Susan Edwards | September 1, 2010 | Taken in the 1980s, his photos have a remarkable affinity to the work of the Orientalist painters of the nineteenth century. The methodology employed by Orientals when creating their paintings is quite an admirable aspect. (some would say yes!) WebLinda Nochlin was an American art historian, university professor and writer. The West was preserving what they were destroying. There are also paintings of hunting with falcons, guns, on horseback, and so on, as in the works of Eugene Fromentin. The work attempts to unify the nineteenth century characteristics at a documentary realism. The realistic technique employed within this work also has a metaphoric function that promotes the negative stereotypes of Eastern culture, shown in the worn down and neglected architecture that symbolizes the corruption of Islamic society during this time. That astounding simplicity..[12] Evidence of this comes from the books of two very gifted modern Indian photographers, Raghu Rai and Raghubir Singh. Referring to the Arabic inscriptions in Grmes Snake Charmer, Nochlin quotes Ettinghausen, a great scholar and expert on Islamic Art, as saying that they could be easily read.Then Nochlin adds a contradictory footnote: Edward Said has pointed out to me in conversation that most of the so-called writing on the back wall of the Snake Charmer is in fact unreadable.Pace Said, the large frieze at the top of the painting, running from right to left, is perfectly legible. Like Nochlin, she admitted to a love-hate relationship with Grmes Orientalist paintings. The Orientalizing setting of Eugene Delacroix's painting both signifies an extreme state of psychic intensity and formalizes that state through various conventions of representation.
