# Piotr Uklanski: Ottomania - Hardcover

by **Piotr Uklanski** (Artist)

**Taxonomies of Orientalism in art, from Piotr Uklanski**

Celebrated Polish-born artist Piotr Uklanski (born 1968) established himself in the mid-1990s with a diverse body of work examining the ever-changing relationship between identity, history and culture.

Continuing this investigation, Uklanski's new book, _Ottomania_, traces the phenomenon of Orientalist portraiture over the past 500 years. This book contains over 200 paintings, drawings, prints and photography--images of men in turbans, theatrically embellished masculine dress, richly decorated fabrics, the codification of facial hair and the romantic settings of Ottoman or Persian court life--from Rembrandt, Zurbar n, Liotard, Tiepolo, Rubens, Delacroix, Schiele, Matisse, Picasso, de Chirico, Dal , Balthus and Leonor Fini.

Uklanski orders the works roughly by theme, demonstrating how Western artists exploited key Orientalist signifiers, in dress, setting and pose, in order to portray their sitters--men, women and children--as worldly, romantic and in other ways exotic.
