Prostitution as a Symbol of Modernity in Impressionist and post-impressionist Painting.

I wanted to look closely at a group of paintings that had the subject of female sexuality in common. My research examines the increase of depictions of sex workers in the Belle Epoque in all forms of visual media because of the rise of Impressionism, the development of the city and the progression of fashion and women’s rights.

I made My thesis as a video presentation because I am more of a visual thinker. this was a great opportunity.
