The Orient in Western Art by Gérard-Georges Lemaire

The orient and the mystical images it evokes have always been a special source of inspiration in the history of european painting.

From the Venetian portrayal of the Renaissance and the first examples of Turkish Fashion to the heyday of the 19th century and the Tunis paintings by August Macke and Paul Klee, this volume traces the development of the oriental motif in painting.

Geographically so near, culturally so different, the countries of the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa have influenced both the oriental vogue of the baroque period and also the popular oriental genre in the fine arts.

At the same time, the mysterious aura of the orient has repeatedly served as a romantically idealized counterpoint and escape route for european fantasies. Features individual chapters devoted to important artists including Delacroix, Picasso, and Kandinsky, extensive articles on special themes such as the image of the harem and the oriental fantasies of the Impressionists.

This is the inside story of , a party whose destiny was inextricably linked to, and ultimately fractured by, its historic rivalry with Malaysia’s UMNO.

Narrated in three parts, it is an oral history spun in a journalistic mode, unapologetically spiced with anecdotes, quotes, and human interest to breathe life into past events. To re-enact this political theatre-cum-human drama, three writers from The Straits Times backed by four researchers conducted some 300 interviews across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, and China.

This on-the-ground reporting was supplemented by about 200 oral history interviews from the National Archives of Singapore. The result is a dramatic, unvarnished account of the PAP—warts, blemishes, and all—focusing heavily on the pivotal, cross-Causeway moments that forever altered the trajectories of both Singapore and Malaysia.
