Berger idea of how people are perceived through images takes us back to early idea of paintings when women were seen as only pieces of meat and to be that implied vanity. Today looking at images we still maintain that same central idea. The calvin Klein model show's example of this. First by the man, he is a a seductive pose but a noticeable difference is present as he is focused on us the viewer instead of looking at something in the image. In Berger's writing he says man are even in paintings surveyors, to mean the are not being looked at for nudity. As compared to the women whom still do not see the viewer in the picture, but are more looking off in which before time the looked through mirrors to see themselves, which leaves them even to this day as being surveyed by others for there body and not for in this case the article of clothing they are wearing. We see the difference in today pictures of women as they are more conscious of their exposure to the world and to an extent come to accept that role as a sex symbol.
