In the 1970’s as feminism rose in the art scene, you can notice how women painters painted intimate rooms such as bedroom, bathroom, living rooms, they put the eye level at the model’s eye level - at the children’s especially, while men painted extravagant places like a balcony overlooking a grandiose english garden, always looking down on things and people, no intimacy. Renoir painted these opera scenes where a woman’s chest is really exposed, her white, pale skin is the main focal point of the painting, and a man is looking at her boozoms with his binacular or whatever those r called. Then a woman painted some similiar paintings - the woman was still looked at but she wasn’t exposed, she wasn’t sitting with a man, she was painted as an individual, alone, and not as a prize or an object to look at and seek after. (This isn’t a gender war comment, but this post reminded me of this thing we learned at uni recently. Very fascinating imo. )
