Scholarship has highlighted the prevalence of harem imagery throughout nineteenth-century art. However, few works have addressed images of the harem that problematize traditionally associated ideas of heterosexual fantasy and phallic control. This paper explores such problems as presented in Lecomte du Nouÿ’s 1876 painting The Gate of the Harem.

2:15 PM – 3:30 PM: First Afternoon Session & Discussion

Kathryn Kremnitzer, Columbia University, “Tracing Mlle Victorine in the Costume of an Espada”
*** Throughout the 1860s, Edouard Manet employed watercolor as an intermediary between painting and printmaking, enabling pictorial revision from canvas to copperplate. This presentation will explore his largely overlooked corpus of watercolors, thus augmenting our understanding of his conceptual and compositional concerns across media.
Galina Olmsted, University of Delaware, “’Je compte absolument sur vous’: Gustave Caillebotte and the 1877 Exhibition”
