REFRAMING THE GAZE: EUROPEAN ORIENTALIST ART IN THE EYES OF TURKISH WOMEN ARTISTS.
- Authors
Dellios, Paulette
- Abstract
This paper aims to explore an overlooked subject at the juncture of gender studies and art history by examining the responses of three Turkish women artists to Orientalist art, especially that which portrayed the female form as highly eroticised and exoticised. Orientalism, the European art movement that flourished in the nineteenth century, is being debated visually by these contemporary women artist, who have brought gender issues 'back home' to the original site of Orientalist imagining. Yet, the works of these Turkish women artists raise a critical question: by adjusting their focus on European Orientalist art do they effectively challenge or unwittingly re-awaken the Orientalist gaze?
