AI overview
Orientalism refers to how Western artists, writers, and designers have depicted and imitated aspects of the Eastern world, particularly in 19th-century paintings of the Middle East and in literature. It matters because understanding these representations reveals how Western culture has shaped and expressed its fascination with—and often its ideas about—Eastern societies.
