- According to Berger's argument, why might one generalize that "men act and women appear"?
How is this similar to the idea that women constantly survey themselves?
- Why are the repercussions of the "Fall" of Adam and Eve, which Berger sees as implicit in much European painting (and in culture generally), problematic for women?
- How does Berger interpret the Venus and Cupid painting from Lely?
- What is the distinction Berger makes between "naked" and "nude"?
- Why do nudes in general, as Berger implies, have "nothing to do" with a women's sexuality?
- What is the "contradiction" implicit in the artistic tradition of the nude, according to Berger?
