The work is presented in the form of two volumes brought together in a box: the first studies the transformation of orientalism into colonial art through the example of
French painters who left for Morocco during the colonization. The second volume is a dictionary of these 470 artists. From the 1890s and during the first half of the 20th century, artistic Orientalism gradually disappeared to give way to colonial art. This evolution is the reflection of a conceptual, but also political, metamorphosis of the Orient. This space, with its location
imprecise that artists can populate at leisure with their fantasies, turns into colonies, territories dominated by France which will work to
"pacify," explore, inventory. In what ways does colonization affect the pictorial practice of artists? It is through the example of artists who left
in the Moroccan Protectorate that this work studies the differences and similarities between Orientalism and colonial art. Several aspects of colonial art are presented: its institutionalization in France which involves the creation of colonial artistic societies and its promotion within universal exhibitions; the different types of artists who went to Morocco (the sedentary, the travelers and the "tourists"); the birth of a milieu
artistic in the Protectorate (museums, galleries, workshops); the legacy of orientalism in colonial painting; finally, the characteristic subjects of this
current. The dictionary presents the biographical notices of French painters who went to Morocco between 1912 and 1956, focusing on their stay in Morocco.
