MALE SEXUALITY AND THE FEMALE GAZE

At Lewisham Arthouse, London, United Kingdom
On 29th April 2018 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Description

Join London Drawing Group's Luisa-Maria MacCormack at Lewisham Arthouse this April 29th as we turn gender stereotypes on their head with a drawing class like no other:

"Male Sexuality and the Female Gaze", is a day-workshop designed to challenge and unpick gender stereotypes within classical painting, exploring gender bias throughout western art-history from the first Grecian sculptures through to Renaissance works such as the Rokeby Venus, and finally, to deeply controversial works such as Allan Jones’ Chair. Nick Harris, a performance artist and model will be tackling poses taken from classical paintings and sculpture that depict the female form, upending the natural tendency for male models to take on ‘manly’ poses, we will be exploring the ideas of sexualization, conformity and the disparity between classical ideas of the female and male nude.

A class designed to inform, confront and explore what we think we know about nudity in painting, join us as we unpick ideas of display, shame, and nakedness, nudity and the subtle (and not so subtle) ways that the idea of the ‘Male Gaze’ has permeated our collective art-historical record. Led by our resident LDG Art History Tutor Luisa Maria MacCormack expect to unravel both the ideas of the ‘Male Gaze’ and the image of ‘Female Sexuality’ itself, through both talks on the histories that surround the artworks, and through the act of re-drawing, re-interpreting, and re-imagining the role of the male body in art.
