Description
” While the conquering Europe became familiar with the figure of the “savage”, this in turn, was also beginning to incorporate this “other” pale complexion in his own symbolic and artistic universe. And that’s the story that will be talking about. ” (Nicolas Menut) Off the beaten track, this book illustrates the performances of the white man in non-Western arts. Using a rich and varied iconography, and based on a text in which he is both a question of art and history, it is a real inverted look, fascinating and poetic, is proposed . “The White Man” is an invitation to curiosity, an exotic journey through surprising works and, for some, unknown to date.
