<p>BARBARA KRUGER.. Your gaze hits the side of my face.<br>
I find this image and a lot of her other works very powerful. The use if ready created images used montage with powerful wording aimed at certain people, groups or a collective. <br>
I used this image in my work to illustrate the theory of the gaze. As I am looking in to the way women are viewed differently from men this will work perfectly! I have stated in my essay how the gaze is to say a first opinion. It shows what you immediately think of someone and how that is changeable. It talks about women acting a certain way just to be seen.
I have talked about how the gaze on women from men and women have changed dramatically due to events such ad wars and the financial economy. It has also changed from the reaction of men. For example the second world war. Men had to rush off to battle an women were left at home to accomplish the previous jobs of men abd to also raise a family. This pressure on women allowed them to step up and prove that they could do it. Etc etc
Krugers work changed the way parts if society focused. It touched on personal attributes that were influenced by society and helped changed the view of women as an object of men.
