Dear Colleagues

Please see details below for a talk* by Claudia Hopkins- The Orient
Within, December  11 at 18:00 via Zoom*

Claudia Hopkins will present aspects of her research from her recent
monograph: * Art and Identity in Spain 1833-1956. The Orient Within*
(Bloomsbury,
2024). The book examines how Spanish artists shaped perceptions of
Al-Andalus and northern Morocco, from Spain's liberal revolution of the
1830s to the end of the Protectorate of Morocco in 1956. Combining art
history with a cultural studies approach, and using exemplary case studies,
Hopkins foregrounds the diverse issues that underpin Orientalist
expression: reflections on history and the nation, cultural nationalism,
gender and sexuality, aesthetics and art commerce, colonialism and racial
thinking. In the process, the book challenges over-familiar understandings
of Western Orientalism.
Beyond Fortuny and Sorolla, many unfamiliar artists and exhibitions are
introduced, amongst them Villaamil, whose nostalgic landscapes evoked the
loss of Andalusi culture; Bécquer, who celebrated Spanish-Moroccan
peace-making through the lens of Velázquez; the Symbolist Rusiñol, whose
images of the Alhambra are infused with melancholy; Morcillo, whose
extraordinary camp images opened a new space for male subjectivity; Tapiró
and Bertuchi, who dedicated their lives to Morocco, and the Moroccan
Sarghini, who participated in the state-funded Painters of Africa
exhibitions in Franco's Madrid.
