Hans Makart, The Death of Cleopatra, 1875.

Liechtenstein, The Princely Collection

Hans Makart was a 19th-century Austrian academic history painter, designer, and decorator. He is best known for his influence on Gustav Klimt and other Austrian artists, but in his own era he was considered an important artist himself and a celebrity figure in the high culture of Vienna and attended with almost cult-like adulation.

Makart was the son of a chamberlain at the Mirabell Palace in Salzburg, Austria, born in the former residence of the prince-archbishops of Salzburg, the city in which Mozart had been born. Initially, he received his training in painting at the Vienna Academy between 1850 and 1851 from Johann Fischbach. While in the Academy, German art was under the rule of a classicism, which was entirely intellectual and academic—clear and precise drawing, sculpturesque modelling, and pictorial erudition were esteemed above all. Makart, who was a poor draughtsman, but who had a passionate and sensual love of color, was impatient to escape the routine of art school drawing. For his fortune, he was found by his instructors to be devoid of all talent and forced to leave the Vienna Academy.

For centuries, the West has been fascinated by the mysterious allure of the Middle East and Asia, captivated by the curious customs, the exotic spices and colors of the bazaars, the romantic atmosphere of the graceful architecture and flowing garments. In the popular imagination, thoughts of the East evoke stories of travel, literature, paintings, decorative arts, fashion and films that have enchanted us for decades. As if viewing the world from a magic flying carpet, through the perspective of Orientalism the nostalgia for vanished civilizations developed into an idealized fantasy.More than a style, Orientalism is a way of seeing, of perceiving, of sharing emotions and palettes of colors, sensations. Historically, the wealth of the East’s exuberant kaleidoscope of mysteries and perfumes was an antidote to the conservative establishment and ordered rational thinking. Orientalist painters were collectors of dreams, in the way lovers of objects transform their study into a cabinet of curiosities. From Marco Polo’s Book of the Marvels of the World to Byron’s Turkish Tales, from Paul Poiret to Yves Saint Laurent and John Galliano, from Delacroix to the British explorer Richard Burton, from Cleopatra to Lawrence of Arabia, Orientalism offers a vision filled with dreams, secrets and poetry, a sensuous tableau perfumed with incense, interweaving past and present.Following our successful Travel series, Assouline introduces the Style series, spotlighting some of the most iconic art movements and design styles, revealing their historical impact and continuing influence on our culture today.

John Collier (English, 1850-1934) • Souvenir of Chu Chin Chow • Glynn Vivian Art Gallery.

In 19th and early 20th century western art, wearing theatrical costumes instead of one's usual attire was not limited to professional actors on stage. It was also a popular form of entertainment: for costume balls, tableaux vivants, masquerades, parades, meetings of fraternal organizations, amateur theater. Inspiration came from art, history, mythology, folk traditions, and non-European cultures. Popular magazines and books offered ideas and instructions.

Portraits of western women in "exotic" costumes, such as the one above, are often encountered bearing the label "Orientalism". Scenes of everyday life, whether realistic or imagined, were a particular source of interest to the Orientalist painters. Some images focused on a single individual, while others engaged with a multitude. Similarly, they ranged from quiet and contemplative pictures to wildly dramatic scenes. The most detailed were perhaps drawn from life, or betrayed the influence of photography – a newly emerging discipline. Others were clearly the products of a studio setting, where objects and clothes from different periods and places were liberally mixed as props.

Today, such images may spark dialogue about what it means to wear the dress of a culture that is not your own. The term "cultural appropriation" describes the co-opting of one culture's traditions by another, historically dominant group. One of its most persistent and visible forms involves clothing-such as members of European or American society donning the dress of populations they have controlled politically, economically, or culturally. Intentionally or not, such actions reflect uneven power dynamics and can reinforce histories of oppression.

like.. i do have a complex relationship to historical orientalist art. one of my all-time favorite paintings is "portrait of a young moroccan girl" by an anonymous orientalist painter. its a portrait of a young amazigh girl who looks just like a younger me. ive put pictures of my young self next to that painting sometimes just because the resemblance was so striking. its kind of the only art piece in which ive ever recognized myself, you know? and its part of an art movement that was focused on representing those people - the people i descend from - as strange, exotic, often sexualized, often barbaric others. much of that art is beautiful and skillful. and yet it is tainted by its context, its intent, its gaze. and yet... there i am, in the painting. you know? its difficult to parse exactly how i feel about it. theres a feeling of unfairness about it all, of course: if artists of color were equally represented to white artists, historically or currently, if their art was equally valued, would i have seen myself in another painting? in many others? and yet the young moroccan girl is here. but she isnt; she isnt in the painting, as a person. she is the object of the art and can only be that. and she looks just like me. and i keep coming back to her. yknow?

#97 #she has a mole nearly in the same place i do. she looks like me. and she is not there. #i think of this often #none of this is to say that i dont now have access to the art of many people of color #i do follow artists of color (primarily on tumblr bc its my main social media) and see tons of ocs of color! and have plenty myself #but ive never seen a piece of art and gone 'that looks just like me!!' except that one painting
