Jamie James explores the lives and works of six Western artists who sought refuge and inspiration in remote, non-Western cultures during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Through meticulous research, the author examines the complex interplay between creative obsession and the vanishing traditions of the exotic, offering a nuanced look at the motivations behind these transformative journeys.
