Mysterious Figure

In Chapter 3 of "Ways of Seeing," John Berger examines how social presence differs between men and women. He argues that a man's presence is defined by his promise of power, while a woman's presence reflects her self-perception and the way society views her. The chapter delves into the representation of the female body in art and its objectification, as seen in works like Ingres' "La Grande Odalisque." By contrasting male and female nudes, Berger invites readers to question their perceptions and the implications of gendered viewing in art history.
