Dutch to English: From art catalogue text about Orhan Pamuk General field: Art/Literary
Source text - Dutch In een schilderij is geen plaats voor de aardse realiteit – voor aardse onderwerpen of aardse sporen van een ondermaanse beeldenmaker. Een schilderij dient niet om ons een beeld te geven van een banale werkelijkheid die we ook buiten dat schilderij kunnen zien. Evenmin mag dat schilderij ook maar het geringste spoor verraden van hij die, hoe geniaal ook, de penselen hanteerde. De kunst die wij sinds de Renaissance beoefenen, kunst die de realiteit afbeeldt en pronkt met haar letterlijke en figuurlijke signatuur, is vanuit dit Ottomaans perspectief misdadige kunst.
Translation - English In a painting, there is no place for earthly reality, for earthly matters or earthly traces of a terrestrial image maker. A painting does not serve to give us an image of a mundane reality that we can see beyond the painting. Likewise, the painting should not betray even the slightest trace of whoever was holding the brushes, however brilliant he may be. The art that we have practised since the Renaissance, art that depicts reality and flaunts its literal and figurative signature, is from this Ottoman perspective criminal art.
