I’ve chosen the photograph of Donna Gottschalk for my essay. Here’s the photo of Gottschalk with a sign saying “I am your worst fear. I am your best fantasy” during the LGBTQ rights movements during the 1970’s. For my essay I’ll be further more discussing the central point of this image and my own persecutive matching burgers key points. For example who is the photographer trying to capture during this picture. Of course men, especially during those times women didn’t have much say. Just as Berger’s speaks on his episodes women were only seen as objects during the European oil paintings. They would be naked but those who painted them were men fully dressed.
This is a good start, but I’m wondering how the image of Gottschalk specifically addresses Berger’s ideas about how oil paintings tend to objectify women.
