Gaze

European gaze is usually considered to be male, but in Dutch art, this is not the case. The Reformed church did not support public art so the majority of paintings were bought for a private viewing. In Dutch culture, taking care of the home was the woman’s job and this included buying art. Because of this they were often the viewer and the buyer of the work so artist started to appeal to the woman’s ideals, and gaze. Even though Dutch painting was probably primarily seen through a feminine gaze,…

the direction of the fracture they will have crossed diplopia and uncrossed diplopia when looking the opposite direction. If he has an orbital floor blowout fracture then, for example: if he sees the diplopic image higher on up-gaze, it will be seen as lower on down-gaze (Ansons and Davis,…

Contemporary urban society, amidst other things, is largely characterized by the presence of various technologies that have given rise to the creation of new forms of control. These new structures of power are subtle yet intense in nature, in the sense that they regulate an individual’s life usually through disguised means. In my paper, I will attempt to explain how Jeremy Bentham's design of the ‘Panopticon’, as explained by Foucault , can be understood as the basis for the creation of…

religion and faith, but rather the booming capitalist economy (Bracken 1). F. Scott Fitzgerald carefully and purposefully wove the ascension of the eyes of T. J. Eckleburg into The Great Gatsby, forcing the characters to feel the weight of Eckleburg’s gaze in their lives. Had Fitzgerald abstained from emphasizing the significance of the eyes, both the characters and the readers would not have realized the mounting supremacy of the billboard. Only being an oculist’s billboard, the eyes of T. J.…

since the forms are well-defined, I would consider this painting linear even though there are no real lines. One prime example of directional lines are the several gazes towards Socrates which points out the emphasis of the painting. As well as Socrates’ own gaze which aims at his arm, and the combinations of the shadow and the man’s gaze on the far left also keep the eye focused inside the painting. Even down to the line on the floor that helps the eye from leaving the painting.…

Glass Puzzle, a 1973 video performance by Joan Jonas, is a work of recursive introspection. It is simultaneously a video of a performance and a performance of video, using the medium as a form of spatial sculpture. The core elements in the piece consist of Jonas and her doppelganger, Lois Lane, the studio they’re performing in, a swinging bar affixed to the ceiling, their gestures and poses, the camera recording their performance (the active camera), the monitor receiving the projection of that…

Andrew Milner cites Laura Mulvey and her idea of the Male gaze and Scopophilia in his article Darker Cities. Mulvey believes that in film, audiences have to view characters that are often female from the perspective of a heterosexual male. Certain features of Male Gaze includes the camera lingering on the curves of the female body and events which occur to women are presented largely in the context of a man’s reaction to these events. Milner in his article talks about Ridley Scott’s film Blade…

Personally, this film seemed to have a lot going on but in a very simplistic way. The use of “pure cinema” was also used in a variety of cinematic shots of pure genius to helped take the audience in a romance and suspenseful journey through the female gaze of Alicia Huberman (Ingrid Bergman). Hitchcock’s main goal throughout Notorious was to focus on the relationships that were developing, all while putting in the “MacGuffin” in the plot that leads the characters…

05:24.960 - 05:25. 580 before he asks, “Any other questions?” Next, the teacher utilizes the eye gaze to indicate a transition. According to Winston (2017), “Eye gaze . . . often marks utterance boundaries (p. The pattern of this visual discourse feature is very interesting because not only does the teacher consistently use eye gaze to cue his transition, but there is a pattern associated with his eye gaze. He alternates between gazing at the blackboard and then at the students in the class. He…

“personalization” of his heart seems inherently intertwined with his more sinister activity; many scholars argue that “Sick Bacchus” depicts a rather eroticized image of himself. Bersani and Dutoit argue that the gaze of the boy in the painting draws the viewer into a sense of excitement, both through the gaze and the boy’s posture describing "the soliciting move toward the viewer, and the self-concealing move away from the…
