During this period, colonization, and a revolution in means of transportation allowed artists to visit countries from North Africa to the Middle East that had previously been relatively inaccessible. The patterns, colors, and light of this region influenced artists such as Delacroix, Decamps, Berch鑽e, Bridgman, Ziem, G駻e, Corrodi, Dinet, Matisse, Majorelle and many others. Upon returning to Europe, these artists captured the atmosphere of these distant and exotic lands in painted scenes of daily life and wrote memoirs of their travels. Some returned to settle there, including painters like Dinet, who spent a large part of his life in Algeria, and Majorelle, known as the \"painter of Marrakech.\" This book offers insight into the Orientalist aesthetic that inspired the movement, and lays the groundwork for a deeper understanding of these vibrant works of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eText in English and French.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Claire Maingon, Mathias Ary Jan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 237666070X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782376660705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Norma Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/29\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.20h x 9.90w x 1.20d","brand":"Claire Maingon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070264340735,"sku":"9782376660705","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_034b9242-b41a-41ab-b8e3-3e35d163effa.jpg?v=1685429330","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/oriental-dreams-mathias-ary-jan-9782376660705","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
