Assignment in Comm 1

Main Idea:

  • The book review mainly talks about how today's art differs from the traditional way of art after the technology prospered over the years and at the same time explained how "subjects of paintings have their own social meaning" at the light of the female nude painting. 

Supporting Ideas:

  • It was somehow understandable that the book review wanted to show that today's art is more widely reproduced than before while the traditional art is more prized because it was the only way to capture the moment that people experienced.
  • The book review also stated that the traditional art changed "at the advent of the camera which has manipulated the way we look at art today". The camera paved way to the reproduction of art in a way that it was available for everyone.
  • The book review focused on the female nude painting and understood how the females were some kind of used for the sexual pleasure of the men viewing them.
