"Indoor Gossip, Cairo" is a beautiful Harem painting by the Orientalist master John Frederick Lewis. The artist supplies a long description of each woman and with the intense detailing of the painting stakes a high claim to authoritative knowledge and artistic mastery. Lewis entered into a true relationship with Cairo: the city gave him the colours, the light, the architecture - the material he needed to become a great artist. Cairo made Lewis interrogate himself, the artist's relationship to his material, his social and political role, his integrity and, finally, his historic responsibility.
