Both Gerome and Gentileschi placed their main nudes in the middle ground as well as some of their servants. However, Gerome's woman is placed in the center of middle ground. She is seated on a small wooden cage and surrounded by only one servant; while Gentileschi's nude is placed in very typical Baroque style, which is off the center on a right side of the painting. She is seated on an expensive green velvet pillow and surrounded by three servants, which tells the viewer about her high social status. In Gerome's “The Bath” figures are inside of bathroom, where light is coming through the small glazed window high above.
You can. Now, open up.” Thalia’s tongue slipped between her lips, the taste strong and sweet, sending frissons down Kay’s spine. Kay whimpered, the sound lost in Thalia’s mouth. Thalia’s hands firmed, moving intently over her body. Her shirt was pulled up, draped over her breasts, baring Kay to the room.
VISUAL DESCRIPTION Auguste Rodin; Cupid and Psyche 10.63.1 This sculpture depicts a nude man with wings being held by a woman who is also naked. The medium used to construct Cupid and Psyche is marble. The figures in this sculpture are very smooth and polished. The winged man in the sculpture appears to be weak as he towers helplessly over the woman, while holding on to an object that protrudes out of the base. Both the base and the object which stands erect from it, looks worn as they possess tiny rough markings.
Flappers represented a freedom of choice and equality to men. The flapper appearance tended to be more masculine than what had been popular in the past. Women would bind their chests with tight cloth in order to give a flat appearance. Flappers would not wear corsets to define curves, overall the body frame appeared more boyish. Flappers cut their hair in short styles, such as bobs and shingles which was opposite of the long hair known in the past.
Noble uses the wall and the male dancer’s wedding ring to symbolize the barrier between the lovers which is his marriage. Noble uses the wall to define the space of his choreography. The dancers for the most part stay within the edges of the wall, the depth of the piece is very shallow and contained. They are playing along the edge of adultery. One can see this in the chorography throughout the piece.
Men, on the other hand are “unmarked” because usually their style says nothing about themselves. Everything a woman wears says something about her or gives variation that sets her apart from the woman next to her. Men, on the other hand, can have the option to be unmarked; most men chose the standard according to Tannen. Tannen sets the standard for men by stating, “All eight men wore brown or blue slacks and nondescript shirts of light colors. No man wore sandals or boots; their shoes were dark, closed, comfortable and flat” (142).
It has 5 visible branches coming out of it, but all are completely empty. The only thing on the hangar is a small metal bowl which is placed on a stand all the way on the top of the hanger. Despite the hanger being empty, the woman’s clothes are lying of the floor, in front of the mattress. As previously stated, the woman is completely naked on the bed. She does not seem to pay any mind to this, however, and appears to be rather contempt with herself.
“With the straps pushed off, there was nothing between the top of the suit and the top of her head except just her... I mean, it was more than pretty.” The description of her bare shoulders shows the sexuality Queenie expresses. Queenie, without being overt, is still expressing her sexuality which is conveyed innocently. He is also drawn in by her unattainability. Coming to the end of the story, Sammy had become completely infatuated with Queenie.
The figure’s head, feet and hands are each pointed straight forward, putting an emphasis on the frontal view. I have noticed that the statue is thin, taller than it is wide, and that the eyes, navel, genitals, mouth, and nose are perfectly centered and aligned. The statue stands on very large feet (which I believe are out of proportion to the rest of the statue) that are firmly planted on a square base. The feet also seem quite flat, which seems un-realistic, but then again, there is no knowing of how feet have changed since the
