Summary of Mary Beard's How Do We Look

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The history of art is about how we look. It is not only about the men and women who created the images that fill our world, from cheap trinkets to priceless masterpieces. We must consider the controversies, discussions, and debates around any such masterpieces.

#2 Part One focuses on the art of the body, and how it has been portrayed around the world. It asks what those images were for and how they were viewed.

#3 The idea that the female nude implies a predatory male gaze was not first thought up in the 1960s feminism. It was first seen in classical Greece, and some of the earliest intellectuals argued fiercely about the rights and wrongs of portraying gods in human form.

#4 The concept of civilization is a process of exclusion as well as inclusion. It is difficult to define, but it is typically used to describe cultures that share certain values.
