Encouraged by the success of Romanticism in portraying the exceptional and the exotic subjects. Several French painters travelled to North Africa and Middle East painting scenes of ‘Oriental’ history and the contemporary life. Delacroix was one of the first and the most convincing. Many others followed, notably Gerome. Other preferred to used their imagination and let it run wild, depicting their version of the imaging ‘Orient’, like Ingres A particular popular theme was the harem. Since no European man had ever been into a harem their works were mostly frictional. British painters like John Frederic Lewis and William Holman Hunt also embarked on their journey of discovery. Both men also spent part of their life living in the Middle East. They have also bought back images of what they experienced in the ‘Orient’.

LECTURE
The Fate of Native Americans
After the Louisiana Purchase, the westward expansion increased to the ultimate detriment of the Native populations. Between 1790 and 1860 the population of non-Native Americans increased from 4 to 31 million, many of these moving west. Albert Bierstadt celebrated the rustic landscape of the West through European painting modes. Journalists such as John Soule and Horace Greeley also fueled the expansion, urging “Go West, young man, and grow up with the country.” The settlers and Indians had different views of land as well. For settlers, land was a commodity that could be divided up and traded and sold at will. The Indians, in contrast, view that land as a part of a harmonious whole of which they were an integral, but not a separable part.
The fate of the Indian tribes was tied to the Buffalo, their primary food supply. In an effort to accelerate their demise, General Philip Sheridan (1831–1888) urged settlers to kill the buffalo. This was facilitated by the construction of the transcontinental railroad.
An artist sympathetic to the plight of the Indians was George Catlin (1796–1872), a painter who, from a base in St Louis, made five trips into Indian Territory west of the Mississippi. His paintings provide us with substantial ethnographic data of the Indians and their dwellings. Catlin believed the Indians were doomed to extinction because of the westward expansion and saw himself as a recorder of their noble culture ...

Although the museum is one of the youngest in the United States, it is fairly large and comprehensive museum, a significant representation of European art, ranging from antiquity to the present day. The museum was inaugurated only in 1965. However, a large part of the collection came from the Los Angeles Museum of History, Science and Art, which was established a century earlier.

ART THROUGH THE AGES
1. The Beginnings of Art
Art history, which begins around 30,000 B.C. with the earliest known cave paintings,
predates writing by about 26,500 years! That makes art history even older than history,
which begins with the birth of script around 3500 B.C. Along with archaeology, art
history is one of our primary windows into prehistory (everything before 3500 B.C.).
Cave paintings, prehistoric sculpture, and architecture together paint a vivid — although
incomplete — picture of Stone Age and Bronze Age life. Without art history, we would
know a lot less about our early ancestors.
With the beginning of history with the invention of script around 3500 B.C. the need for
art is still felt by humanity. And studying that art is still very important to understand the
past, since history is the diary of the past; this means that ancient peoples wrote about
themselves, so that we know their own interpretation of facts, not things as they were. Art
history is instead the mirror of the past. It shows us who we were, instead of telling us, as
history does. History is the study of wars and conquests, mass migrations, and political
and social experiments. Art history is a portrait of man’s inner life: his aspirations and
inspirations, his hopes and fears, his spirituality and sense of self.
2. The Great Ancient Civilizations
If we know who we were 10,000 years ago, we have a better sense of who we are today.
Even studying a few Ancient Greek vases can reveal a lot about modern society — if you
know how to look at and read the vases. Many Greek vases show us what ancient Greek
theater looked like; modern theater and cinema are the direct descendants of Greek
theater. Greek vases depict early musical instruments, dancers dancing, and athletes
competing in the ancient Olympics, the forerunner of the modern Olympic Games. Some
vases show us the role of women and men: Women carry vases called hydrias; men paint
those vases. Ancient art teaches us about past religions (which still affect our modern
religions) and the horrors of ancient war craft. Rameses II’s monument celebrating his
battle against the Hittites and Trajan’s Column, which depicts the Emperor Trajan’s
conquest of Dacia (modern day Romania), are enduring eyewitness accounts of ancient
battles that shaped nations and determined the languages we speak today. Art isn’t just
limited to paintings and sculptures. Architecture, another form of art, reveals the way
men and women responded to and survived in their environment, as well as how they
defined and defended themselves.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

4. Introduction
In the 19th century, a trend for the Orient appeared. The artists were
inspired by its luxury, its mystery and the supernatural that surrounded
this part of the world. But this new craze for Orientalism was also the
reflection of several historical events such as:
-the Egyptian campaign (1798-1799)
-the Greek war for Independence (1821-1829)
-the conquest of Algiers by the French (1830)
-the opening of the Suez Canal (1869)
-the progressive dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire because of
rivalries and of colonial ambitions.
5. History of the Orientalism
1. Definition:
Orientalism refers to the “Orient” + “Occident”.
“Orient” means “The East”
“Occident” means “The West”.
‘Orientalism’ word’s root word is ‘Oriens’ which means……….
The Eastern Part of the World
The East
The Rising Sun
Daybreak &
Dawn
Thus Orientalism means styles, aspects or traits considered characteristics of the
people of Asia.
6. 2. The First Orientalists:
The first "Orientalists" were 19th century
scholars who translated the writings of the
Orient into English, based on the idea that an
effective colonial downfall requires knowledge of
the dominated peoples.
This is the idea of knowledge as a power
by Said.
Said thinks that by knowing the Orient, the West
came to own it.
There is the image of the Orient as passive while
the West was active.
So according to Said, it is imperialism which
motivated Orientalism.
7. Orientalism In Art
1.Imitation of Oriental styles
Imitations of oriental styles began in the 18th century with the
Turqueries that could be found in clothing, literature, music and
furniture.
Then, from 18th century, Western designers attempted to imitate
the technical sophistication of Chinese ceramics, this was called
Chinoiserie.
After 1860, Japonaiserie became an important influence in the
western arts.
James McNeill Whistler's "Peacock Room" is one of the finest
works of this genre.
10. 2. Examples of Orientalism in Arts:
In Literature…
1704, the first French translation of “Arabian Nights” by Antoine Galland.
In Poetry…
1816, The poem “Kubla Khan” by S.T. Coleridge
In Painting…
the painting ofJean-Léon Géromés La Prière dans la maison.
In Music…
Popular song “Princess of China” by Coldplay and Rihanna.
11. Edward Said & Orientalism
Orientalism had no negative connotation before
Said’s work publication of “Orientalism”.
Said emphasized the relationship between power and knowledge.
Said argued that Orient and Occident worked as oppositional terms, so that
the "Orient" was constructed as a negative inversion of Western culture.
The historian Bernard Lewis, also criticized Said's theory. He argues that Orient
as a negative mirror image of the West is not wholly true.
Recently, the term Occidentalism has been used to refer to the negative
views of the Western world that can sometimes be found in Eastern societies
today.
