I want to research the issue of body image and the female nude in relation to film and painting.
In my previous essay I had started this subject but barely got to touch on some important points. I had only discussed Lisa Yuskavage and a small bit on Lena Dunham's Girls show. Here are some more areas that I want to look into and discuss further and connect.
FILM AND TV
Lena Dunham - film and tv
- american culture and media
- the medias response and backlash
- recieved alot of hate for girls
New series Outlander has scenes that are made for viewing pleasure of the female
ART
John Currin - how his erotic works are perceived differently to Lisa yuskavage because of gender
- pornography same as Lisa yuskavage
Different feminist art, erotic vs grotesque - Lisa yuskavage vs Jenny Saville, and how currins are quite erotic
Cecile Brown and her works
pipilotti rist
How female artists painting female nudes are perceived differently. if the woman is overweight the issue becomes about weight, if the woman is old the issue is age, and self portraits are often seen as narcissist if the artist is female, male artists are given more leeway and more freedom in the way of perception.
