Ways of Seeing
"Her body is arranged in the way it is, to display it to
the man looking at the picture. This picture is made to appeal
to his sexuality. It has nothing to do with her sexuality. (Here
and in the European tradition generally, the convention of not
painting the hair on a woman’s body helps towards the same
end. Hair is associated with~sexual power, with passion. The
woman’s sexual passion needs to be minimized so that the
spectator may feel that he has the monopoly of such passion.)
Women are there to feed an appetite, not to have any of their
own..."
