Abstract
ABSTRACT During the corona-lockdown, the Dutch Emily de Klerk sat down to digest her Sikh sketches and photographs. Among the results are the 10 drawings included in this essay. While they overall reflect her fascination with Punjab and the Sikhs, they specifically also channelized a feeling of empathy with the farmers protest in New Delhi to which Sikhs play a fundamental role. In the essay, Bob van der Linden embeds Emily's drawings in the light of earlier (colonial) paintings and drawings made of Sikhs by Western artists. Afterwards, an interview provides further context to Emily's work.
在冠状病毒封锁期间,荷兰人艾米莉·德克勒克(Emily de Klerk)坐下来消化她的锡克教素描和照片。结果中包括了本文所包含的10张图纸。虽然它们总体上反映了她对旁遮普和锡克教徒的迷恋,但它们也特别表达了她对新德里农民抗议活动的同情,锡克教徒在这场抗议活动中发挥了重要作用。在这篇文章中,鲍勃·范德林登将艾米丽的绘画与早期(殖民时期)西方艺术家的锡克教绘画结合起来。之后,一个采访为Emily的工作提供了进一步的背景。
