"Harem" is an artwork by French Post-Impressionist painter Émile Bernard, created in 1908 during a period when the artist was heavily influenced by his travels and exposure to different cultures. The painting is a depiction of a harem scene, a common theme that fascinated many European artists in the 19th and early 20th centuries, often as part of the Orientalist movement. Bernard's interpretation of the harem reflects a blend of his Symbolist roots and the stylistic elements he absorbed from his interactions with other avant-garde artists of his time, such as Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh.

The painting features a group of women in a luxuriously decorated interior, which is typical of the Western fantasy of Eastern harems. Bernard's use of color and form in "Harem" shows a departure from the naturalism of his earlier works, moving towards a more simplified and decorative aesthetic. The figures are stylized, with an emphasis on flat areas of bold color and strong outlines, which demonstrate the influence of both Cloisonnism—a style characterized by clear outlines and flat areas of color—and Japanese prints, which were popular among avant-garde artists in the late 19th century.

"Harem" is significant in Bernard's oeuvre as it encapsulates the artist's transition from Impressionism to a more personal and synthesized approach to painting. It also reflects the broader European artistic interest in Orientalism, which often romanticized and exoticized Eastern cultures. The painting is part of a larger body of work by Bernard that engages with themes of exoticism and the exploration of spirituality and sensuality through art.

As a notable work by Émile Bernard, "Harem" contributes to the understanding of Post-Impressionist developments in French art and the cross-cultural exchanges that influenced European art at the turn of the 20th century. The painting is also an example of how Western artists of the period interpreted and represented non-Western cultures, raising questions about cultural appropriation and the accuracy of such depictions. "Harem" remains an important piece for studying the intersections of art, culture, and history during a time of significant change in the art world.
