stated in book Rupa dan Jiwa:

{{Estetika bererti sesuatu yang berkaitan dengan deria pengamatan terhadapsesuatuperkara atau suasana yang lnenekankan aspek kesenian atau keinda­han, bukan menekankan aspek kegunaanya. "

(Syed Ahnlad Janlal, 1992)

ISNIE COLLOQUIUM 2016190

The word esthetics according to Syed Ahmad Jamal means something that sensitivity valueof feeling, moment and beauty. It is had the feeling of something whereas focusing in artistic aspects.Process of esthetics requires object to be isolated from its environment and deemed to be its charac­ters that we realize it's inter relationship and roles. According to Syed Ahmad Jamal:

"Dalaln proses peniklnatan estetika, sesuatu benda itu diasingkan daripadakeadaan sekitarnya, dia111ati vvujud tersendiri, sesungguhpun kita sedar dengankaitan dan perananya. "

(SyedAhmadJama~ 198~

Concept of Malay Aesthetics by Ruzaika OInar Basaree

Malay concept of Beauty:

1. Spiritualism or Mysticism emphasizing Divine principles or ethical norms based on religiousbelief of higher spiritual values.

2. Unity depicting hannony that organizes and unifies all elelnents of design and motifs into acomplete whole composition.

3. Symbolism based on signification and connotation representing the viewpoint that highlightshidden meaning.

4. Refinement demonstrating the finesse or delicacy signifying aesthetic qualities such as intricacy, subtlety and conlplexity.

5. Symmetry regarding regularity or orderly, which is equated with the idea of geometricalframework.

6. Flexibility depicting gracefulness and fluidity, which refers to refined artistic sensibility andskilfulness of the work.

7. Functionality that deals with usefulness or utility, which stresses the functional or utilitarianaspect of a work of art beside beauty.

(This is a revised version based from the study made by Zakaria Ali and Sulainlan Esa)

Concept of Malay Aesthetics by Zakaria Ali

The theory of five principles aesthetic philosophy that constitute the Malay aesthetic conceptof the beautiful that pointed by Zakaria Ali can be defined which one, berhalus (finesse) which wasthe spiritual process that extract from nature. Finesse refers to the appropriate choice of form andmaterial. Judging fi·om the extrinsic qualities of Malay traditional arts, finesse refers to the delicacyof the objects as well as the choice of media. For instance, it is not appropriate to execute a carvingin a Malay traditional house by using metal. It would reflect an insensitive attitude towards the natureof the objects as well as the materials.

Two, is berguna (usefulness) which is identified \vith use and at the same tilne served the intendedfunction. The principles of usefulness in Malay refer to the functions of certain art objects. In Malaytraditional arts, objects such as tudung saji (food cover) and a coconut peeler (kukur kelapa) are notmerely created for pleasure or beauty, but also for certain purpose in daily life. In that context, Malaytraditional arts are both beautiful and useful.

Three is bersatu (unity). Looking to the principle of unity in term of Malay heritage it wasrepresents the intricacy and delicacy of nl0tifs, pattern in Malay traditional arts such as those foundin Batik, wood carving and architecture. In visual arts the unity principles of Malay aesthetic can beseen by the intricacy and delicacy of form and content in the works of art. The unity principles wasused here for seek to integrate and unify between form and contents. With application .of this unityprinciple can made the theme and narrative been able to communicate more clearly.

Four is berlawan (contrast) which refers to the process and approach of the art product withadding another aesthetics quality to this berlawan design who can ll1ake it more flexibility, balanceand harmony. The elements of contrast in Malay traditional arts refer to the various qualities whichcreates a sense ofharmony. This can be analysed through the varying surface ofwood carving or eventhe varieties offlora and fauna motif in batiks. It is also illustrated through colors and shapes. In visualart, contrast is the element that created by using elements that conflict with one another. An artist canemploy contrast as a tool, to direct the viewer's attention to a particular point of interest within thepiece. Five is berlambang (symbolism), which are used here for seek to integrate and unify betweenform and contents. The principle of symbolism reveals the symbolic meaning of certain objects. Inthat context, Malay traditional arts does not only function physically but· it also embodies certainmeanings related to history, culture and belief of the Malays.

This theory will be used as an underlying in this study. Khalil Amran (2012) point out that:

"The aesthetic principles proposed by Ali encoJnpass abnost every aspect ofdesign jroJn lnaterial and technique, jilnction and user consideration, visualintergrity to culture, history and beliefs. "

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, the studies of theoretical background ofMalay aesthetics possess high analyti­cal and intrinsic n1eanings that can be as land-marked a significant contribution to the Malaysian Arthistory. From this context, scholars invite Malaysian society to think in a different light particularlyin intellectualizing the way the general public would react to the significant lneanings that will foundemphasized through this theoretical. In addition this article also to highlight and describing to soci­ety about the beauty of theory Malay aesthetics and Islamic aesthetics where it can be use as one ofmethod in arts appreciation proses in visual arts.
