Abstract

The East was and still carries with it many sources of inspiration for the West, which was embodied in the works of European artists, and they came with different intentions and visions, and the trend of “Orientalism" became a historical reality that shows the extent of the influence of the magic of the East on Western and Arab art, past and modern. There is no doubt that “Women", with their features and life, occupied the first place in the subjects of “Orientalist" works, until they became a symbol of life in the East. And the image of the eastern woman was formed in the minds of Western society through the artistic spread of that movement, and it sparked controversy and views differed. The research deals with an artistic experiment based on re-presenting the image of women as a symbol through a group of works in the field of illustrations as a creation parallel to the idea presented, namely: re-inspiring the image of oriental women drawn by “Orientalists" in the past, and changing some aspects of this image in line with the variables of thought in the modern era, The change of women's ideas in a world characterized by freedom, and the possibility of benefiting from these drawings in a work of art and a contemporary visual vision through an (Artist Book).
