Eyes of Love : The Gaze in English and French Paintings and Novels 1840-1900 (Picturing History)
Автор:Stephen Kern Год: 2004 Издание: [не указанo] Страниц: 283 ISBN: 0948462833 Book Description In Eyes of Love , Stephen Kern offers a bold reinterpretation of women in art and literature. He shows that the frequent recurrence of the "Proposal Composition" in English and French nineteenth-century paintings and novels challenges assumptions about "the gaze"_that women are merely passive erotic objects, while men are active erotic subjects. The eyes of women express a more varied range of thoughts than those of men, and convey more profound emotions.
