Abstract:
This paper will address three main goals: briefly present the history of the male gaze, cover the concept of ‘game theory’ and use it as a metaphor to discuss the choices being made by artists while trying to re-humanize the female form in their artwork, and discuss, using game theory strategies, which variables have been changed by artists using the female body in their work. These game theory strategies will also help us investigate whether those changes were successful or unsuccessful in allowing the female in the artwork to be viewed as a human with a story and emotion rather than an object to merely be regarded.
