Candice Bergen Orientalists Art Preference

Candice Bergen
There is a painting in the Williamstown museum whose name I forget, but it is an oil by Jerome of a scene in the Middle East, an Orientalist painting of a young boy, naked, standing with his back to the viewer, and he is surrounded by men sitting, smoking hookahs, transfixed, that is so beautiful and suggestive … I love it. I love all the Orientalists. I also love the Monet Moroccan series. A landscape in Munich by Altdorfer that is magnificent. The Zurbaran Lemons. Any Giacometti.
