One place the audience sees this is when Luz said the word “cunt” in front of her parents and sister and her mom became very upset. The author explains, “I shrugged, but before I could drop my shoulders she slapped me across the face” (Zambrano 50). This clearly illustrates Alberto Zambrano’s use of imagery. It's visualizing how her mom slapped her. Since her mom slapped her that can create a negative relationship between them which goes with the theme.
El laberinto del fauno (2006) is a fantasy film written and directed by Guillermo Del Toro in 2006. It is set in 1944 Francoist Spain where Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) and her pregnant mother move in with the Falangist Captain Vidal; Ofelia’s new stepfather and soon to be father of her half-brother. This essay will seek to explore how the film’s violence is meticulously portrayed as a masculine trait. It could be argued, that because violence is depicted as a masculine attribute, the main character that conveys and reinforces this concept is Captain Vidal (Sergi López). However, characters such as Carmen (Ariadna Gil) further reinstate this feature by complying and being ‘domesticated’.

‘Uprising’, an Expressionistic piece dated 1899, illustrates the revolt of the working-class, with the depiction of an allegorical nude female leading the peasants beneath her, charging forth at an unseen entity. This work explores a concept similar to that of Kollwitz’s cycle ‘The Peasant War’ which features ‘Black Anna’, a woman Kollwitz saw as an important figure in stirring significant social changes. Adopting a landscape layout, ‘Uprising’ is an asymmetrically balanced work that bears resemblance to the work, ‘Die Satanisten. Satan sät die Hexenbrut ' dated 1882. The only observed female of this artwork is portrayed with surrealistic proportions in her most vulnerable state - nude and exposed - whilst wielding a torch in her hands, her back leg swung up in a fleeing motion.

The physical qualities of Diego Rivera’s “Two Women and a Child” feature an oil on canvas medium. In this painting, Rivera utilizes the fresco technique which according to “A Beginners Guide to the Humanities” is a painting on a surface of plastered wall or ceiling, usually applied when the plaster is wet.

Living up to this quote, Artemisia became one of the best painters in Italy during a time when women were not known or respected as painters. She took “control of her being” by not caring about what others thought and used her life experiences to make inspiring art and open doors for other women to become artists. She made it possible for women to be respected as painters and gave permission for women to be honored in the artworld. Artemisia was born in Italy and lived there from 1593 to her death in 1653. Artemisa grew up in a house of artists; her mother and father both loved to paint.
The stereotype of the relations between young women and men in the majismo movement, – their peculiar characteristic, the spirited nature, and the bohemian attitude, – is the inspiration of the composition.

Comparing to the great artist, the musician depicts the milieu not mainly through the folklore or the costume drama solely. He raises the image to the mystery category making the audience create the picture of the past, present, and future.

In this painting Kahlo portrays herself as a complete full bodied woman while also reflecting her broken insides. She stands alone against a surreal barren fissured landscape that echoes the open wound in her torso. A broken stone column replaces her damaged spine and is protected by a white orthopaedic corset, while sharp nails pierce into her olive naked flesh. Frida is partially nude except for the corset and white bandages.
In this essay, I’m going to discuss the gender roles in the paintings of Dalí, in the film “Un Chien Andalou” by Buñuel and the poems of Federico García Lorca. Gender roles play a huge part within these works. All three of these artists had the ability to showcase something beautiful or majestic through disturbing and off putting imagery. This is what made their work so distinctive compared to many other artists during the surrealist period. The main things all of these artists have in common are their feelings and expressions of gender roles.
Fancessca’s work shows her desire of seeking for a trace of the death and chaos, the visually she dissolves in the darkness space, redemption, and regeneration of metaphor, Her photo always has a lot of white space, really mall photo, seems to invite the audience a closer look, rather than looking at coldly. The image of woman in her photo is not clear, they disappeared in the space, is no longer a male gaze or peep at a woman 's body, it is a state of using "disappear" new to highlight their own sense of the female body, confused the boundary of fuzzy state, reduce the likelihood of women by men gaze, literally, but also give female body another possibility and development space. Those women is to refuse, romantically disappear, they are not able to be grasped, with some sadness, as if death like,
