Art Paintings of Nude Men by a Woman
While studying art history, I noticed that men painted women in sensual poses, yet women didn't paint men that way. Culturaly, historicaly, women have been sexually repressed. Now that we are free, it's time for a woman painter to show men in this reversed objective role. Ever notice how the "Artist and HIS Model" are always male artist and female model? Well, No More.

Institute of Neuroesthetics
".. the field which we have called neuroesthetics seeks to establish the biological and neurobiological foundations of aesthetic experience... Much of the correspondence received by us is from artists who want to learn about the new techniques scientists have to study the brain, and the insights these techniques have given us into perception and behaviour. Often the artists then use their new knowledge to create artworks.International Archive of Women in Architecture / IAWA

Artemisia "Italian Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi... is two distinctly different entities. One is a gorgeous early-17th-century Lolita. The other is a fearlessly ambitious teen-age prodigy who is so sure of her talent that she breaks the rules of female decorum and dares go where no "nice" woman of her time and station has gone before."

Georgia O'Keeffe "This 1977 documentary was produced toward the end of O'Keefe's life, at a time when the artist was at one with her art and her life. The hour-long film plays mainly off of O'Keefe's own words; there is no narrator's voice, there is barely an interviewer's voice. O'Keefe speaks alone..."
