Bare, naked, nude: A story of modernization in Turkish painting.= Üryan, çiplak, nü: Türk resminde bir modernlesme öyküsü. [Exhibition catalogue].
New English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (29 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 205 p., color and b/w ills. Bare, naked, nude: A story of modernization in Turkish painting.= Üryan, çiplak, nü: Türk resminde bir modernlesme öyküsü. [Exhibition catalogue]. Bare, Naked, Nude: A Story of Modernization in Turkish Painting focuses on the evolution of nude painting as one of the foremost genres alongside portraiture, landscape, and still life in Turkish modern art. The rich diversity of styles represented in the paintings that come together in this exhibition reveal that the nude, far from being a subject for Turkish artists constitutes a means of expression fundamental in the search for form. The most challenging trial for artists in their student years, the human body emerges as a central source of inspiration in both the pursuit for modernist tendencies in Western art and in the efforts to articulate an individual artistic language. The exhibition catalogue, through the essay of the curator, Ahu Antmen and the selected paintings offer us the possibility to envisage the visual adventure behind Turkey's story of modernization, providing an insight into the formation of artistic identity in the period extending from the Ottoman Empire to the Republic, the challenges of transforming the perception of the female body from a framework of privacy to that of a desexualized object and the connections between the art and the nude in the perception of a modern identity. HISTORY OF ART TUrkish painting Modernism Contemporary Turkish art of painting.

ALI HASSOUN.
Ali Hassoun. Verso Oriente. Testi di Gabriele Mandel Khân, Ivan Quaroni. [Exhibition catalogue]. 24 Aprile - 31 Maggio 2004, Spirale Artecontemporanea.
As New As New English Paperback. Pbo. Dust wrapper. Mint. 4to. (30 x 24 cm). In English and Italian. 45, [1] p. Color ills. For Ali Hassoun, born in Saïda (Lebanon) in 1964, but living in Italy, art is inevitably a borderland, a fertile ridge where two different cultures meet: the traditional, spiritual culture of Islam and the dynamic, evolutionary culture of the West. In this meeting, East and West, North and South are only apparently geographical coordinates. They are rather topical places in the mind, spiritual directions which pass the baton to one another, like the perfect laps in a trip touching in turn upon the extreme opposites of ascension: the zenith and the nadir, Alpha and Omega, vile lead and alchemic gold, the terrestrial world and the imagination, the spirit and the body, and all the possible variants on a polarity which is always merely symbolic. In the artist's works the East and the West continually change sides, alluding to ambiguous meanings, now clear and now hidden. Ali Hassoun's iconography is constructed by stealing from contemporary visual culture images of a variegated humanity intent on the humble occupations of a daily life that has not yet been brutalised by the signs of the technological era. Like a computer hacker, but employing techniques which are entirely manual, Ali metaphorically "copies and pastes" onto his canvas photographs of people taken from the pages of a book or a magazine. He paints portraits of men and women, changing them using an ancient tool which contains within itself the balsamic germ of transfiguration. And yet, in his painting, precise and detailed to the point of verging on hyper-realism, there is nothing of the documentary. Like Emilio Salgari, Hassoun does not need to plough the waves or travel the caravan routes to come up with his visions. His travels are immobile, typical of a multimedia age such as our own, when information abounds but knowledge is rare. An age in which painting has come back into fashion - if it had ever gone out of fashion - but feeling the influence of the clarity of liquid crystal, of the pervasive vocabulary of the big plasma screen, of the hi-tech aesthetic born out of cyber imagery and the virtual settings of videogames. Painting containing gelid icons, the heroines of a new cybernetic sensuality, portraits of aidoru and computer alter egos, replicants and cyborgs, singing the fictitious myth of a trans-human future. In Italy, Ali Hassoun's painting is a return to Vasari's Bella Maniera, the full perfection of the great lesson of the Renaissance: painting with no mediation, no alibis and no tricks. In his works, Arab shepherds, students of the Koranic schools, cabalists, old wise men and African women dressed in fabrics of gaudy colours move about in a scenario in which landscape notation is abolished, swept away by an artificial background, a citation of great masterpieces of Art History, from the Michelangelo of the Sistine Chapel to Picasso's Guernica, from the fourteenth-century Sienese painters - Simone Martini and the Lorenzettis - to Capogrossi. The Levantine faces and statuesque bodies of his African women, the elegance and grace of his Indian maids are surrounded not by a desert, by a marketplace, by the interior of a mosque or a zawiyya nor by a minaret or a medina, but by a world of spirits, of platonic psychopomps floating suspended between Earth and Sky. In his most recent works Ali Hassoun has moved eastward. His women are now wearing the colours of India. They are wheat grinders, water bearers, even cabalists, intent on drawing a five-pointed star in the earth, hiding the secret of the golden section. The birth of a primitive femininity is everywhere, blended with the mystics of the elements - Air, Water, Earth and Fire - transfused in the grammar of light as in the use of clayey colours, in the transparency of ethereal figures and in the symbolism of water. Once again there are images of the "well of science" from which to draw the water of wisdom

The poetics and politics of place: Ottoman Istanbul and British orientalism.
New English Paperback. 4to. (30 x 24 cm). In English. 285 p. Color and b/w ills. "This unique collection takes a fresh look at Orientalism by shifting its center from Europe to Ottoman Istanbul and thinking about art in terms of exchange, reciprocity, and comparative imperialisms. This new lens reveals the essential role of the Ottoman city and its patrons and artists in the dialogues that facilitated production, circulation, and consumption of British Orientalist cultures. In this volume, art works are conceptualized as traveling artifacts produced through localized interactions. World renowned scholars and curators analyze the diverse audiences for such art works and the range of differing contexts for their reception both in the 19th century and more recently. In this way, British art is put into a dynamic relationship with an historicized understanding of cultures of collecting and display during the formation of comparative modernities and also with the contemporary postcolonial creation of new national models of exhibition and education. Featuring stunning visuals, this book puts art history in the context of cultural, visual, and literary studies, challenging the orthodoxies of postcolonial theory with the materiality of multiple imperialisms and modernities to offer a new take on the collection, display, and consumption of Orientalist cultures.".

Orientalism in Polish art.= Polonya sanatinda Oryantalizm. [Exhibition catalogue]. 24 October 2014 - 18 January 2015, Pera Museum.
New English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (30 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 360 p., color and b/w ills. The exhibition highlights the orientalist trend in Polish painting, as well as drawings and graphic arts. The works in the exhibition cover a wide period from the 17th to the early 19th centuries. Among others, the exhibition includes drawings by Christian Kamsetzer of his Turkish travels, as well as oriental scenes by artists like Zmurko and Brandt. The artworks exemplify topics related to the Ottoman world, and to a lesser extent, the Near East and North African regions. One section of the exhibition is dedicated to Stanislaw Chlebowski, the court artist of Sultan Abdülaziz. Works by other artists who had visited Turkey, among them Jan Matejko, Waclaw Pawliszak, Jan Ciaglinski, and Jacek Malczewski, are also included. Selected from the collections of Polish institutions ranging from the National Museums in Warsaw, Kraków, Poznan, and Wroclaw, the University Library in Warsaw, to Lazienki Palace Museum, the exhibition brings together approximately 190 works. The apogee of Orientalism, which refers to a cultural current in Europe centred on an interest in the cultures of the East manifesting itself in art, architecture, music, literature, and the theatre, arrived in the 19th century, when a distinct Orientalist current sprang forth from academic painting, inspired first and foremost by the cultures of the Islamic countries of the Middle East and North Africa, as well as of Moorish Spain. In the specific case of Poland, interest in the Orient goes back to medieval times; a natural result of her geographic location, which rendered Poland particularly susceptible to influences from the East. To a large extent, this period in Polish history was defined by successive wars with the Ottomans, and it left an indelible trace in culture. A variety of equestrian types, generic skirmishes and great historic battles were depicted many times by various skilled artists, as well as Oriental characters, landscapes, and genre scenes -first and foremost of the harem. The latter subject matter, popular among audiences, was often taken up by painters who had never been to the East themselves. Exhibition catalogue presents works by the artists among them Jan Matejko, Waclaw Pawliszak, Jan Ciaglinski, Jacek Malczewski, and especially Stanislaw Chlebowski, the court artist of Sultan Abdülaziz, are included, and also sheds light on the artistic influences of Poland's cultural interaction with the East, different from the Western Orientalist approach, through history, diplomacy, battles and travellers.

New English Paperback. Pbo. Mint. Oblong large 8vo. (20 x 21 cm). In English, German, and Turkish. Color ills. 48, [5] p. "This exhibition Technology Won't Save Us: International Young Art From Berlin, running concurrently with the 12th Istanbul Biennial, bears a title whose pessimism reflects the philosophical underpinnings of many of the works in the show. Inspired by the theories of Vilém Flusser, who in 1978 predicted a "crisis of values" in a world ruled by images rather than ideas, this exhibition consists mostly of paintings depicting a bleak, dehumanized technological world. One could instance Gábor A. Nagy's collapsing of foreground and background on his canvases - suggesting that all images are ultimately, so to speak, two-dimensional - or Adam Bota's blurring of individual and group identity in his painting of dancers in a techno club. The artists in the show are all German artists of roughly the same generation - born in the 70s or later - and their visions of the world we live in now are bracing and eye-opening".

New English Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. 200 p. Istanbul, traversée. [Exhibition catalogue]. Its geographical location, its rampant urban development and its complex socio-political fabric make Istanbul an ideal backdrop for many artists, not only Turkish and Istanbul artists, but also artists from the diaspora or artists from abroad who have come to Istanbul as artists in residence. Through the selected works and the varied backgrounds of the artists, this publication attempts to show how city-dwellers face their reality and their history, and how, depending on their cultural, social and political background, they show their resistance to it and participation in it. In recent years, the number of artistic projects has increased, inviting dialogue and historical introspection. These artists accompany the movement of contemporary history. The publication will trace these developments.

The exhibition Félix Ziem: Wanderer on the Sea of Light focuses on the French artist Félix Ziem, one of the most original landscape painters of the nineteenth century, and his paintings that mostly depict Istanbul and Venice where the sea and the city intermingle. In the paintings of Félix Ziem who is regarded as a pre-impressionist painter, it is possible to observe an endeavor to capture the vibrating effects of the ever-changing light by means of lively colors and fast, dynamic brush stroke techniques. While the articles written by the exhibition curators Lucienne Del'Furia and Frédéric Hitzel concentrate on Ziem's life and art, the article by R. Bar¿¿ K¿br¿s, the curator of the Suna and ¿nan K¿raç Foundation, Orientalist Painting Collection, offers a view on the artistic milieu of the period.

The lure of the East: British orientalist painting.= Dogu'nun cazibesi: Britanya oryantalist resmi. [Exhibition catalogue].
New English Paperback. 4to. (28 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 360 p., color ills. The lure of the East: British orientalist painting.= Dogu'nun cazibesi: Britanya oryantalist resmi. [Exhibition catalogue]. This exhibition focused on the paintings made by British artists of the 'Orient', primarily during the nineteenth century. In this context the term 'Orient', to Western Europeans, meant those parts of the eastern Mediterranean world which could be accessed relatively easily such as Egypt, Palestine and Turkey, particularly after the development of steamboat and rail travel in the 1830s. In these places, predominantly Muslim and at least nominally under the control of the Ottoman Empire, British artists, such as David Roberts, David Wilkie, William Holman Hunt, John Frederick Lewis and Frederic Leighton, sought to develop imagery which captured what they believed to be characteristic of the people, cities and landscapes of the region. In the 1970s the Palestinian-American academic Edward Said published his treatise on Orientalism, initiating a global debate over Western representations of the Middle East. For many, such representations now appeared to be a sequence of fictions, serving the West's desire for superiority and control over the East. The argument for and against Said's Orientalism has continued for thirty years. Its resonance for an exhibition such as this one, however, is as strong as ever given that, by the 1920s (the end of the period covered by this exhibition), Britain was in direct control of much of the newly abolished Ottoman Empire, including Egypt, Palestine and Iraq. As Said argued, these images cannot be viewed in isolation from their wider political and cultural context. Keeping the debates around Orientalism in mind, "The Lure of the East" focuses on the range of pictorial options open to British artists, within five major themes: portraits, genre, religious and domestic subjects and landscape. British painters came to the Middle East from a culture steeped in technical and compositional artistic traditions. Such traditions were not easily unlearned, despite the apparent difference of the people and places the artists encountered on their travels. Given this, British Orientalist painters found many challenges in attempting to represent the Middle East, but they also found inspiration and, more importantly, the freedom to rework, reinvent and even discard those conventions that defined picture-making in Britain.

ALAIN QUELLA-VILLEGER, BRUNO VERCIER / ENIS BATUR.
Dessinateur Pierre Loti: Une oeuvre au long cours. Loti, de Turquie.= Ressam Pierre Loti: Uzun bir yolculuk. Loti'yi Türkiye'den görmek.
New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Large 4to. (31 x 31 cm). In French and Turkish. 301, [3] p., color and b/w ills. Dessinateur Pierre Loti: Une oeuvre au long cours. Loti, de Turquie.= Ressam Pierre Loti: Uzun bir yolculuk. Loti'yi Türkiye'den görmek. Le romancier à succès Pierre Loti (1850-1923) a occulté le dessinateur. Sous son véritable nom de Julien Viaud, comme reporter et pour le plaisir, il avait pourtant composé, au fil de ses campagnes de jeune officier de marine, une remarquable ¿uvre graphique, ethnographique aussi. La voici pour la première fois réunie. Plus de cinq cents dessins, accompagnés des gravures qui en furent tirées et de textes de l¿écrivain, forment un singulier carnet de voyages autour du monde, vers les lointains de cet artiste polymorphe et raffiné : Terre de Feu, île de Pâques, Tahiti, Brésil, Amérique du Nord, Sénégal, Maghreb, Adriatique, Indochine, Japon, mais aussi Bretagne et Saintonge natale, sans oublier son cher « Stamboul ». Du simple croquis à l¿aquarelle aboutie, le trait, sûr et inspiré, fait surgir un foisonnement de portraits et d¿événements, d¿étonnements et de fantaisies, de visions. Le monde de l¿un des derniers romantiques. Alain Quella-Villéger et Bruno Vercier sont les deux spécialistes de Pierre Loti et de son oeuvre, auxquels ils ont consacré de nombreux ouvrages, ensemble ou séparément (voir la bibliographie, p. 291). Ils ont notamment entrepris de conserve la publication au long cours du Journal de Loti (t. 1, 2006 ; t. 2, 2008, Paris, Les Indes savantes). Alain Quella-Villéger, natif de Rochefort, comme Pierre Loti, agrégé d¿histoire et docteur ès-lettres en histoire contemporaine, est le biographe de Pierre Loti, de Claude Farrère et de René Caillié. Il est, en outre, co-auteur d¿une dizaine d¿anthologies aux éditions Omnibus (dont Istanbul, Rêves de Bosphore, 2001), directeur et fondateur de la revue Les Carnets de l¿exotisme (1990-2006), à la suite de la Revue Pierre Loti (1980-1988), et auteur de plusieurs autres ouvrages, dont deux romans. Aux éditions Bleu autour, il a préfacé la réédition de Suprêmes visions d¿Orient (2006, 2010), le dernier ouvrage de Pierre Loti. Bruno Vercier, docteur ès-lettres et universitaire, spécialiste de l¿autobiographie et du journal intime, est co-auteur de plusieurs ouvrages sur la littérature française contemporaine (aux éditions Bordas). Il a signé l¿appareil critique de nombreuses rééditions de textes de Pierre Loti, ainsi que de Raymond Radiguet et Charles-Louis Philippe (aux éditions Flammarion et Gallimard). Il préside l¿Association pour laMaison de Pierre Loti. Enis Batur, qui vit à Istanbul et séjourne régulièrement à Paris, est l¿une des figures centrales de la littérature turque depuis vingt-cinq ans. Romancier, essayiste et poète, il est l¿auteur d¿une centaine d¿ouvrages, souvent traduits dans de nombreuses langues étrangères. En France, ses ouvrages paraissent chez Actes Sud (La Pomme, roman, 2004 ; Amer savoir, récit, 2002 ; D¿autres chemins, récit, 2008) et chez Bleu autour (D¿une bibliothèque l¿autre, 2008 ; Ottomanes, Autochromes de Jules Gervais-Courtellemont, en collaboration, 2006), où il a également préfacé trois recueils, deux de poèmes (Va jusqu¿où tu pourras, OrhanVeli, 2009 ; J¿ai vu la mer, anthologie, 2010), l¿autre de nouvelles (Le Samovar, Sait Faik Abasiyanik, 2010).

SEMRA GERMANER, ZEYNEP INANKUR.
Constantinople and the orientalists.
New English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (29 x 24 cm). In English. 331 p., b/w and color ills. Constantinople and the orientalists. Since the publication of our earlier study; 'Orientalism and Turkey', we have been exploring the ramifications of Orientalism in the Ottoman capital of Istanbul itself, or as it was generally known in the nineteenth and early twentieth century: Constantinople. The present study, documented by both visual and written records, including memories, reveals not only the ways in which Istanbul was perceived and portrayed by European artists in the nineteenth century, but it also tries to represent the contemporary city as it truly lived and breathed. In the present work, the reader will discover the identity of Western artists whose works pictorially limned the Ottoman capital, their favorite subjects ¿the harem, the bath, the coffeehouse, and the slave market- and the nature of their interpretation of these subjects.

New English Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English and Turkish. 254 p., b/w and color ills. Images of Üsküdar from the past. The five star book.= Geçmisten Üsküdar suretleri. Besibiryerde. Compiling the visual odyssey of our beloved borough of Üsküdar, spanning 500 years from the 1420s up until the 1950s, "The golden city" album aims at presenting the pertinent documents of the historical heritage that Üsküdar possesses. The paintings, etchings, photographs, postcards, and maps incorporated into the book all function to adequately and efficiently reflect and convety a semblance of the likeness of the past times pertaining to the "Eternal city" Üsküdar (Scutari) the our present day, and carry them forward to to posterity. Each page of this book-album ensures the remembrance of an exalted glory and an enduring magnificence of the bygone epochs, and, in a sense, successfully attempts to recreate the memory of a living metropolis. Each visual element and image featuring in the album attests to a diverse and rich accumulation, amassed over hundreds of years, as this impressive and exhilarating pictoral feast defines the magical and enchanted atmosphere of Üsküdar, standing out prominently as a "Dreamland" or the "City of fairy-tales and fantasies. (From introduction).
