Presents a systematic critique of Edward Said's work "Orientalism". This book looks at the destructive influence of Said's study on the history of Western painting, especially of the 19th century, and shows how the epigones of Said have succeeded in relegating thousands of first-class paintings to the lofts and storage rooms of major museums.
