The Painting and Writing of Gustave Guillaumet
Zoppellari, Anna
2014
Abstract
The article analyzes the orientalist work of Gustave Guillaumet, by means of
exhibition of the world similar to that which was implemented in the great nineteenthcentury
exhibitions. The journalist-painter tends to construct a labyrinthine space,
in which the North African reality is exhibited according to realistic aesthetic codes,
but with fundamentally colonialist ideological objectives. The narration of the Great
1867 Exposition is inscribed in this view. To this, Guillaumet dedicated one of his
articles originally published in the Nouvelle Revue and then merged into the posthumous
volume, Tableaux algériens (1888).
