Men in Art

Introduction

We have observed that the portrayal of men in art and

design has evolved over the years in many ways.

One way in which we have observed this evolution is

through the representation of power. In older times

the power was that of royalty and now is more

focused on powerful business men.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we have come to the realization that

men are still depicted as they were originally- strong

and powerful. However, the definition and visual

representation of power has changed over the

years. Power in the 13th-15th centuries was based

primarily on royal power, where as, in the 20th and

21st centuries it has been seen more so in the

representation of a successful business man.
