<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Taxonomies of Orientalism in art, from Piotr Uklanski</strong></p><p>Celebrated Polish-born artist Piotr Uklanski (born 1968) established himself in the mid-1990s with a diverse body of work examining the ever-changing relationship between identity, history and culture. <p/>Continuing this investigation, Uklanski's new book, <i>Ottomania</i>, traces the phenomenon of Orientalist portraiture over the past 500 years. This book contains over 200 paintings, drawings, prints and photography--images of men in turbans, theatrically embellished masculine dress, richly decorated fabrics, the codification of facial hair and the romantic settings of Ottoman or Persian court life--from Rembrandt, Zurbarán, Liotard, Tiepolo, Rubens, Delacroix, Schiele, Matisse, Picasso, de Chirico, Dalí, Balthus and Leonor Fini. <p/>Uklanski orders the works roughly by theme, demonstrating how Western artists exploited key Orientalist signifiers, in dress, setting and pose, in order to portray their sitters--men, women and children--as worldly, romantic and in other ways exotic. </p>
