"This book is the first full-length study dedicated to French women Orientalist artists.
Mary Kelly has gathered primary documentation relating to seventy-two women artists
whose works of art can be placed in the canon of French Orientalism between 1861 and
1956. Bringing these artists together for the first time and presenting close contextual
analyses of works of art, attention is given to artists' cross-cultural interactions
with painted/sculpted representations of the Maghreb particularly in Algeria, Tunisia
and Morocco. Using an interdisciplinary 'open platform of discussion' approach, Kelly
builds on established theory which places emphases on the gendered gaze. This entails
a discussion on women's painted perspectives of and contacts with Muslim women as
well as various Maghrebi cultures and land-all the while remaining mindful of the
subject position of the French artist and the problematic issues which can arise when
discussing European-made 'ethnographic' scenes. Kelly argues that French women's perspectives
of the Maghreb differed from the male gaze and were informed by their artistic training
and social positions in Europe. In so doing, French women's socio-cultural modernity
is also examined. Moreover, executed between 1861 and 1956, the works of art presented
show influences of Modernism; therefore, this book also pays close attention to progressive
Realism and Naturalism in art and the Orientalist shift into Modernist subject matter
and form. Through this research into French women Orientalists, Kelly engages with
important discussions on the crossing view of the historical female other with the
cultural other, artistic hybridity and influence in art as well as the postcolonial
response to French activities in colonial Algeria and the protectorates of Tunisia
and Morocco. On giving focus to women's art and the impact of cross-cultural interchanges,
this book rethinks Orientalism in French art. This book will be of particular interest
to scholars in the History of Art, Gender Studies, History, and Middle Eastern and
North African Studies"
