About the Item

C. Calusd (1860-1936) An American painter specializing in Marine night paintings and Orientalist Scenes, he lived in Constantinople and had a studio at 225 5th Ave., New York City. Studied: Ecole des Beaux Arts Imperial in Constantinople; and pupil of the Shah's Court Painter, Valeri. Prizes: First prize and diploma of honor at the International Exhibit of Art in Bulgaria; Patronage of the Czar of Bulgaria; Queen Carmen Sylvia bought several of his paintings in Bucharest; President Woodrow Wilson hung his painting - Statue of Liberty of New York Harbor at Night - in the White House, Washington, D.C. in 1918. The French Society of Orientalist Painters was founded in 1893, with Jean-Léon Gérôme as the honorary president. The formation of the French Orientalist Painters Society changed the consciousness of practitioners towards the end of the 19th century, since artists could now see themselves as part of a distinct art movement. As an art movement, Orientalist painting is generally treated as one of the many branches of 19th-century academic art; however, many different styles of Orientalist art were in evidence. Art historians tend to identify two broad types of Orientalist artist: the realists who carefully painted what they observed such as Gustav Bauernfeint; and those who imagined Orientalist scenes without ever leaving the studio. French painters such as Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863) and Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824–1904) are widely regarded as the leading luminaries of the Orientalist movement.
