Right: Mary Cassatt, Woman in Black at the Opera 1879
Two thoughts from Lacan: "You never look at me from the place from which I see you."(103)
"I see from one point but...I am looked at from all sides."(72)
Top Right: Raphaelle Peale Venus Rising From the Sea A Deception 1822
A commentary on Zeuxis and Parrhasios. Trompe l'oeil or dompte-regard?
