ABSTRACT European artists of the eighteenth century framed an exotic textual and visual narrative of the Pacific, drawing largely on knowledge gained from exploratory journeys of the 1760s and 1770s. Visual representations of the Pacific became socially fashionable and commercially successful. The French wallpaper manufacturer, Dufour, captured this commercial potential in a dramatic, panoramic wallpaper that told stories of European encounters with Pacific peoples: Les Sauvages de la Mer Pacifique (1804). Yet it was selective, defining the Pacific by moments of contact with Cook and other explorers. Lisa Reihana's In Pursuit of Venus [Infected] (2015–17) dramatically interrogates the eighteenth-century narrative of the Pacific, responding to Dufour's wallpaper in a complex, panoramic work. By attending to ways in which the factual and speculative are brought together in Enlightenment artefacts and Reihana's restaging of them, we explore how art might be put to use in the service of historical interpretation.

有争议的历史的艺术:追求金星[受感染]和太平洋遗留

摘要十八世纪的欧洲艺术家在很大程度上借鉴了从1760年代和1770年代的探索之旅中获得的知识,对太平洋进行了异国情调的文字和视觉叙事。太平洋的视觉表现已成为社交时尚和商业上的成功。法国墙纸制造商杜福尔(Dufour)在一个引人入胜的全景墙纸中捕捉到了这种商业潜力,该墙纸讲述了欧洲与太平洋地区人民的相遇故事:《和平报》(1806)。然而,它是有选择性的,是通过与库克和其他探险家的接触来定义太平洋的。丽莎·雷哈娜(Lisa Reihana)的《追求金星(感染)》(2015-17年)极大地审视了太平洋18世纪的叙事,以复杂的全景作品回应了杜福尔的墙纸。
