Art leads to an enlightened society. Just look back at dark ages Europe and what art and literature in subsequent ages did for the age of enlightenment. The stagnation of Islamic world/culture has been too long.
thats why Quran doesnt forbid it. To be more precise it was law passed on by the Ottoman Empire.

Its a hadith (tradition), most problems in the Islamic world stem from Hadith.
