Assouline – Orientalism Style

More than a style, Orientalism is a way of seeing, of perceiving, of sharing emotions and palettes of colours, sensations. For centuries, the West has been fascinated by the mysterious allure of the Middle East and Asia, captivated by the curious customs, the exotic spices and colors of the bazaars, the romantic atmosphere of the graceful architecture and flowing garments. Orientalism offers a vision filled with dreams, secrets, poetry, a sensuous tableau perfumed with incense, interweaving past and present.

Assouline’s Style series spotlights some of the most iconic art movements and design styles, revealing their historical impact and continuing influence on culture today.
