Compare the attitudes of the woman and girl
with the postures of the man and boy.
Describe them or give a gut reaction.

 


A 1970s ad, but what is the basic posture message?

 

 
What is your impression of the character of these two people?
What words come to your mind when you look at the woman?
And when you concentrate on the man?

 


If you did not get the picture before, then please try these posture
and notice your impression. Check out the choice of words, too.

 

From a catalogue to the exhibition "Body-Bilder" at the Kantonsmuseum Baselland, Liestal (Switzerland) in 1999 (in German, Bilder means "image/s", so this title plays on both German and English meanings).
