As much of Stettner\u2019s work focuses on cityscapes and urban scenes meant to raise social consciousness, this photograph stands out as a personal and intimate work. His photography is unique in its ability to be simultaneously objective and subjective\u2014he represents the world as it is, yet he still manages to communicate emotion. An art critic described his photographs as \u201cegoless, quiet undemonstrative\u201d while still conveying human conditions like suffering and joy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Janet<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> fits into Stettner\u2019s tradition of being realistic and emotional through it\u2019s characterization of pregnancy. The angle of Janet\u2019s body highlights the weight of pregnancy. Her breasts and belly droop with gravity, portraying the physical labor and bodily transformation associated with carrying a child. While this is a realistic representation of pregnancy, the image is also infused with sensuality in Janet\u2019s facial expression and curving body. Coming from the male gaze, the sensuality complicates Janet\u2019s agency. Does she consider pregnancy a sensual experience, or is this simply her husband\u2019s understanding? Stettner\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Janet<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> contributes both to the trend of realistic representation of pregnancy and the co-opting of the pregnant body through the ownership of the male gaze.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center\">Details<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_791\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-791\" style=\"width: 226px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-791 \" src=\"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/art-history-2560-fall-2020-female-pregnancy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/487\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-12-17-at-10.09.14-PM-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/art-history-2560-fall-2020-female-pregnancy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/487\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-12-17-at-10.09.14-PM-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/art-history-2560-fall-2020-female-pregnancy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/487\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-12-17-at-10.09.14-PM-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/art-history-2560-fall-2020-female-pregnancy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/487\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-12-17-at-10.09.14-PM.png 453w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 226px) 100vw, 226px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-791\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Her gaze<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-314","te_announcements","type-te_announcements","status-publish","hentry"],"announcement_date":"Announcement Date: August 14, 1985","announcement_image":{"iframe":false,"url":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/art-history-2560-fall-2020-female-pregnancy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/487\/2020\/12\/2012.30.38_Stettner-scaled-e1608173608204.jpg"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
