Claudia Hopkins will present aspects of her research from her recent monograph: <i>
Art and Identity in Spain 1833-1956. The Orient Within</i> (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.</div>

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.</div>
