Why Are The Oscars Popular?

Oscar season is a time for people to appreciate film as an art form in all its different facets, from costume design to editing. This event has occurred for over half a century and therefore it has become normalized, so we do not question its existence. But why is it the most popular art-based award […]Read Post ›

The Green Lady at the Davis Museum

A Joshua Reynolds painting at the Davis Museum recently had a symposium on its research. Here’s a bit of back story of the preliminary research.

Who Doesn’t Love A Good Love Story?

As our readers, you all know it’s no secret how much we at The Female Gaze love the arts. It’s also no secret just how deeply entwined love and art are; love, lust, lovers, and love stories have been popular subjects for centuries in cultures around the world. Tender, poignant, tragic, sensual, and humorous representations […]Read Post ›

When your love for learning a subject trumps student debt

A few days before the New Year, my power went out and I was alone. It was scary, and without the distraction of entertainment run by electricity, I decided to write. I decided to draft my application to graduate school. I lit some candles, poured some red wine, wrapped myself in blankets and used what […]Read Post ›

Reality TV vs. Re-Watching TV

Women as Art Collectors in Renaissance Europe: Isabella d’Este and Margaret of Austria

When Artists Steal vs. Copy

Before I opened this article, I was skeptical because the Artnet News Facebook page described it as “Your favorite Klimt paintings, transformed into high-end fashion photography.”  High-end fashion photography tends to either be trendy and chic or ridiculous and overdone.  However, upon opening the link and seeing Inge Prader’s photographs in comparison with the paintings, I […]Read Post ›

Puttin’ on the Ritts: Ideal Portrayals of Masculinity and Male Beauty

This is the first installment of a series we are trying at the Female Gaze where we revisit the first essays related to Art History that we wrote. I originally came to Wellesley thinking I would be a Political Science and Middle Eastern Studies double major, but took Writing in Art History for my first-year […]Read Post ›

“All Roads Lead to Rome:” The Enduring Appeal of the Eternal City

I freely admit that I am more than a little biased about Rome. Two years ago, I lived in the Eternal City for ten weeks and the experience left an incredible impression on me. One of the most striking features of the cityscape is the great visibility of its “layers” – as the capital of […]Read Post ›
