      title = {Inspired by the East : how the Islamic world influenced  Western art /},
      abstract = {A broad view of the West's complex relationship with the  Middle East and North Africa, told through a selection of  exquisite art objects. The West has long had a fascination  with the art and culture of the "Orient." The volume sheds  light on the complex cultural exchange between these  civilisations, which has generated a profusion of beautiful  objects, perhaps most famously the Orientalist paintings  and decorative arts of the nineteenth century. This richly  illustrated book offers a new perspective on what the  Islamic world has meant to the Western artists, designers,  and thinkers. At the same time, instances of East looking  West are explored, as artists in the Middle East and North  Africa used and subverted the Orientalist gaze for their  own purposes. The collection of essays approach the subject  from a variety of viewpoints, investigating questions of  authenticity, exoticism, intercultural connections, and  globalization over five centuries.},
