The late Ottoman Empire witnessed widespread and dramatic reform, which was vividly reflected in its visual culture. However, while other political and social developments in this period have received much attention, the interaction between Ottoman and Western artists and artistic practices is less widely understood. Ottoman Painting explores fully this complex and fascinating relationship for the first time, using vivid examples and drawing many intriguing and original connections. Wendy M. K. Shaw demonstrates how during the 19th century - the very era when rapidly proliferating modernist artistic movements in the West were giving up traditional styles, techniques and functions of art - artists in the Ottoman Empire and Turkey were harnessing these discarded traditions as a novel and modern means of communication. And far from being simply slow in embracing modernity, Ottoman art tells the story of a different kind of avant-garde, representing a cultural revolution. Ottoman Painting is an important corrective to a Western-dominated view of the art history of an era and a stimulating addition to our understanding of the cultural life of the late Ottoman Empire.
Wendy M. K. Shaw is a Professor of Art History in the Department of Art History and the Center for Cultural Studies Program in World Arts at the University of Bern, Switzerland. She is the author of Possessors and Possessed: Museums, Archaeology, and the Visualization of History in the Late Ottoman Empire. Her research interests lie particularly in the history and theory of institutions of art and visual culture at the intersections of cultural identity.
