Description: | Signed: yes Description: Armand Point was one of a number of nineteenth-century European artists who depicted scenes based in North Africa or the Near East that emphasised exotic otherness. In this early work that gained success at the Salon, Point painted carpet weavers working in a semi-domestic space, a subject that must have registered in terms of cultural difference to the owner of this painting, a member of the Holden family who were involved in industrial textile manufacture in Bradford and France. Later in his career, Point further rejected the modern industrial world by drawing on early Renaissance styles and embracing Symbolism. | Subjects: | everyday life; trade and industry (weaving) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Point, Armand (French painter and designer, 1861-1932) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8856... | Go to resource |
