Their paintings of barbaric warriors, desert shieks and dancing and harem girls has always fascinated audiences. Comprehensive text, amply illustrated, covers the history of Orientalism and the artists caught up in the East's exotic influences from the 15th century to the 20th: \u003cstrong\u003eGerome, Moreau, Delacroix, Matisse, Le Corbusier\u003c\/strong\u003e et al.\n\nAlso: \u003cstrong\u003eEdouard Manet, Auguste Renoir, Wassily Kandinsky, Raoul Dufy\u003c\/strong\u003e and many others. The Oriental motif is a recurring theme in Western painting. From the Renaissance, with its awakening interest in ancient cultures and art, to the 18th century with its Grand Tours and Turkish fashion. This not only documented artist's travels to the East (or what is now known as the Middle East), but projected the fantasies of the West, culminating in the 19th century with the genre Orientalism.
