1. Berger explains that publicity influence consumers by showing them that there is another way of life, compared to theirs. Consumers who see these advertisements everyday are giving them hope to achieve that “new way of life”. This is significant because this shows how they, the consumer, have an opportunity to make that change in their lives.
2. The differences between oil painting and publicity are their intent. Oil painting are specifically used for art. It supposed to be admired by others and be a part of a larger conversation. Berger mentions how oil painting are used to show the possessions you already have. Whereas publicity is used to sell. Even though we do notice in the episode and Berger explains that certain art pieces are being used to in advertisement to influence the consumer. Publicity aspires the consumer to achieve that different lifestyle.
3. One of the dreams that Berger stated was the “later tonight”. This dream is used by getting the attention a single consumer. That without this product you are jeopardized the love life you want. Or showing that without this product you and your partner can’t achieve this type of happiness with one another. It manipulates the consumer by prying into their relationship status and make them rethink how can they also be that happy as well.

During the renaissance it was clear that women were objectified through artwork. The artist would make a conscious weather to paint women with the intent to be sexualized or not. Even though some didn’t people would still find a way to sexualize them, then put the blame on women themselves for how they are being portrayed. Its only acceptable when those men find it appealing to them, and others with different views of that particular woman would deem them conceded of their own beauty. Beger states” you paint a naked woman because you like looking at her, you put a mirror in her hand, and you call the painting vanity’. I find that to be unfair to these painting. They were created by a man, who doesn’t understand how a woman feels and thinks about herself. Especially during a time where woman don’t get to have their voiced herd. Nowadays we have more female artist that are comfortable letting their voiced be herd and to be proud of it. Women are now able to control the narrative, rather someone telling them how they should be seen by others. I do believe there some men out there that still continue to create unwanted sexualizations of women and give unconstructive opinions to newer artworks, it has definitely improved.
