Abstract

The ideas and images presented in this paper, and the accompanying exhibition represent a portion of my research in the subjects of the Female Nude in Art History, as well as my exploration of related subjects including female self portraits, the male gaze in art, and the psychological impact of self-made, self-representations by women both in art history, and in contemporary American social media (i.e."selfies").
