Ways of Seeing Book Report

The first is one of the many ways that people perceive the world. The second is of sexuality, power and how men and women differ in nude or naked paintings. The third topic is possession in art and how it can affect morality, define status or cause desire for owning a particular commodity. The fourth can be said to be of publicity and its nature along with art as private property and creating desire through this publicity.
             The arguments build on the points mentioned earlier through each chapter in relation to the topic discussed. The first chapter serves mostly as an introduction for the title of the book. It delegates the importance to the reader that different people in different cultures have a unique perspective on what art is and how it is applied in various occasions. It also explains the orientation of art before cameras were invented. It shows the reader that painting a portrait was a formal process and the different aspects of how a person was portrayed gives off a certain allure as to what the particular person's personality was like. The first chapter also speaks of how God does not merely situate himself in one place and therefore has no need for perspective. This then led to advances in the way paintings were created and played with. Paintings capture a moment in time that cannot be recreated. There is a sense that reproduction of a work of art reduces the original work's value as it can be available for many people around the world. The second chapter is one of images. The pictures here are all female. Furthermore the females are all nude. This exposure gives an erotic sense of sexuality and is striking for the reader. There are various images either painted or photographed to depict a feeling of wonder and excitement in most cases for the reader. The second chapter is an introduction to the third chapter which is composed mainly of sexual implications in art.
