Europe & The Orient

This volume offers an analysis of the range of criss-crossing encounters between East & West. Several essays investigate the problems faced by Europeans in categorising and appreciating Asian art forms and tries to demonstrate how the "European - Orient" theme attracted specialists of many types.

The volume thus provides glimpses of the way the "other" could be appropriated for specific and strategic purposes. and probes the impact of "exotic" forms and ideas on Western artistic and intellectual practice.
