come out strutting down the runway with one of those looks that says you “Feast on me‚ I’m here to be looked at‚ my body is for your eyes.” (Bordo 191) Bordo uses this quote as she describes the young man in the Calvin Klein ad who without being forward about it portrays an image of sexuality.

a man named John Berger who sat in front of a naked man‚ drawing frantically on a piece of paper that later would become/will become (jag vet inte vad du tycker ar bast?) the groundwork of his essay “Drawing.” As Berger‚ writing his essay from the perspective of an authentic artist‚ starts to examine the process of drawing from beginning to end‚ his work in Selected Essays will convey an author with divergent voices that will help us relate to the very abstract and complex ideas Berger expresses around
