It could be staked that Westerners of different occupations, genders, and even regions could view a piece of art in polar outlooks. However, she makes the assertation that the point of view is primarily meant for a Westerner, which is too generalized for the perceivers after the era in which the art was made. Artists of this time should capture the moments in history, as thought by Linda Nochlin. That is respected because in the time of war and discrimination Gérôme still exalted the true essence of the Oriental culture. She takes interest in the detail that Gérôme is a Frenchman who portrays the Oriental culture in a matter that does not display the fact that his country is causing violence and turmoil in the actual setting of his painting. Nochlin when she considers the perspectives that artists like, Jean-Léon Gérôme and Eugène Delacroix makes sufficient evidence of analysis. Elements she focuses her theories on are the experiences of the artist, the angle that is present, and the purposeful absences in the art. She appears to make her major claims on the art of this time period in very explicitly. Linda Nochlin’s “The Imaginary Orient” (1989) illuminates the scholarly view of nineteenth century Orientalism.
